Effortless Feature Rollouts & Easy Configuration
What do you like best about the product?
I like the easy setup and configuration of LaunchDarkly. The dashboard makes it simple to set up flags that can be used in software systems with the chosen SDK, like Python. The UI dashboard also allows for monitoring of the flags and their usage. The option to rollback changes easily by toggling LaunchDarkly flags is very useful. The initial setup was easy thanks to the self-explanatory docs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that instead of having a binary true or false for flags, the flags should have the options to take a continuous range of values. This has specific use cases and currently this may be possible but probably requires some setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for gradual rollout of product features. It provides easy rollback of changes through toggling flags. The setup and configuration are easy, and the dashboard allows monitoring and using flags with SDKs like Python.
Good Feature Flags, but Loading Flicker Needs a Real Fix
What do you like best about the product?
Feature flags are good and managing them is easier than before.
What do you dislike about the product?
With Launchdarkly in our app sometimes we're getting a loading flicker that has been hard to manage. Recently we've been implementing a work around with a set time out but we should not rely on that for too long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launchdarkly helps by managing all our feature flags to help turn on and off our features and releasing to select audiences. This helps us to also preview how certain features are doing etc.
Scalable, Confident Rollouts with Feature Flags
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly has been critical for provisioning and managing access to a beta program at scale. It allows us to selectively enable features for specific customer cohorts without manual work or separate environments. This makes it much easier to run a structured beta, gather feedback safely, and iterate without impacting our broader customer base.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s an initial learning curve when setting up flags and defining targeting rules, especially if multiple teams are involved. Clear ownership and documentation are important to get the most out of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly solves the challenge of safely rolling out beta features to a subset of customers while maintaining control and flexibility. It enables us to quickly grant or revoke access, experiment with different cohorts, and expand the beta confidently as we learn. This has significantly reduced risk and made our beta program much more scalable and effective.
Great segment customization, but needs better syncing with external tools
What do you like best about the product?
Customization across segments and features
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to sync with other sources like retool etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enabling features for select audiences
Phased gradual roll out of features

Excellent Release Control for Confident Launches
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly provides excellent control throughout the release process, making it easier to manage and adjust releases with confidence.
What do you dislike about the product?
The API documentation could have been better, especially when it comes to setting up LD flags at scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During a new feature release, the confidence LaunchDarkly provides is unparalleled. I can choose to roll out a specific feature to a set of users, companies, or segments, which makes it great for controlled feature rollouts and production testing without having to worry as much about customer concerns.
Empowers Feature Management with Easy Configuration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that LaunchDarkly is very configurable, allowing me to set values for feature flags across different environments like dev, QA, staging, and production etc. It also lets me configure various parameters that our UI or API works on, making it flexible. I appreciate that it can handle not just true or false values but also return string values and lists, which I find beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this moment, I think there is no external APIs allowed by LaunchDarkly to show the feature flag values. So our organization planned to build an internal app or page to let product managers and others see the feature flags and their values without giving everyone access to LaunchDarkly. We couldn't find an external API that supports this, as LaunchDarkly doesn't expose the endpoint for flag names and values. I think it is a limitation for my organisation's requirement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for feature flags, enabling my team to ship new features safely. It lets us turn features on or off to prevent customers from encountering defective products, and supports both Boolean, string and list values for robust API and UI functionality.
Love the UI: Clean, Intuitive, and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very good and convenient. It feels like Git, but for configuration changes, which makes it really convenient to use
What do you dislike about the product?
I receive emails about every change, and I feel the review group is too broad
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems it solves for me are mainly being able to change configuration without any code changes, and being able to see which feature flags are enabled for each organization.
Granular Targeting with Improved Feature Control
What do you like best about the product?
I like the granular targeting capabilities of LaunchDarkly. Using custom rich contexts helps us to specifically target users not only by their user and tenant but by other non-trivial properties that we collect on the endpoint. This feature is incredibly valuable for rolling out feature flags and configuration for sensitive features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the lack of crypto-signature support in LaunchDarkly. I would appreciate a feature allowing the signing of feature flag responses, either BYOK or signing with a LaunchDarkly private key.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for the rollout of feature flags and configuration for sensitive features. It helps us manage feature exposure to different customers based on their novelty appetite and serves as a kill switch during disasters. The granular targeting with custom rich contexts is particularly valuable.
Time-Saving Feature Management with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to integrate LaunchDarkly into our app, even in a complex enterprise Angular application. The straightforward implementation and creation of new feature flags save us a lot of time and effort, allowing new feature flags to be created in just minutes. I appreciate the well-designed dashboard, offering plenty of metrics to evaluate statistics for each flag. It's clear to see the state of each flag at any given time, which helps avoid mistakes. The organization of the dashboard into projects makes it easy to manage a large number of flags. What I like most is the rapid toggling response; changes reflect in the app in just 3-5 seconds after saving. We've also had a smooth experience with no server downtime during tests. I first heard about LaunchDarkly from a teammate and found it to be incredibly likable from the start. The initial setup was straightforward, and with just a Confluence article and a short call, we had it fully integrated in under two days. I rate it a 10 for its time-saving feature flagging and other capabilities, even those I haven't explored yet.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that comes to my mind is to improve the possibility to completely get rid of feature flags created by mistake. I've only found the options to archive or deprecate it. But in some projects could be dozens of flags, and not necessarily all of the are required... so it would be nice to be able to delete them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to control access and visibility of features without redeploying, which saves time. It allows almost real-time changes to feature flags, eliminating the need for backend development or hardcoding values.
Effortless Feature Management, Needs Better Slack Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like using LaunchDarkly because it's easy to use, fast, and cool. It helps me open features for specific customers based on a particular timeframe or need. I appreciate picking a group or audience using a UUID to identify accounts and then enabling the relevant flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Slack integration was better, and I could ask directly from there using AI. If I can tell the LD bot on Slack to open a feature flag for a customer, and it would find the UUID and do it for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps me open features for certain customers at specific times. I can pick a group using UUIDs and enable the necessary flags easily and quickly.
