LaunchDarkly is an amazing product to use for any work we do following agile methodology.
What do you like best about the product?
The "feature flags" creation for any design and development of the product. Each individual working on same project can crete their respective feature flag and that makes the development environment faster. .
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. But by creating a different feature flag. Its good if we can create with their own respective ID. Because when we move to production we have to change the other peoples created feature flag into one single name.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its keeps track of different features and changes in the design of the product with one single codebase branch. Its like a verison control system for the product featutre level. It helps the team to work on one sigle branch and avoid the conflicts.
Have full control on your feature rollout
What do you like best about the product?
Best thing about LaunchDarkly is its flexiblity in allowing users to configure different flag types, schedule the rollout and target a small set based on percentage. I have been using LaunchDarkly for last 2 years and I feel still there are lot of LD features that I am not using.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be frank, nothing really. Everything is just awesome with this tool, I like this tool most and suggest many of collegues to use this tool to its full potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slow rollout of features
Beta validation of featues
Early Adoption of features
Targetted rollout
Custom configuration of features per customer

Great tool for managing deployment risk for new builds
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to both control percentage rollouts on new features and manage new feature development work in a safe way. We are able to easily run internal beta, early access, and the GA rollout plans as a result of the LD capabilities. Regional controls also are a boon to development.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't get the getting started menu to disappear without completing all the tasks even if I don't want to complete them. Otherwise, I've had no issues with the product / platform. It's been a great tool for our development and product management org.

LaunchDarkly is empowering our Company
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use along with great features that our engineers can take advantage of. LaunchDarkly also has great customer service and is quick to act when we bring up bugs or questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be tought to find things wtihin the UI. Some of the new features can take some time to implement correctly but LaunchDarkly has good documentation and plenty of people willing to help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing in Prod and being able to rollback quickly
Very necessary for experimentation oriented teams
What do you like best about the product?
When integration is done successfully, you are free to explore your hipothesis with the safety of a solid feature flag system. The best part of it is that all changes are imediate. You can select who will be affected by your changes and easily set them across multiple deployment environments. That really allow for great speed, specially if the whole business has the understanding that you can experiment without many risks! Deploying on weekends is no longer a problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a price to everything, and LaunchDarkly will (fairly) charge you for the feature flags that you forget to archive. Of course, forgetting feature flags is bad by itself, so you will have one more reason to clean up after your experiments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Releasing features risk free, to selected audiences and allowing us to continuous deliver without worrying that our features or fixes can break production. It's also possible to integrate LD with a multitude of services, allowing you fine control over your deployments.
Houseware is a game changer! My time-to-insights has gone down from hours/days to minutes.
What do you like best about the product?
Time taken to analyse data & arrive at insights has significantly reduced with Houseware. It's very easy to use too and covers most of my use cases for product analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some data attributes are not easily accessible unless you get them instrumented. That might pose a challenge when you have not fully set it up or add a new event on your product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Houseware helps you look at user funnels, track A/B experiments, user flows and a lot more. It helps me get a quick look at some data I want to check and get a directional sense before I dig deeper into analysing a problem statement.
We use it a lot in order to ship fast and safely in production
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use and implement feature flags in your product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is a bit strict being a per-user basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use LaunchDarkly to release features in smaller chunks because we hide them under a feature flag. This allows for more rapid delivery without breaking things.
And even if stuff break we can always turn off the FF and use it as a rollback machnizem most of the time.

An excellent feature flagging system with a minor problem
What do you like best about the product?
Integration of the SDK for our mobile apps was relatively simple, and usage over the last two years has been excellent. We've used it extensively for featuring flagging as well as configuration items. Switching flags can't be done by accident, setting up a new project gets you a production environment AND a testing environment by default, and when a new flag is created, both environments get access to the flag (though the states are separate).
What do you dislike about the product?
User account creation and permission management are a mess. Our entire company uses it and each new user can see every single project within the console. I'd love it if users could only see the specific projects they have access rights to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch Darkly allows us to ship features in an MVP state and try them out with small batches of users while we iron out the problems. It means we can ship faster and hide incomplete things behind feature flags.
LaunchDarkly helps release features quickly and with confidence
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to turn on and off features easily without deployment, enable features for target users only, ability to do percentage rollout of feature and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
LaunchDarkly UI can have the ability to copy rules across different environments instead of having to write them for each enviornment manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to launch features without having to revert code or do another deployment. Also target users in Production env so can have confidence feature works as expected in production for small set of internal users before rolling to general public.
Makes developing and releasing features much more easier with a simple click
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of implementation and ease of turning on/off feature flags instantly. Also, being able to target users individually and have environments for test/production environments. Reliable uptime; never had any issues with LaunchDarkly going down.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can be a little daunting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to launch features at the click of a button when it's ready. Turning off features if a breaking bug occurs in the production app. Due to working on a mobile app, we have release windows of every x amount of weeks. If one of our features breaks, we can simply turn that feature flag off and issue a fix for the next release rather than scrambling for a hotfix.
