As a Platform Engineer, I see the capabilities of launch darkly.

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The sequential deiscion making is the best option. The Segementations is very well designed. The idea of spilitting feature Flags for different projects is really great as well.

The Youtube training are very powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ui is laggy and takes a bit of time to load.

So one thing I can give a feedback is when we like to make a Rule then there is no `equal` operator. We had to use `is one of` as a replacement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hiding new features also continuos delivery puposes.

Release != Launch

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Launch Darkly adoption has been critical in our org's ability to decouple release from launch as we inch closer to CI/CD. By slowly, safely, and iteratively introducing our new user experiences to customers we can immediately get feedback, roll back if needed before a large % of user base is impacted, leverage A/B experiments and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if there was an easier way to clean up old Feature Flags
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing in producion, getting user feedback early and often, and limiting the blast radius if there are issues

Reliable for feature flag management

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All you need is an SDK key and it just works, your client can download all the feature flags it needs. Getting the flag values is quick and updates are done in a streaming fashion instead of having to download them all at once. Flag changes propagate extremely quickly and initialization often only takes a second or so at the beginning, depending on your flag payload. Pretty easy to get started in your codebase too, they have a lot of SDKs in different languages.

We use it very often for rolling out features. You can return many types of data from the flag as well, integers, strings, list of strings, etc.

Customer support is OK, we get responses within a day usually when we have issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see any role based access control for launchdarkly. Having just one SDK key to read flags doesn't seem that great, we would like to have more with granular permissions per sdk key. Maybe that's a weakness of our particular usecase, but I don't recall seeing RBAC permissions on launchdarkly.

It's pretty easy for flags to go unused and unnoticed too, taking up space. Would be nicer to know when flags can be removed or define rules to arhive flags if they haven't been evaluated for a long time or something like that.

The UI can be pretty clunky when adding lots of values. And I don't think they have an SDK to write to LD, they only have one to read flag values, which has been a big limiter in the past, especially when you have so many flag values that the UI is slow to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to be able to rollout features and configure our software dynamically without a redeployment. Launchdarkly allows us to dynamically change values in our code and immediately see the results. This has let us deploy much much faster and be more confident when we do deploy that if there's an issue we will be able to quickly rectify it.

Launch Darkly: A Great Product but at a premium price

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Launch Darkly is incredibly easy to deploy feature flags and target them to certain users. Their developers do a great job with abstracting all the details away from the developer and their statistics are incredibly helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
All of these come at the expense of actually paying for a license per user. The best features of this product are only most accessible when each person on the team has a licence. That is often hard at a large corporate scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch Darkly is great at controlling the exact time of release and enables us to have conversations with our users on what time is best to release independent of our deploy time.

A solid tool that has helped simplify flag management for us

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that we can have array flags so that we can push IDs into it to deploy functionality to specific customers. Also, the Go SDK makes integration a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if the SDK allowed for default configs so that we don't have to wrap our LD provider to handle situations where we fail a call to LD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The two main things we use LD for are managing our feature flags and doing staged rollouts to specific user cohorts. LD shines in both cases and has simplified our workflows here.

Easy to use and has many very useful features

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dynamic configuration, based on user, server, etc is very useful to rollout new features.
Dynamic configuration, based % rollout helps in ramp up new API
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about LaunchDarkly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly is very useful in new feature rollout, new API ramp up ETC.

A great tool to use for on-the-fly feature testing!

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease-of-use in integrating new feature flags. There are many applications I have been able to use with this so far, and I look forward to expanding our imlpementation of additional features in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
Switching between environments does not change anything between the feature flags set on each environment. Just not really a necessary feature to have. This may be something that needs some tweaking with the administrators in my organization, but this is the main feature that stands out as something that is not adding any value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enabling and disabling features on-the-fly without requiring deployments or image restarts to adjust any configuration files.

Generally reliable, scalable controls, and support has been great

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up new flags, and integrate with provided SDK

Scalable management of controls using segments and plenty of useful features for management of long-running vs temporary flags
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes hard to diagnose when LD flag service has gone down or is faulty, with provided SDK, and we've often only discovered an issue when the SDK started serving the default flags (which have often been not well thought-out placeholder values, leading to undesirable experiences for customers)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of the above?

    Information Technology and Services

LaunchDarkly is a very handy tool for feature flagging and experimantation

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Easy to create feature flags in different environments
2. The feature flags can be configured differently in each environment
3. Segment is very useful
4. SDK is easy to use
5. Performance is exellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. At the beginning, the relationship between projects and roles was unclear.
2. Cannot filter contexts/users by the evaluation results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Running A/B testing to find the better solution to improve user expierence
2. Building new features behind a feature flag, so we can still merge code to main branch and deploy to production without impact on customers.
