It quickly helps to enable the certain features based on the feature flags which is great
What do you like best about the product?
We mainly use it for feature flags fo enable certain features on the relevant services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at the moment as most of the features that i have used are great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its solving major problem where we have to enable certain features on specific services at relevant time and with launch darkly its helping a lot.
Very User friendly config store
What do you like best about the product?
1. Ease of use
2. The insights/evaluation feature which lets us see which rule got hit how many times
3. Ease of Integration

What do you dislike about the product?
1. The only thing is lack of validation mechanism - Given its a UI which allows us to write free text, it would be better that we are also optionally allowed to guardrails/UT/any other mechanism that can avoid chances of manual mistakes
2. Some times the config we update becomes a huge json. Would like the editor/input text area to be be able to format/beautify the text as needed so it becomes more readable

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Config Store - We extensively use LD as our dynamic config store which can be updated anytime and changes reflect within seconds. This lets us launch and maintain softwares really easily
2. Feature flag - Again this is our primary usecase. We use LD to enable/disable a feature to facilitate its launch
3. Degradation Lever - Sometimes we need to disable features to mitigate ongoing issues or intentionally degrade features in case of duress

Senior level software engineer
What do you like best about the product?
You do not have to write rollout code and there is a UI available to use. Being able to toggle my env's differbntly and being able to rollout to a user or a percetage has been most useful for my team. I look forward to using other LD features and ppreciate that more features are coming.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing has been unhelpful but the simple fact that we are using a 3rd party adds compplexity if LD has any downtime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An out of the box solution for feature managment which benefits us b/c we do not need to spend dev time on it. Having analytics has also been beneficial.
Launch Darkly provides with real-time control over feature release but requires careful management
What do you like best about the product?
- Ease of adding new variation
- Real time changes to feature flags
- Real time changes to feature flags
What do you dislike about the product?
- learning curve is huge for new onboarding
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch darjly neatly provides for all configuration against a project like all environments that can be adjusted for their values. The new UI is super clean
Effective feature flagging and experimentation tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, enables controlled feature rollouts and experimentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI breaks when manually targeting over 10k users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to safely release new features, run experiments, and take risks without impacting the user experience, which speeds up decision-making and iterations.
Launch Darkly simplified the life of developers
What do you like best about the product?
- Availability of service is a big win for our P0 service.
- Use LaunchDarkly extensively, applying various combinations of custom rules provided.
- Easily able to integrate and implement rules.

What do you dislike about the product?
The new portal is not very user-friendly; things have changed quite a bit, and you have to look for where the variations are, etc. The older one was easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch Darkly assisted in activating features during runtime without needing a deployment to change the flag value. We are also using Launch Darkly for degradation levers, so in case of any panic scenario, we can enable/disable certain configurations accordingly.
It is very good to manage the things
What do you like best about the product?
Easily handle the things if feature flags
Easy to integration
Feature are useful frequenct

What do you dislike about the product?
UI could be better Sometime feel stuck in selecting the variations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launching the features in different country helping me to collect the things
Makes releasing changes a much easier and less stressful experience
What do you like best about the product?
Feature flags allow us to release new features much more quickly because we know we can enable/disable things at the click of a button. They're also hugely configurable so you can enable things for only a subset of users, calls, etc. We use LaunchDarkly basically every day!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only complaint I have is that they seem to redesign their site pretty frequently and that often comes with a short learning curve to get used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to enable/disable features and test new changes more easily.
LD Review From A QA Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
-I think the UI for turning on and off flags is intuitive.
-It is easy to know what environments the flag is off and on it
-Turning on and off a flag is easy
-It is easy to know what environments the flag is off and on it
-Turning on and off a flag is easy
What do you dislike about the product?
I do think that when I click on the flag, the history of who turned off the flag and when it was turned off should be more apparent. From a QA engineer's perspective, I need to know this information when triaging software defects.
I also think there should be a better way to toggle flags off and on in automated tests. We wrote our own function to do this, but it would be better from a UX perspective if you all created a cypress or playwright plugin.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing A/B tests. Turning off an on features easily when change is high impact
The favourite way to introduce new features on run time by enabling / disabling toggles from remote
What do you like best about the product?
It gives us flexibility to add new features without making them immediately live by adding toggle and keeping that toggle off in code
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can get a bit daunting to add conditions in the toggles. Mostly its a piece of cake though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We add new feature which we want to enable after some time but code is already pushed. So for that we can add a toggle from Launch darkly and integrate it in code to keep the feature off until triggered on from the LD dashboard.
