A different way to work with, but it's been incredible and useful. Customer support is excellent.
What do you like best about the product?
Customer support is incredible. The FAQ section as well is really good.
For updates on the lib, it's clear as crystal what I need to update and code examples from the tutorial.

What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't got any problems so far. I think what bugs me most is pushing code that is not ready, but protected by a feature flag.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For new releases on production for our website, we can disable if something goes bad. Also early access to some clients or even different pages and functionalities for the current plan for the user. So we can sell different functionalities depending on what the client needs. Very useful.
Intuitive Feature Flagging Software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to add complex configurations that allow for very granular feature flagging.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes feature flag changes are slow and take several minutes or more to be committed. Additionally, a LaunchDarkly outage took several hours to resolve with no backup or workaround for users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows engineers and customer service representatives on our team to enable/disable features for specific customers with characteristics that match our criteria.
Very good tool for feature flags! highly recommended!
What do you like best about the product?
The complex conditions you can target in order to turn on/off feature flags in your system
What do you dislike about the product?
if you target a lot of specific users manually, it's hard to track on who you is targeted and who not, and it's hard to make an operation on multiple users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can deploy critical changes in my system to production and still to be on the safe side that if something goes wrong I can revert quickly to the previous code logic
Getting features out of the dark
What do you like best about the product?
Fast setup, easy to learn interface, fast toggle of features
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited seats for developers/PMs/designers. Cost of each addition tool/addon, forces us into the enterprise tier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploying code to test in production while not giving it to all. Turn it off if it works well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the seat limitation before purchasing. Be prepared to teach your company new practices about the best way to set up feature flags.
Looking forward to the future
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility of continuous deployment
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure right now, I'm new to the platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speeding up deployments into production
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a lot to like about using feature flags through LaunchDarkly. The interface appears very simple and the
Great for launching beta features
What do you like best about the product?
Great for rolling out features slowly for beta testing in production. I would say it is less well suited for toggling features permanently for users as this requires more integration with our backend and billing systems that would be a lot of work to set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model means that to get adequate users to enable sensible auditing is very expensive. We have ended up sharing users between engineers just to make the solution cost-effective. This is OK while we are developing, but once we fully roll out to production and want non-engineers to take control of the feature flags, it will be difficult to get the cost approved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building a new customer-facing platform that spans all products in the company and has multiple teams working on features. LaunchDarkly allows us to manage our rollout of new features by different teams so they can be deployed independently and slowly released to the interested beta users.
Having features wrapped in flags has allowed us to test in production before anyone sees it. This has allowed us to find issues that we could not have seen with QA data.

I like it!
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the in memory calculation, the ability to store last versions on dynamodb, a great documentation and plenty of integrations. I like that every time that I press the intercom button I see new cool features.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have an implementation for tests that allows to fetch the flags and then use only in memory set and get of flags, as we have selenium tests that have many variations and the api quota is far from being enough as tests are running in parallel. I had to implement a kind of a hack with dynamodb and multiple launchdarkly clients in order to make it work. It was nice If I could send an email for users in a beta group, but it doesn't make sense with the in memory solution so I have no idea how to do it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Opening features, creation of beta groups, using the simple UI to enable folks from the business to change the variation for a segment, gradual rollout, kill switch in case of issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a solid flagging solution, and you feel that your company is ready to takes the next step toward continous deployment, it will help you achieve it
Pretty easy to set up
What do you like best about the product?
LauchDarkly is pretty simple and has just enough features to be useful without getting overwhelming. I was able to get it working within 2 hours in a fairly complex web app.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the custom attributes to be the most powerful feature and could really be used to replace other features, making it and even simpler tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It puts less pressure on our team to get things passed at the deadline. If one feature has not be tested to our satisfaction, we can disable it and not hold up the entire release.
LaunchDarkly has tremendously cut down on prod patches!
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly has great up time! They also have first class Terraform support.
What do you dislike about the product?
The raw API clients for manually manipulating flags are a bit rough (just generated with Open API). But most companies wouldn't need to use them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now that we are using LaunchDarkly, we don't need to patch prod as often. Any larger change gets a feature flag, so we can roll it out safely.
Easy for customer-facing teams to manage
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to find flags and quickly enable or disable for our customers. We also leverage a Slack integration so that we can monitor changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be cool to see a little easier way of which "customers" have which flag.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to do staged or slow rollouts of features, control the experience for various customer types, and of course use it for testing to duplicate the same experience we can later use for our customer environments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Encourage communication between eng and customer-facing teams to make sure the naming conventions of the flags are consistent. Make descriptive notes or mention tickets that best describe the feature behind the flag.
