LaunchDarkly is to Feature Flags what Google is to Search.
What do you like best about the product?
When it comes to modernizing Software Delivery, LaunchDarkly is one of the first things I talk about. Feature Flagging completely changes the way we deliver value to customers, and helps to do it rapidly and safely, functions LaunchDarkly delivers on consistently.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue we have as a smaller company is the costs of full adoption for all our platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to freely enable new features on the fly, review them, get feedback, and if needed, turn them back off to iterate on that feature before fully launching.

LaunchDarkly Feature Flagging Solution
What do you like best about the product?
It has easily configurable custom environments to separate configuration of your production and testing environments and individual developers environments. It's quick and easy to get a new environment up for testing or new hires and adding new flags is super efficient. Very low or zero downtime and very smooth user interface makes it easy to work with. Audit logging is also a very useful feature to see exactly what flags were changed and when to track down configuration problems. The ability to set up one flag as a prerequisite of another is also a useful feature that doesn't rely on having to find each reference to a flag in the code base and include that condition.
What do you dislike about the product?
The permissions system is somewhat lacking for our needs, but the jump in price to expand it wouldn't quite justify the use we'd get, so we have some workaround in place. I've also noticed some subtle UI behavior that seemed like a bug, but upon further inspection turned out to just be a limitation on our account limits. Overall, I have many more likes than dislikes though. I do wish there was an easier way to sync all flags from environment to another directly in the UI rather than by using a one-by-one approach or home-built solution, which relies upon the API and is subject to global rate limits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to target users by individual ID or by creating a user group based on rules is very useful and has allowed us to completely replace our home-grown feature flagging solution to focus on initiatives providing more direct user value. I think it's made our overall feature flagging process much more efficient and reliable. We've used LaunchDarkly to roll out migration work with little or no direct user impact, entirely new features, beta features, and features targeted to specific subsets of our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this product to anyone considering or needing a feature flagging solution.
Performant resource for implementing feature flags with sophisticated targeting
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to target flag rules. Applications pick up flag changes immediately and they make it easy to manage flags in multiple applications and deployment environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything to dislike. Larger applications may have trouble managing all their feature flags, but that is the nature of the beast and not a slight against LaunchDarkly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to separate deployment of code from release. And I can target subsets of users to try a feature so as to minimize risk.
LaunchDarkly is the real deal when it comes to feature switching!
What do you like best about the product?
Using LaunchDarkly for feature flags is easy, reliable, and fast. Changes to flag status propagate quickly, reliably, and have a great deal of redundancy built in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their APIs and SKDs could use a little polish, the API is good but could be better, and we had some problems with their iOS SDK
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our main reason for moving to LaunchDarkly was for fast and reliable feature switching. One happy bonus that we ended up with is their simple but powerful segmentation abilities. We are now able target users by a wide variety of criteria, and custom fields allow us to choose how we want to segment. This has been invaluable for internal production validation before rolling features out to our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't already have a feature flag solution, or are running a home grown one, you cannot go wrong with LaunchDarkly
Working with LD has been a very streamlined experience
What do you like best about the product?
Their documentation is through the roof. When I first started looking at their product it wasn't very often that I could think of a question around feature flagging that they did not already account for. Their blogs have also really helped in learning of best practices around feature flagging and the tooling support they provide around it, like Terraform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the nature of feature flagging, testing can be extremely difficult. Although Launch Darkly provides guidance of how to write integration and acceptance tests, they aren't always going to cover the different use cases of how these tests are ran.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch Darkly has allowed teams to gain more confidence in the code they write today. I see more and more flags being created every day. A lot of these flags go towards customer facing websites and with Launch Darkly's flag we can be sure to deliver new aesthetics and functionality on time.
This service speed up our development by allowing splitting deployment from release cycles.
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of usage and high availability.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have a better way of flags management (views). So we know we should have a convention, but proposals from LD about it and maybe force that in case a team choose such convention would be really valuable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically thanks to LaunchDarkly we could split the service deployment cycles from the exact release to the customer. In a DevOps world I would say this is "must have".
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.
Fast and safely shipping the features that customers need
What do you like best about the product?
- Launchdarkly help us ship features across all platforms (web, native apps, and backends)
- The slack integrations help us enable team's autonomy being aware of the status of the flags
- The easy to use UI empowers product managers to turn on the feature for all users

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing alarming so far (even though we do have lots of legacy flags to clean up :) )
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need flags to control the feature rollout. LaunchDarkly does exactly fulfill that job.
IMO, Launchdarkly is part of modern software stack, the more you do, the continuous delivery maturity of the team would go.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Engineers should be empowered to build software core to the business, and they should ship software frequently as well as safely. Launchdarkly is a service empowering that idea.
