We've been using Launchdarkly to control experiments or changes that we want to A|B test in Prod.
What do you like best about the product?
Control experiments easily and ability to target users directly, by percentage or also by cid.
What do you dislike about the product?
A UI Change was recently made to LD and before it was easier to create simple flags and now it is more difficult to understand and to create simple flags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving the ability to turn on/off features in Prod that previously required us to rollback Prod for all features when we know that the issue is a single feature.
Very easy to control and very responsive, excellent to rollout features
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to create control flags and rollout features based on percentage. Excellent solution for unlocking new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Control flags that need context are still not very intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rolling out features based on flags and traffic percentage.
LaunchDarkly is proven to be an indispensable tool for managing feature releases
What do you like best about the product?
One of the biggest benefits for me has been the ability to easily toggle features on or off in real-time during periods of service degradation. When performance issues arise, I can disable non-essential features instantly, keeping critical parts of the service running smoothly while we troubleshoot. This has saved us from several potential outages. The integration process was overall smooth as well.
The ability to roll out features incrementally has allowed us to test new functionality in production without fully exposing it to all users. If something doesn’t go as planned, rolling back is as simple as flipping a switch — no redeployment needed. This has reduced the stress around releases, knowing that we always have a safety net.

What do you dislike about the product?
LD generates a lot of logs by default, which can be handled better. So, I have to disable un-neccessary logs myself for each of the service.
While it’s easy to get started with basic feature flags, there’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to more advanced use cases like complex targeting or running experiments.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly's user targeting has been a game changer for us. We can control who sees which features, allowing us to release to specific user segments or internal teams first. This is especially helpful for A/B testing or when introducing new functionality to power users before a wider release.
The dashboard is easy to navigate, and even non-technical team members have been able to manage feature flags without any issues. The UI provides a clear, real-time view of what’s happening across environments, making it easy to spot problems early.

Good robust tool for flag management but missing some enhanced capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of creating flags and using them is exemplary. Besides the metrics showing how frequenty flags are being evaluated is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Prerequisite flags do not solve all use cases especially when mix of flags are used in multiple ongoing dev projects.
The release pipeline UI is confusing when coupled with switch environment options.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building features iteratively without hampering production user experience.
Makes managing development easier
What do you like best about the product?
It makes managing different environment setups much easier. It gives users a much easier way to manage features.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had an issue where a user has been able to make a change without permission and this has led to issues on our end. It would be nice to have a feature where someone could make a change request and it could be approved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to manage features across different environments
LD Review
What do you like best about the product?
Functionality, flexibility, ease of use & UI/UX
What do you dislike about the product?
Some recent changes to UI recently, slowness at times when updating a large flag configuration, recent outage
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to release to production behind LD flags and toggle those features on/off without engineering work. We can also throttle volume flexibly for pilot programs, found bugs, etc.
LaunchDarkly review
What do you like best about the product?
multiple useful features with easy implementation using SDKs.
What do you dislike about the product?
LaunchDarkly has the potential to set industry standards on feature flagging. Useful wikis on how to use flags will be helpful for the users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LD is helping us implement and maintain feature flags at ease.
My experience has been overall positive.
What do you like best about the product?
It's helpful being able to use the feature flags for hiding bits of code until its ready for use and being able to limit or slowly rollout the users who are able to interact with the hidden feature. It's also helpful for people that are not devs on the team as they can turn on/off features without a dev changing the codebase.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont really have any dislikes of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its allowing devs on our team to continue pushing new code into any env branch while also keeping the branch deployable at anytime. It simplifies our branching strategy and it provides a fast on/off switch for example, a feature not performing as expected without the need to go through another dev life cycle & deployment.
Excellent and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
LD has made rolling out to varying customers quick and easy while lowering the time to recover in the event of issues. It has been very easy to integrate into our services. Managing flags and segments is straight forward and they offer tons of analytics to understand the state of the flags.
What do you dislike about the product?
LD does not make it easy to support integers as strings when applying targeting rules. It's not common knowledge you have to copy a letter at the start of the list to change the type. The UI often hangs or fails when working with large amounts of targets in segments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our business had an in-house feature flag system that offered On/Off support and some targeting. LaunchDarkly allows us to transition away and have smarter rollout plans through segment targeting or percent rollouts. This also decreases risk by allowing us to try new features out on customers in beta programs, etc.
I use LD flag to control and test new API behaviour
What do you like best about the product?
I have the flexibility to control multiple varations at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features have usage description in document. However the example is unclear. If LD has more example of different usage cases, it will be more helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with LD to enable new features; adjust different threshold to observe behaviour changes; disable variation to see error result thrown by API.
