Does exactly what you expect it to do
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. It's reliable which is exactly what you need from a feature flag management solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. It does what you ecpect it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LD allows us to ship WIP code behind feature flags, making feature releases simple and predictable. It also gives PM control over who gets access to new features when.
LD has proven to be an invaluable tool for our development and release management processes
What do you like best about the product?
The real-time monitoring features are exceptional. Being able to track the performance of feature flags and their impact on user experience has been instrumental in making data-driven decisions during deployment.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the platform is generally user-friendly, there is a slight learning curve for new users. A more comprehensive onboarding guide could be beneficial.

Amazing feature set; the outage raises reliability issues
What do you like best about the product?
Feature flagging and experimentations have been a core part of my work flow, and I have really enjoyed utilizing LaunchDarkly's suite of controlled rollout tools.
The SDKs for Node and React have been excellent as well, and I can't recall ever running into issues with them.

What do you dislike about the product?
The outage a few weeks ago raises serious concerns about reliablity. Strong SLA metrics are absolutely essiential for an app like this so LaunchDarkly needs to ensure this doesn't happen again; it's horrifying to think of us not being able to shut off a feature with a p0 bug because our flag provider is down.
I also don't like that you have to enable a flag before running an experiment; it seems unintuitive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Adding failsafes and granularity to feature rollouts. As a larger product, we need to experiment and ensure our features are effective and robust; we also need the ability to shut off larger functionalities if things go wrong. This mantains the integrity of our product.
Very Happy for Switching to LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like how responsive the UI/UX is, it is very easy to use and implement in our code base. It also allows for some granularity where we can set up feature flags as booleans however it would be nice to be able to enable based on certain values of strings via a context param for that feature flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to be able to enable feature flags based on certain values of strings via a context param. I think it could provide easier integration within our system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LauchDarkly allows us to enable feature flags during work hours and it provides instanteous enablement of features without the user needing to refresh. This is very crucial for us as users usually do not refresh or sign out and sign in very often due to the nature of our system and async step up.
LaunchDarkly is an easy to use tool for having flags toggled and reflected in real-time
What do you like best about the product?
- It's easy to use
- It's simple UI
- Easy to manage
- Integrating it is simple from frontend and backend. Can get started in minutes.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Toggling a number of flags in multiple environments can be a bit tedious
- Comparing more than two environments (can't see all)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to toggle on and off features for demoing purposes.
The go-to platform for feature control
What do you like best about the product?
1) Easy flag management with customized rules supported.
2) Integration with NodeJS and React framework and it's easy to set up in tests.
3) Flexible rules to control feature flag service strategy.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) Live events monitoring seems not working very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very easy to toggle flags in different environments according to real needs. We also use feature flags to control UI/experimental feature access to the next product version on a environment/customer base. For those features that UI has rolled out but the backend is unavailable at the moment, we use feature flags to control feature visibility so when backend is ready UI will enable the feature timely.
LaunchDarkly is a convenient way to manage feature flags
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly is useful for enabling seamless feature rollouts and risk mitigation. Its feature flagging system allows for controlled deployments, environment-specific flags ensure thorough testing, and user segmentation enhances personalized feature delivery. The platform's real-time feature management capabilities are particularly beneficial for dynamic services.
What do you dislike about the product?
LaunchDarkly's challenges include the complexity of managing an increasing number of feature flags, potentially high overhead costs, and a steep learning curve for teams new to feature flagging. Dependence on this external service introduces a risk of external failures. Moreover, accumulating feature flag debt can lead to cluttered codebases, especially given that my company uses multiple different feature flag systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly is a simple and easy UI for managing feature flags and creating safe rollouts.
Very easy to control and very responsive, excellent to rollout features
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to create control flags and rollout features based on percentage. Excellent solution for unlocking new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Control flags that need context are still not very intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rolling out features based on flags and traffic percentage.
LaunchDarkly is proven to be an indispensable tool for managing feature releases
What do you like best about the product?
One of the biggest benefits for me has been the ability to easily toggle features on or off in real-time during periods of service degradation. When performance issues arise, I can disable non-essential features instantly, keeping critical parts of the service running smoothly while we troubleshoot. This has saved us from several potential outages. The integration process was overall smooth as well.
The ability to roll out features incrementally has allowed us to test new functionality in production without fully exposing it to all users. If something doesn’t go as planned, rolling back is as simple as flipping a switch — no redeployment needed. This has reduced the stress around releases, knowing that we always have a safety net.

What do you dislike about the product?
LD generates a lot of logs by default, which can be handled better. So, I have to disable un-neccessary logs myself for each of the service.
While it’s easy to get started with basic feature flags, there’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to more advanced use cases like complex targeting or running experiments.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly's user targeting has been a game changer for us. We can control who sees which features, allowing us to release to specific user segments or internal teams first. This is especially helpful for A/B testing or when introducing new functionality to power users before a wider release.
The dashboard is easy to navigate, and even non-technical team members have been able to manage feature flags without any issues. The UI provides a clear, real-time view of what’s happening across environments, making it easy to spot problems early.
