Launch it with an On/Off
What do you like best about the product?
The ease to put the code behind the toggle and enable/disable it as we require for different services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Feature wise I don't think of any downsides but business wise, it is a bit on the costlier side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When working a new feature, it easier to put that new feature behind a toggle and prevent that impacting the current code and easily deploy it when we feel like it.
Launchdarkly is a great tool
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly provides a feature to create project IDs and map feature flags to them. You can define feature flags across different environments (e.g., dev, int, prod) and utilize them within your project as needed.
This setup allows for flexible control over feature rollout and environment-specific behavior, making it easier to manage releases and test features safely.

Managing features with the help of feature flags in launch darkly
LaunchDarkly facilitating Agile development
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about LaunchDarkly is how easy it makes the feature flagging and gradual rollouts of features. It allows my team to work on multiple different features at the same time without worrying about risky deployments to production. I can push a new feature behind a flag and keep it OFF until the feature is ready to go live. I also liked how easy it was to integrate it with our existing codebase and tech stack. Really a game changer
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the main drawback which our team felt was the pricing plans. It felt a bit high especially considering for smaller teams. Also, sometimes the UI can be a bit confusing when handling a large number of flags in various different environment. It took a bit of time to get used to. But once we were familiar with it, it works well!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us stay agile and manage continuous releases. My team can work on multiple features at the same time without worrying about breaking the production, since every new feature sits safely behind a feature flag that’s turned OFF by default. This means we can merge code early and keep the main branch stable, while the development goes on for the feature. It also allows our QA team to handle automation scenarios. We can automate test suites for different features based on different sets of feature flag, this helps us in testing agile workflows. Overall, it reduces the deployment risks while helping us in our development cycle and increasing confidence in every production release.
Effortless Feature Management with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I love that LaunchDarkly is platform agnostic, making it compatible with multiple platforms, which is crucial as we expand our tech stack. The extensive SDK support demonstrates its capability over time and ensures that LaunchDarkly stays ahead, which is why I choose it over other options. I appreciate how it has improved our app release cycle, significantly reducing our delivery timeline from months to just a couple of weeks. The ability to control feature flags gives me more control over the release process, enhancing our operational efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that LaunchDarkly's support for custom fields is limited to only version numbers. It would be beneficial if it could support a 'Calvary version' or other customizable naming conventions, as different teams have their own methods for app releases. This would add flexibility to accommodate various nomenclature used across teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to release apps without impacting features, improving delivery timelines from months to weeks, and enabling feature control across versions.
Great platform that works with nearly every language or framework
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly enables my team to decouple our releases from physical deployments giving us more flexibility in our ways of working. We utilize flags for simple toggles and context aware flags for tailored functionally for the user.
What do you dislike about the product?
Licensing per seat is a little frustrating. We are constantly checking who still needs access to the product so we have enough seats available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enabling features when needed and not just when we deploy.
Scheduled flag changes are amazing.
Easy to use admin dashboard that requires no coding experience.
SSO integration with product.

Probably the best tool in the industry
What do you like best about the product?
I am almost a daily user and it's definitely a critical tool at this point; it's the second company I work at that uses LaunchDarkly.
It's a very flexible and user-friendly tool (when setup correctly).
The setup is quite straightforward, but also depends on the time and ambition we, users, devote to it.
I also appreciate some of the simpler integrations like Slack which make a feature flag link appear as a rich content, giving context on the flag. Saves us a lot of back and forth just by having that auto-populated in slack conversations.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can get expensive, specially when we talk about individual licenses, and the lower tiers have a lot of limitations that can make controlled rollouts / betas a bit painful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to continuously deliver product to production and still decide when to enable it/sync with Marketing etc. We are also able to elegantly control betas/canary releases, gather feedback, and rollback quickly if the feedback is not as expected.
Best Developer Experience with Being Able to Deploy on Friday
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly's user experience is unmatched. You can tell they understand the developer persona very well. From the layout of the documentation to the user flow within the console and the elegance of the command line, this is one of the few tools I feel is designed and written by developers FOR developers.
LaunchDarkly's smooth experience begins the moment I self-sign up. It's a straightforward process to start building, and the sales process is hassle-free. While I may not be the biggest volume customer, the onboarding emails have been helpful and informative without pushing me to try features or functions I don't need. Simple, helpful onboarding content goes a long way.
In under 15 minutes, I was up and running with my first feature flag and testing some code.
In short, LaunchDarkly is one of the best tools ever created because I can't imagine using anything else at this point.

There is really nothing to dislike.
Well, except they need to free Toggle.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing code changes before we put them into production has reduced our time to resolution by 25%,
Used LaunchDarkly for forced updates, rollbacks, module control, A/B tests,ensuring smooth releases.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about LaunchDarkly is how it makes managing features simple and safe. It lets us test new features with a small group of users before a full release, which helps catch issues early. If something goes wrong, we can quickly turn off or roll back features without needing to redeploy the app. The ability to enable or disable modules for specific users gives us great control and flexibility and implementation and integration through SDK is really easy. I had really good experiance with React native SDK.
Another great feature is its multi-environment support. We can manage feature flags separately across different environments like development, staging, and production. This means we can safely test changes in non-production environments without affecting real users and then easily promote features to production when ready.
Overall, LaunchDarkly helps us deliver updates smoothly and improves the experience for our users.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few things that can be challenging. The cost can add up quickly, especially if you have many feature flags or multiple environments. Managing a large number of flags in the dashboard can sometimes feel a bit clunky and overwhelming, with limited bulk-edit options. Also, the permission system could be more flexible for larger teams. For new users, setting up and learning the platform can take some time because of its complexity.
Overall, these points are manageable, but they can require extra effort when scaling or onboarding new team members.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using LaunchDarkly, we often faced challenges with releasing new features safely and handling critical issues quickly. If a bug was found after deployment, rolling back a feature was complicated and caused disruption for the users. We also struggled to enable or disable specific modules dynamically, and conducting A/B testing was cumbersome and risky without affecting the entire user base.
With LaunchDarkly, everything changed for the better. We now use it to enforce in-app forced updates to make sure users are always on the latest, safest version. When a critical problem arises, we can roll back an entire feature instantly, avoiding customer impact and downtime. The ability to enable or disable modules on demand has given us the flexibility to respond quickly to changing requirements and optimize our app’s performance. Our A/B testing process has become more reliable and controlled, allowing us to make data-driven decisions without interrupting the user experience.
Thanks to LaunchDarkly, we deliver software updates smoothly, reduce risks on releases, and maintain a high-quality experience for our users even when facing critical issues. It has become an essential part of our development and release workflow.

Highly Customizable, Eases Feature Management
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how customizable LaunchDarkly is. I use features allowing me to create variations based on specific contexts, such as Google auth IDs. This customization simplifies how flags are evaluated, making it incredibly useful for tailoring feature access to specific users. The ability to limit access to certain features for user testing before public release is valuable for refining our product. Overall, the ease of setup and implementation, thanks to pre-established patterns by my team, is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the lack of type safety when trying to evaluate a flag in TypeScript a bit challenging. It's possible that this feature exists, but I'm not aware of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to release new features to selected users, gather feedback, and refine before public release. Customization based on specific contexts, like Google auth IDs, is especially beneficial.
Streamlined Feature Management with Some Downtime Challenges
