LaunchDarkly - Feature Toggling Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
A wide range of available SDKs
Simple to implement/manage feature flags
Positive attitude towards experimentation with features

What do you dislike about the product?
For the end user there's no real downside for implementing LaunchDarkly, the Custom Role implementation on the Admin side could be improved slightly to offer easier project permission management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better control on released features, CD is made a lot easier and stress free.
Awesome tool to release features
What do you like best about the product?
Good Admin UI. Very easy to learn and implement. The app can be up and running with feature flags within minutes.
Simple SDK for development.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Completing all the development and dropping the code all the way to production without having to worry about if the code works well or not.
We can release the feature in the background in the canary mode which significantly reduces the risk.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a stable and reliable tool for feature management & release. The code can be fully developed and dropped to production and time the feature release depending on the events and occasions.
The tool also propagates the flag change within secs to the app which helps to manage the feature release instantly. The tool also has support to release the feature for a small subset of users.

Control everything about your code, from tests to rollouts through one easy to use web inteface.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to target down to the individual user for a feature state, all the way to phased and controlled rollouts. Also that the feature flag system is usable in every level of our stack, from the browser and mobile clients all the way down through our service architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way to auto delete flags that are not being requested. I also wish that segments could be made up of other segments, allowing for that level of control outside of the feature setup itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything from A/B testing to feature flagging to functionality kill switches. The ability to have a centralized controlled system that can handle all of these pieces of our deployment process has been invaluable in both ease of use, and ability to quickly make changes when needed.
LaunchDarkly has helped us achieve Continuous Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Using the feature flags within LaunchDarkly has allowed us to decouple the deployment of the code from the release of a feature. This has allowed us to release updates to production without the fear of exposing an incomplete feature. With this, we can now do daily deployments even when features take weeks to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish their user licensing model was a little different. It can get pricey to have licenses for even a medium sized team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly has helped us achieve Continuous Delivery and daily deployments with creating a complicated model to keep incomplete work out of sight. We build our features incrementally with small stories, so a feature may be slowly built over a couple of weeks. Instead of keeping all of those changes out of the codebase, we can now put these changes into our master branch without fear of exposing these to the user until we are ready. This allows the other teams to merge in the new code and incorporate these changes early and often, reducing the overhead of merge conflicts that occur from keeping the code separate for a long period of time.
So much better than our in-house system
What do you like best about the product?
We once built our own system to enable flags and traffic splits. This is so much better, easier, and more sophisticated. No reason anymore to bring this in-house. Let a company like this specialize in it and make it better for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the fields need more explanation since it is hard to understand what they do. Like if I enable this setting what exactly is it going to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launching features to production behind a flag, setting up a/b tests, & letting non-engineers finalize configurations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not go in-house, leverage this tool.
