The premier product in Feature releasing
What do you like best about the product?
Before lunch, Stockley we had an in-house solution which required making calls to a server and changing data via HTTP post calls. LaunchDarkly quickly solved this issue by making a straightforward approach to our feature flagging solution. Furthermore, they add release support and new features very frequently.
What do you dislike about the product?
How disconnected the environments are I wish that there was an ace of use to set up a feature flag initially with preloaded features such as a template
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps an CI/CD pipeline and releasing directly to the client without affecting any existing work

Great software to manage Flags!
What do you like best about the product?
Great simple layout and UI which is easy for coders and IT to understand. Great permission break out
What do you dislike about the product?
More approval type tasks before activating a flag or such
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to manage our products flag and releases
Great tool for enabling features on production on the fly
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to navigate user interface
Quickly able to rollback features if production issues are found

What do you dislike about the product?
API docs can be developer friendly
Sometimes can be difficut to test in the code base. Mocks included in SDKs can make it easier to test

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to rollback new features when production issues are found
LaunchDarkly is essential for any QA department.
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly flags are a key part in testing and controlled role out of features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only difficulty I've experienced with LaunchDarkly is the learning curve. As someone with no coding experience navigation was difficult, but working with the program for a few days will give you the fundamentals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Certain accounts need access to a feature in production, without every user being able to interact/view the feature. Turning LD flags off/on in near instantanous, very helpful in QA testing.
LaunchDarkly: An Easy To Use Tool for Managing Feature Flags
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly is very easy to use; the UI is very intuitive, making it easy to configure different flags for our applications. I especially like the Variations section.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of how rules are set based off of order (i.e., if I'm creating a new rule for "cluster A" to set a value to true, but there was a separate rule that sets "cluster A, B, C" to false after, it would set the value to false).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us manage our feature flags.
Promising feature flag management with clear areas of improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Generally pretty reliable and easy enough to use for small number of flags and rules. I'm not familiar with other feature flag services but the general functionalities are enough to cover our use cases for the most part.
What do you dislike about the product?
Inability to "select" and copy text from rules is pretty annoying. The latest changes to the UI also seem unnecessary and actually detract from usability a bit. For instance, you can't "find and search" for an existing value of a rule as easily anymore if any sections are collapsed. Variations should also indicate if they are not in use by any rule for easy cleanup too (or have a last used date as well). I think others at the company are not impressed by the permission granularity as well - for instance inability for developers to rename or delete a flag that they're still working on without escalating to someone with higher perms, since it's been created in "prod" even if they're testing it in our development environment.
Search functionality for existing flag is a bit lacking, partial matches are not done well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Biggest problem LD is solving for us is how to deploy different variations to different groups.
Good A/B Testing Framework
What do you like best about the product?
Bunch of features for A/B testing, with multiple pipeline supported. Dev support (vscode extension) is also another bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. We don't use all the features offered. But for it's offering for A/B testing, control gate, it is sufficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slowly releasing feature behind a control gate. Targeting customers/audience for pilot.
Launchdarkly is easy to reason about and generally stable
What do you like best about the product?
Launchdarkly does not have many incidents in my experience, meaning that we are able to bake in feature flags with confidence in many of our systems. This enables us to test functionality, expose it to a subset of users, and generally control our rollsout more effectively.
We use Launchdarkly across a number of services in our stack for everything from rollout to dynamic configuration to feature gating. It is very easy to add launchdarkly to your stack.
I have never needed to reach out to customer support to resolve any problems so I can't speak to that dimension.

What do you dislike about the product?
Launchdarkly can have a bit of a clunky UI in some places (for instances, permissioning can be a bit confusing). This is not a major problem, but discoverability can be a bit difficult in the product itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly adds very easy ability to use stable feature flags in our services. This benefits testing and rollout greatly.
An convinced and easy method to control abilities across environments
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly facilitates seamless feature rollout, allowing teams to deploy updates with precision and control.
Its feature flagging system enables real-time monitoring and experimentation which is highly used in my team.

What do you dislike about the product?
One potential drawback of LaunchDarkly is the complexity that can arise when configuring feature flag rules, which may lead to confusion or misconfiguration, especially for less experienced users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly empowers you to introduce new features gradually by toggling feature flags, ensuring a smooth rollout without disrupting the user experience. Its feature flagging capabilities enable quick iteration and experimentation, allowing you to gather insights and refine new features based on real-time feedback.
works like a charm
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly excels at providing robust feature flagging capabilities which empower teams to control and roll out new features with incredible precision and safety. The platform's ability to segment and target specific user groups is particularly valuable, allowing for detailed, controlled testing and feature releases. The real-time updates without the need to redeploy code is a standout feature, facilitating a dynamic development environment that responds swiftly to the needs of the business and its users.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside of LaunchDarkly is the complexity of its pricing structure. It can be somewhat opaque and potentially expensive, especially for smaller teams or organizations just starting out with feature flags. The initial setup and learning curve can also be steep for teams without prior experience in feature management. While the documentation is thorough, the sheer number of features and options can be overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing Need for Hotfixes and Rollbacks. When bugs slip through into production, the traditional response often involves hotfixes or rollbacks, which can be disruptive and time-consuming. With LaunchDarkly, we can quickly disable a problematic feature using feature flags without redeploying the entire application. This not only reduces downtime but also minimizes the impact on users, improving overall service reliability.
