The best feature flagging tool available
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly is simply the best feature flagging tool.
The integration from a service and application perspective, is super lightweight and very DevOps focused.
Configuring new flags, tracking the life-cycle of a flag, auditing, etc and just a breath of fresh air

What do you dislike about the product?
LaunchDarkly for larger development teams can be expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used LaunchDarkly to help us move from multiple internal tools, with limited feature sets, and limited visability. We now have a single place to understand how all our services and frontend systems are configured to run.
Further it has helped us to move to move complete trunk based development

Enables continuous deployment
What do you like best about the product?
We can place new features behind feature flags and continually push to production without fear of new features causing errors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The maintenance of cleaning up old feature flags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can allow internal users test the new features before releasing it to the general public.
Not sure how we could ever go without it now.
What do you like best about the product?
It is no understatement that Launch Darkly has changed how we build, test, and deploy functionality.
When we first demo'd it to our team, it "just worked". It was like magic.
Our team can try new things, turn them on, and then rollback if necessary. Or we can build new bits of functionality and test them for individuals easily. You can use it as a killswitch, as a development tool, or even, in a pinch to do content modifications or a one-off permission test. We don't have to wait for something to be 100% finished. We can hide it behind a flag and then come back later.
It was super easy to add to all of our front-end and back-end systems (PHP, JavaScript). While the conversion from Users to Contexts was a little confusing at first, once we made the migration, it actually made a lot of sense. The rules systems and custom attributes make it easy to target individuals or groups. We can turn something on for a group or a subset of users really easily.
The administrative UI is great. We can get questions really easily about who sees what and why, looking at evaluations happening in real time, etc.
When there are problems or questions about what fields are in what values, the historical log of changes in the UI have been a god-send. "When did this change?" is always something we can answer. Who changed it, when, and (usually) why is recorded in the historical log.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only real downside we've encountered is the lack of a true Angular integration. There are options out there, but we had to tweak and modify to make it work well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to launch smaller features more quickly and with more confidence. We can use it to deploy stuff that isn't quite ready but we still want to be able to get feedback in production. Or we can just enable it for a group of testing users.
Best Tool to Have in Your Toolbox!
What do you like best about the product?
LD is Easy, Practical and Functional All At The Same Time. You MUST have this at reach to help in you daily tasks, even if you're not a programer you are abke to create Complex Integrations with almost Any Softeare Out There creatong functional implementations esasyly. I use it ALMOST DAILY and our DEV Team surely uses it more frequently than me. Customer Support is easily at reaach and always respond fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing... For Me Is PERFECT! I ALWAYS get the funtionality with a pair of mouse clicks thanks to the solid contruction of LD that let our Dev teams to build easy to use intgations and soft lauches of new functionalities of our software witth an easy to use interfase for us the final non technical users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Dev Team uses LD to create integrations and to launch updates in a fully controlled pace with no interruptions in operation of our software keeping availability 100% 24/7
Successfully controlled multiple FFs in my app
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use - just create FF and swith targeting + possibility to use precise targeting with rules usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Stale flag state after 90 days not always enough to rollout the feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can easily rollout new features without any fear of failure as I can killswitch any feature with just one button
Helps a lot
What do you like best about the product?
You can work in a feature hidden behind a flag for an entire week or month, push the code changes/additions to Production, it won't be available, not until you turn the flag ON, changes are accessible right at the moment.
If something went wrong, you can still rollback the feature (or hide it) just by turning it back to OFF.

What do you dislike about the product?
Works just fine, don't have any issues at the moment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to safely launch your code and features to production, main benefit is that you could rollback at any moment.
Break release bottlenecks with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
Feature flags with fine grained context controls help us experiment with new logic and avoid bottlenecks in our release cadence. We use contexts for tracked assets, devices, users, and organisations allowing us to rapidly run experiments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive per seat, but worth the cost especially for small teams. The LD proxy relay for backend support can take some time to launch and configure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to continuously release with features in development behind flags. This streamlines our team's development workflow and allows us to incrementally release new features to our user base and mitigate risks associated with a big bang rollout. We also use it for running experiments leveraging contexts. We have an IoT product and the flexibility to use contexts beyond users lets us apply conditional logic at a device or asset level.
Easy feature controls
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to control our feature list and extrapolate when someone is able to see a feature.
Easy to roll a feature back if a major issue appears and we're able to quickly implement new feature flags.
We integrated the library without issue.
Customer service was quick to respond on the rare occasion that we needed to reach out to them.

What do you dislike about the product?
N/A, we have had no issues with using LaunchDarkly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to enable non-developers to take control of features for customers. Other services include targeted user testing, rollback of features and stagger releases if required.
Feature Packed and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly has always been easy to integrate into our code and comes with powerful features that makes it effortless for us to roll out new features. Their SDKs make implimentation a breeze and their customer support is always helfpul whenever we have an issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the product grows, the admin interface gets a bit more complex. LaunchDarkly has a lot fo features so the adnim interface needs a lot of options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We replaced Google Optimize with LaunchDarkly for AB testing and it's been smooth. We also hide new features behind feature flags until they're ready to go live. This allow our code to be in production, even when it's incomplete. Once the feature is completed, we enable the feature flag and everything is live.
