The industry standard for safe feature management
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature is the "Kill Switch" capability. It gives our team tremendous confidence to know that we can immediately disable a problematic feature in production without having to roll back code. The ability to separate deployment from release has truly transformed our workflow for the better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dealing with "flag debt" can be quite challenging. Although there are tools available to help spot outdated flags, actually removing them from the codebase once a feature is fully released still demands significant manual effort and discipline from the engineering team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It decouples our code deployments from feature releases. We can merge code to the main branch daily without exposing incomplete features to customers. It acts as an immediate safety net. If a new feature causes performance issues, we can disable it in seconds without waiting for a new build or deployment pipeline to run. It allows us to safely test features with a small percentage of users to gather feedback and verify stability before rolling out to 100% of our audience.
Streamlined Feature Management, Minor Documentation Hurdles
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to manage feature flags with LaunchDarkly. It's great that we can see all experiments and flags in a unified place, which makes handling them much simpler. Given that our engineering department is large, having this unified view really helps us see what's deployed and in which environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the documentation confusing for deprecating and archiving flags. It wasn't clear from the UI/documentation exactly what the behavior is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly as a killswitch for new features. It lets us manage feature flags easily, providing a unified place to see all experiments, which simplifies deployments for our large engineering team.
Effortless Feature Management and Intuitive Dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
The experience, it's incredibly easy to use. The dashboard is super intuitive, easy to follow once you get familiar with it. The integration as well, is very easy and straightforward. Implementing flags in LD is about as easy as it gets. Just install the SDK, initialize with api key, and you're ready to use feature flags. Documentation is very detailed, just follow along when confused.
Favorite part about LD - how much better life is with testing. It very easy to manage flags based on environments. This is useful when testing and if ever in the event something is wrong in production, it's very easy to kill it with the flagging system. The targeting rules -- being able to segment users based on their attributes makes gradual rollouts very easy.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's really not much to dislike about LD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature flag management, shipping out features every quarter. It makes testing easier, managing the features in the event it goes wrong.
Enabling Dynamic Feature Management at Scale
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly provides fine-grained control over features and configurations, allowing us to make changes without the need for redeployments or causing downtime. This flexibility lets us experiment safely, introduce updates gradually, and address issues as they arise in real time. Thanks to local flag evaluation and minimal impact on performance, we can innovate more quickly while still ensuring system stability and delivering a great user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
While LaunchDarkly offers robust capabilities as a feature management platform, it can become challenging to handle as the number of flags and environments increases. Teams that are new to feature flagging may face a learning curve, and keeping flags well-organized demands consistent effort and discipline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us with feature management by enabling dynamic configuration updates. It allows us to enable or disable features and update configurations at runtime without requiring any pod restarts. All configuration rule evaluations happen locally, ensuring there is no additional latency overhead.
Effortless Flag Management with an Intuitive Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Creating and configuring a new flag is really easy ans straightforward, launchdarkly UI is very intuitive and easy to use. Sdk integration is also very easy and adding it in code is also very straightforward, we never faced any downtime
What do you dislike about the product?
Segments have a limit of 15000 which is low for one of our usecase
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature releasing is easier, its much easier to roll back any changes if we found any issue
Effortless Feature Gating and Experimentation
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly helps us to have feature gates and run experiments when shipping features
What do you dislike about the product?
It's quite easy to use and as an user, I dont have too much complaints
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Be able to launch a feature behind a feature gate so it's easy to measure the uplift and understand the performance
Effortless Feature Management with Outstanding Support
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is very easy to use and, in my opinion, stands out as the best feature flag solution available. The customer support is also excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license model could be improved, and I believe it would benefit from a review.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The features can be turned on or off with ease.
Effortless Feature Releases and Safer Deployments
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly lets us control when features go live without needing new deployments. We can release changes gradually, limit access to specific users, and quickly switch features off if something goes wrong. This has reduced production risk and made releases much safer and faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some settings feel more complex than they need to be
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly separates releasing features from deploying code. This allows us to test changes with small user groups, roll out safely, and quickly roll back if needed. It has improved system stability and reduced the impact of production issues.
Effortless Beta Testing with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate LaunchDarkly's ease of use, which makes it straightforward to work with. I also find targeting users for betas to be particularly effective, along with the customer support and the ability to flag beta features which enhance user testing, segmentation, and feature releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was easier to scroll down large lists of users to see submission buttons on large populations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for user testing and segmentation, feature release, and beta programs, which simplifies targeting users for betas.
Wouldn't want to do without it!
What do you like best about the product?
It is really hard to manage new features without it! I like the option to do client side vs. server side implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The LaunchDarkly context could be expanded upon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to roll features out for a select few users only.
