Granular Targeting with Improved Feature Control
What do you like best about the product?
I like the granular targeting capabilities of LaunchDarkly. Using custom rich contexts helps us to specifically target users not only by their user and tenant but by other non-trivial properties that we collect on the endpoint. This feature is incredibly valuable for rolling out feature flags and configuration for sensitive features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the lack of crypto-signature support in LaunchDarkly. I would appreciate a feature allowing the signing of feature flag responses, either BYOK or signing with a LaunchDarkly private key.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for the rollout of feature flags and configuration for sensitive features. It helps us manage feature exposure to different customers based on their novelty appetite and serves as a kill switch during disasters. The granular targeting with custom rich contexts is particularly valuable.
Effortless Feature Management, Needs Better Slack Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like using LaunchDarkly because it's easy to use, fast, and cool. It helps me open features for specific customers based on a particular timeframe or need. I appreciate picking a group or audience using a UUID to identify accounts and then enabling the relevant flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Slack integration was better, and I could ask directly from there using AI. If I can tell the LD bot on Slack to open a feature flag for a customer, and it would find the UUID and do it for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps me open features for certain customers at specific times. I can pick a group using UUIDs and enable the necessary flags easily and quickly.
Streamlined Feature Flag Management with Comprehensive Docs
What do you like best about the product?
I really liked that the documentation was great with LaunchDarkly. I had to implement a custom flag based on database values and the examples and docs helped me accomplish this without prior experience with LaunchDarkly. I also found the setup and configuration that I did to be straightforward. Additionally, the platform made easier the tasks we previously handled with database settings and internal tool configurations. For more common tasks, it looks pretty easy to use from the UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to dig a bit in the docs to find what I needed. I also leveraged AI to find others who had done similar tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to enable features on an account basis and effortlessly toggle features on or off. It simplifies our previous process, which relied on database settings and internal configurations.
Enhanced Feature Control with User-Friendly Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that LaunchDarkly offers a better UX compared to Taplytics, both in the SDK and the dashboard. I particularly like that when editing a flag, the change does not apply until I click 'save changes.' Taplytics, about 2 years ago, didn't have that feature and would apply my changes as soon as I made them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think UX can be improved in managing many feature flags in an experiment. I don't think I can intuitively understand what experiment (a feature flag parent or group) this current feature flag I'm looking at is grouped with. With multiple feature flags being turned on, I would love to be able to see a diagram or graph that shows the entire branches of what flags we have set up and its traffic status.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to control features and experiments, solving feature experimentation and monitoring usage stats for each feature flag.
Effortless Feature Flag Management with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of the mechanism and the clearness of the management console in LaunchDarkly. I also appreciate the easy feature flag management and frontend feature flag support it provides. Additionally, the feature flag values refresh, or data invalidation process, works well. The initial setup was pretty easy too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The review and approval system wasn't clear at first. I also would like to be able to automatically apply changes as soon as they're approved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for easy feature flag management and support for Frontend feature flags.
Intuitive and User-Friendly with Effortless Flow Chart Design
What do you like best about the product?
Its very straightforward, easy to use, and formatted in a way that makes sense. The flow chart style is really easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel like the search functionality could be better. I sometimes find that I need to search exactly the write words to get the right flag to come up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly makes it easy for us to control what users can use which features. It also helps us to keep things just for Dev before public release.
Effortless Feature Rollouts with Handy UI
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the UI of LaunchDarkly, which is kind of easy to understand without having to read a manual, although some exploration and guides can be helpful. I like how LaunchDarkly allows us to roll out features to specific clients, using key attributes like ID or country, and even lets us filter hundreds of IDs in a segment. This makes it much easier compared to doing it manually in the codebase or with a database. Having a UI to manage features definitely makes things easier for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I'm not mistaken, once I set the key name for a feature, it cannot be changed. I shouldn't reuse the same key name as it will confuse future team members including me. I need to create a different feature to have a new key name.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to roll out new features without breaking production and to customize user experiences. It makes dividing user pools into different experiences easy, avoiding codebase and database manual work, and lets me target specific clients accurately.
Powerful Feature Management with Robust Controls
What do you like best about the product?
Great tool to safely manage the release of new features, with tons of functionality and controls for rollouts, A/B testing, content management, and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other than potential improvement for the UI/UX in terms of placement of buttons and text boxes, I can't say I dislike anything about LaunchDarkly!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly has helped our business solve the problem of fast, continuous development and iteration without needing to withhold releases of features. It helps us easily turn features off when issues arise, as well as safely and progressively roll them out when we need to. It makes it simple to manage features for different environments, and set many variations for a wide range of functionality.
Robust Feature Management with a Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I really like LaunchDarkly's UI. It allows my team to control releases easily, make informative decisions, and be able to easily see what we are actually doing with releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is great, but it can be too hard to use for new users. There are too much of things on a screen, I think some of those can be hidden into some dropdowns, or something like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to release new features with controlled processes. The great UI makes it easy for our team to control releases, make informed decisions, and understand our actions.
Streamlined Feature Management, Minor Documentation Hurdles
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to manage feature flags with LaunchDarkly. It's great that we can see all experiments and flags in a unified place, which makes handling them much simpler. Given that our engineering department is large, having this unified view really helps us see what's deployed and in which environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the documentation confusing for deprecating and archiving flags. It wasn't clear from the UI/documentation exactly what the behavior is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly as a killswitch for new features. It lets us manage feature flags easily, providing a unified place to see all experiments, which simplifies deployments for our large engineering team.
