Streamlined Feature Flag Management with Robust Control
What do you like best about the product?
In production environments, LaunchDarkly is basically a life saver for managing feature flags. It provides to manage feature rollouts and do canary releases, with minimum risk What makes it great is that BJ works with our existing CI/CD pipeline so well, that its integration has been incredibly efficient. This type of flexibility in targeting a specific users segment and turning on or off features while it is running is really valuable. Better control — e.g., ability to test new features without disrupting the entire community leading to faster iterations.
What do you dislike about the product?
LaunchDarkly is a powerful service to use for this, but its navigation could be more intuitive given how many feature flags you have. It also has more expensive pricing than others, which may not be very accessible for small teams or organizations. Once you get to more complex rules there is a learning curve — so slightly ease of use is needed when setting those up. Having more robust reporting features, too, so teams can examine how their flags have performed over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is where LaunchDarkly comes into its own, helping manage feature launches in multiple environments gracefully to avoid disruptions or downtime. This makes it possible to separate feature deployment from code releases, which provides us the option of testing and iterating on features in real-time. This significantly increased the speed and confidence with which we could roll out updates. When we roll out new features to specific user segments, it allows us to gauge user feedback early and helps prevent bugs or performance issues from disrupting the entire audience. Which in the end makes for cleaner, more organized releases which your users are then benefiting from and with that allowing you to proceed further.
A satisfying product .

It can achieve config dynamic hotloading, AB experiment and also canary rollout which is very useful in real work.
What do you dislike about the product?
For now don't think there's anything unsatisfy me since it basically suffice all the requirement I have.

Good tool to manage configs
What do you like best about the product?
Easy apporaval process and ease of making change
What do you dislike about the product?
difficult to keep these config in sync with code configs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its helps in instanly apply configs changes in prod
Really great for maintaining dynamic configs
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly is an excellent tool for managing all your dynamic configurations. It allows you to easily set up rules that govern how configurations respond based on requests, which is incredibly helpful. Integration with any service is seamless, and implementing custom or fallback handling is straightforward. I use LaunchDarkly every day!
What do you dislike about the product?
As LaunchDarkly supports adding complex rules, the evaluation latency would be directly proportional to the rule complexity, so the person who sets up different flags should be aware of the consequences, especially when the flag check is in the path of every request.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, the main problem that LaunchDarkly solves is the Dynamic config management which is especially useful in case of feature rollout by either dynamically enabling/disabling the feature at runtime or A/B testing the feature just for a set of users. Configuring and maintaining all this at a single place is really helpful for me.
Launch Darkly Makes Config Management And Feature Release Very Easy
What do you like best about the product?
There are three aspects that I like very much about launchdarkly.
First of all, its UI is very easy to use. Even if you are using this platform for the first time and have no idea how it works, you can quickly onboarding it and migrate your old local config to the launch darkly platform.
The second point is that the config changes very fast. After changing the config on launchdarkly, we don’t need to do any extra operations. The config changes will take effect quickly, which helps us better manage our business.
Finally, launchdarkly’s environment is a very useful feature, which allows us to minimized the code change and clearly control all configurations through launchdarkly itself.

What do you dislike about the product?
The permission management in launch darkly is a bit complicated, it's hard to apply permissions directly in the org, can we integrate a permission application system in launch darkly, just like the application for config?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using LaunchDarkly as a feature management and config management service, config changes are very easy and fast to reflect on our service response in a very short time. This is a huge improvement over our old self-built services!

a Good Software
What do you like best about the product?
1. Feature Flag Management: LaunchDarkly’s ability to easily create, manage, and deploy feature flags at scale is a huge asset, enabling you to roll out new features gradually and safely without requiring code deployment.
2. User Segmentation: The ability to target specific groups of users with different feature sets allows for more personalized and controlled releases, which is great for testing and experimentation.
3. Real-time Updates: Feature flags can be toggled in real-time, giving instant feedback and control over feature releases, which is helpful in responding quickly to bugs or performance issues.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Learning Curve: For users new to feature management tools, there can be a learning curve when setting up and managing feature flags effectively, especially if your team isn’t familiar with this type of platform.
2. Complexity with Large Projects: Managing a large number of feature flags across multiple projects can become a bit complex, and it may be challenging to maintain flag hygiene (e.g., removing outdated flags).

Exceptional product for flag based rollout
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about LaunchDarkly is the ability to rollout features in silos based on flags, it enables us in conditonal based rollout without affecting the existing features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The older UI/dashboard was more intitiutive and easy to use, the newer dashboard seems to be more complex and cluttered
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly solves the feature management issues, it enables us to launch new features in silos or for specific set of Apps and enables us to avoid any backward compatibility issues
Review of LaunchDarkly by a Software Developer
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly makes feature flagging incredibly easy, allowing me to manage releases without redeploying code. Its intuitive interface and seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines are fantastic for quick feature toggles.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing structure can be steep for smaller projects, and I wish there were more out-of-the-box analytics for tracking feature performance over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of risky feature deployments by allowing me to toggle features on or off instantly, reducing downtime and making the release process smoother.
Great experience with UI but IAM provides hinderence
What do you like best about the product?
appreciate the flexibility that LaunchDarkly provides, especially when it comes to changing critical parameters, like the threshold of the transcoding queue, on the fly without any downtime. The UI is intuitive and well-designed, making it easy to navigate and manage feature flags. The explanations for different terminologies are clear and helpful, making it accessible even for team members who might not be familiar with the more technical aspects of feature flag management.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, I find that replicating the entire Amazon IAM role architecture for role management is overkill. While security is important, the complexity of this setup adds unnecessary overhead to managing access control. The role management system could be simplified without sacrificing flexibility or security, making it easier to configure permissions for users and teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to update some transcoding paramter on fly where we could not afford any downtime
