Effortless Feature Control with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I love how LaunchDarkly allows us to easily control new features by letting us deploy quickly with features behind flags, removing worries about causing issues in our production environment. It's great that I can also use it to selectively give access to specific users, whether for early beta testing or entitlement control. I really appreciate its quick and straightforward implementation. I can easily create a new flag, call that in the code, and use it to wrap features, plus the instant updates in the UI are fantastic, as I don't need to refresh. The LaunchDarkly extension in VSCode is also very useful for quickly toggling flags in dev environments. Setting up LaunchDarkly was pretty easy; I installed the launchdarkly-react-client-sdk and bootstrapped the LDProvider in our React app to use hooks for calling flag values.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UX around controlling the more in-depth configuration and variations on flags can feel a bit clunky or burdensome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly lets us deploy quickly with features behind flags, avoiding production issues. It provides selective access for beta testing and entitlement control, making feature management and user control effective.
Real-Time Flag Tracking and Evaluation That Delivers
What do you like best about the product?
I like the real time tracking of flags and their evaluation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the UI can be a bit non-intuitive at times. Especially when trying to navigate different environments or see flags that relate to the same features

We use LaunchDarkly for feature flagging. It allows us to roll out features more quickly and consistently
Effortless Integration, Superb Feature Flagging
What do you like best about the product?
I use LaunchDarkly every day for instrumentation, telemetry, and feature tracking, and I really appreciate how easy it is to integrate with various connections. I also like the feature flagging abilities, which allow us to ship more confidently by tracking what we are building is correct. The customer support is great, as it gives us the opportunity to ask questions whenever needed. The initial setup was fairly easy and seamless, which was a big help when switching from our previous platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think analytics and dashboarding is really clunky and underdeveloped
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Targeted Feature Releases with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that LaunchDarkly allows me to create segments of targeted accounts that I can edit and filter. I also like the option of choosing the specific accounts I want to be impacted by a new feature or announcement, and having this visibility for the rest of the team. It provides a way to release features to specific accounts with order and keeps track of these releases and changes. It also makes it easy to keep all the team aware of these nuances. Setting it up was easy since my company already had a workspace, and once I got the explanation from my colleagues on how things work, I was able to get it up and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have a strong technical background, so sometimes I don't find it as intuitive as it could be. I needed to be explained by colleagues how the platform works in order to be able to use it properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to release specific features to some accounts and add announcements. It keeps track of these releases, ensuring the team is aware of these changes.
Effortless Feature Management with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I find LaunchDarkly very beginner-friendly, which is great for easing the learning curve. Its low latency updates are extremely useful, especially when I need to instantly turn off a feature flag to disable faulty code, preventing issues with minimal delay. I also appreciate the full control it offers for A/B testing, allowing for detailed customization of how a feature looks to different users. The initial setup was very straightforward, and overall, LaunchDarkly serves me well with the analytics info it provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
One additional good feature would be to be able to see the full audit history trail of how a feature flag was changed over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for feature flags to enable or disable code changes instantly, avoiding redeployments. It abstracts CI/CD management, offers low latency for immediate fixes, and customizable AB testing. It's beginner-friendly and straightforward, replacing our hard-to-maintain in-house product.
Great Core Functionality for Toggling Test Experiences, Meh UI and Search
What do you like best about the product?
The core functionality is great: the ability to turn on/off various experiences we want to test with our users.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the UX a bit confusing sometimes, not sure where I'm supposed to find something. I also find the search ineffective. Sometimes I search for a user or segment or flag I know exists, but it doesn't come up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us the ability to turn on/off various experiences we want to test with our users. This lets us run beta tests, trial things to get feedback etc.
Easy-to-Use Feature Flags That Empower Our PMs
What do you like best about the product?
it's ease of use - being able to go on as a PM and utilise feature flags in an easy way is a huge win for us as a team. The implementation went as well as possible, probably the easiest tool to implement based off feedback from the engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
the onboarding process / tutorials are a bit lengthy when first logging in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly solves the problem of having to go to engineering for feature flag events. it saves a lot of time when testing and deploying features.
Effective Rollback and A/B Testing, Needs Better Role Management
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the rollback speed in LaunchDarkly. It allows me to instantly disable problematic features without the need to redeploy, which is super helpful. I also find the built-in support for running controlled A/B testing experiments and measuring feature impact to be really beneficial. Additionally, the initial setup of LaunchDarkly was pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the access management could be improved, especially when it comes to defining roles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly minimizes deployment risk by enabling code to be deployed with features off, then gradually enabling them. It offers fast rollback by instantly disabling problematic features without redeployment. It provides built-in support for A/B testing to measure feature impact.
Easy Feature Flag Management with Powerful Gradual Releases and A/B Testing
What do you like best about the product?
It allows to easily manage feature flags, including capabilities to do gradual releases in various ways, as well as do AB testing.
