Great Idea, But Very Targeted
What do you like best about the product?
Launch Darkly has a great idea in working "flags" to hide feature code for deployment and A/B testing in specific environments. Their interface is easy to use and the documentation is easy enough to follow. Their system is robust enough to handle several hundred calls per second from a very large company with minumal lag in connection times. Their server up-time has been almost perfect with the exception of one hour of downtime over a year+ of use. The code SDK implementation was smooth and supports all major programming languages. Both the C# API and Angular UI are capable of connecting to the server and retreiving data. Their customer support is impressive in their willingness to communicate and accept input.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial concept, a turn-key options management system, is a great idea, but the implementation is more simple than the initial concept would indicate. The service is capable of only delivering a hard-coded string value based on a true-false flag set in the interface. To be complete, LauchDarkly should be able to do minor calculations, such as determine if a given date or bumber falls before, after or in between a set. or if a value is contained within a specific collection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do not have to create our own methods to support A/B testing or feature management.
LaunchDarkly is easy to use and user friendly app
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to find feature flag by environments and turn on an off
What do you dislike about the product?
The feature flag is not sorted by alphabetical
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing our feature flags
Does exactly what you expect it to do
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. It's reliable which is exactly what you need from a feature flag management solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. It does what you ecpect it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LD allows us to ship WIP code behind feature flags, making feature releases simple and predictable. It also gives PM control over who gets access to new features when.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently only ease of feature management by making feature flags easy to create, audit, and change.
LD has proven to be an invaluable tool for our development and release management processes
What do you like best about the product?
The real-time monitoring features are exceptional. Being able to track the performance of feature flags and their impact on user experience has been instrumental in making data-driven decisions during deployment.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the platform is generally user-friendly, there is a slight learning curve for new users. A more comprehensive onboarding guide could be beneficial.

Amazing feature set; the outage raises reliability issues
What do you like best about the product?
Feature flagging and experimentations have been a core part of my work flow, and I have really enjoyed utilizing LaunchDarkly's suite of controlled rollout tools.
The SDKs for Node and React have been excellent as well, and I can't recall ever running into issues with them.

What do you dislike about the product?
The outage a few weeks ago raises serious concerns about reliablity. Strong SLA metrics are absolutely essiential for an app like this so LaunchDarkly needs to ensure this doesn't happen again; it's horrifying to think of us not being able to shut off a feature with a p0 bug because our flag provider is down.
I also don't like that you have to enable a flag before running an experiment; it seems unintuitive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Adding failsafes and granularity to feature rollouts. As a larger product, we need to experiment and ensure our features are effective and robust; we also need the ability to shut off larger functionalities if things go wrong. This mantains the integrity of our product.
Worry free releases
What do you like best about the product?
the ability to rollback new features without rolling back the code
What do you dislike about the product?
can be hard sometimes to figure out how to debug / target specific users
had one outage that proved difficult to manage

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
launchdarkly gives us piece of mind with testing backend rewrites, we dont have to rollback a release if theres a serious issue and we can also release during riskier periods and then wait to turn on the flag
Very Happy for Switching to LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like how responsive the UI/UX is, it is very easy to use and implement in our code base. It also allows for some granularity where we can set up feature flags as booleans however it would be nice to be able to enable based on certain values of strings via a context param for that feature flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to be able to enable feature flags based on certain values of strings via a context param. I think it could provide easier integration within our system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LauchDarkly allows us to enable feature flags during work hours and it provides instanteous enablement of features without the user needing to refresh. This is very crucial for us as users usually do not refresh or sign out and sign in very often due to the nature of our system and async step up.
LaunchDarkly is an easy to use tool for having flags toggled and reflected in real-time
What do you like best about the product?
- It's easy to use
- It's simple UI
- Easy to manage
- Integrating it is simple from frontend and backend. Can get started in minutes.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Toggling a number of flags in multiple environments can be a bit tedious
- Comparing more than two environments (can't see all)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to toggle on and off features for demoing purposes.
