Streamlined Feature Flag Management with Comprehensive Docs
What do you like best about the product?
I really liked that the documentation was great with LaunchDarkly. I had to implement a custom flag based on database values and the examples and docs helped me accomplish this without prior experience with LaunchDarkly. I also found the setup and configuration that I did to be straightforward. Additionally, the platform made easier the tasks we previously handled with database settings and internal tool configurations. For more common tasks, it looks pretty easy to use from the UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to dig a bit in the docs to find what I needed. I also leveraged AI to find others who had done similar tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to enable features on an account basis and effortlessly toggle features on or off. It simplifies our previous process, which relied on database settings and internal configurations.
Safe, Targeted Rollouts with Clear UI and Audit History
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to roll out changes safely, targeting specific users, doing gradual rollouts, and instantly rolling back if something looks off. The UI is clear and the audit/history makes it easy to track what changed and why.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can feel a bit complex at first especially with lots of flags and rules and it’s easy for flags to pile up if you don’t stay on top of cleanup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us ship changes more safely by separating releases from deployments. We can roll out features gradually, target specific users/segments, and quickly turn things off if there’s an issue so we reduce risk, move faster, and troubleshoot incidents without rushing hotfix deployments.
Custom Attributes Are a Game-Changer for Flexible Flag Control
What do you like best about the product?
Custom attributes for me personally is a game changer, as it allows us to control flags based on a range of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI/UX experience is not the best. It can be quite confusing to get started with LD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us it's making it possible to deploy often without worrying about breaking the user experience.
Enhanced Feature Control with User-Friendly Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that LaunchDarkly offers a better UX compared to Taplytics, both in the SDK and the dashboard. I particularly like that when editing a flag, the change does not apply until I click 'save changes.' Taplytics, about 2 years ago, didn't have that feature and would apply my changes as soon as I made them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think UX can be improved in managing many feature flags in an experiment. I don't think I can intuitively understand what experiment (a feature flag parent or group) this current feature flag I'm looking at is grouped with. With multiple feature flags being turned on, I would love to be able to see a diagram or graph that shows the entire branches of what flags we have set up and its traffic status.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to control features and experiments, solving feature experimentation and monitoring usage stats for each feature flag.
Essential Tool for Granular Feature Management
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is how flexible and precise it is with feature gating. I use it to control access to different parts of our platform, and it’s easy to target features by individual users, email domains, or specific groups. That level of control lets us roll out changes safely, test things with the right audiences, and avoid unnecessary risk. It’s become a really valuable part of how we ship and manage features, and I’d absolutely recommend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn’t much I dislike about LaunchDarkly. Like any tool, it can take some time to fully understand and use all of its capabilities, but once you’re familiar with it, it works very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us avoid all-or-nothing releases. We use it for granular feature gating so we can control who sees what and roll features out gradually instead of flipping a big switch for everyone. That makes releases safer, reduces risk, and gives us more control over how changes reach users.
Good SDK, Easy Adoption—But Limited Seats on our plan cause friction
What do you like best about the product?
The SDK is top-notch. Adopting LaunchDarkly was easy across the entire stack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having limited user seats in the organisation means we can't have the entire product and development team and update flags with ease.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature management. We mainly need a simple way to control who can see new features, without having to build and maintain our own solution for it.
Effortless Feature Management with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can just go into the LaunchDarkly dashboard and flip a switch for one of the flags we have, and it instantly goes into the application. The initial setup was pretty straightforward; we just followed the documentation from LaunchDarkly, and we didn't have any issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say clearer documentation around the JS client-side SDK. Sometimes you find it challenging. It's hard to find what I need in the docs. So that's the only thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly lets me deploy our code base and hide incomplete features behind feature flags, so they don't show in production.
Truly reliable feature flagging that takes the stress out of deployments.
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve used several tools in this space, but LaunchDarkly stands out because of its absolute consistency. In our team, we rely on the high availability and accuracy of their SDKs; when we toggle a flag, it works instantly without any "flicker" or delay. The platform is very smooth to navigate, which makes it easy to manage multiple environments. It’s one of the few tools in our stack where everything just works exactly as it’s supposed to, every time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there isn't much to complain about. If I had to pick something, the pricing model is definitely on the enterprise side, so you have to be mindful of your seats as your team grows. But given the uptime and accuracy we get in return, the value is clearly there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has completely changed how we handle releases. We no longer have to do "big bang" deployments at midnight. We can push code to production behind a flag and then roll it out to 1% or 5% of users during normal business hours. This has made our release cycle much more stable and has significantly reduced the risk of production outages.
Intuitive and User-Friendly with Effortless Flow Chart Design
What do you like best about the product?
Its very straightforward, easy to use, and formatted in a way that makes sense. The flow chart style is really easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel like the search functionality could be better. I sometimes find that I need to search exactly the write words to get the right flag to come up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly makes it easy for us to control what users can use which features. It also helps us to keep things just for Dev before public release.
Effortless Feature Rollouts with Handy UI
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the UI of LaunchDarkly, which is kind of easy to understand without having to read a manual, although some exploration and guides can be helpful. I like how LaunchDarkly allows us to roll out features to specific clients, using key attributes like ID or country, and even lets us filter hundreds of IDs in a segment. This makes it much easier compared to doing it manually in the codebase or with a database. Having a UI to manage features definitely makes things easier for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I'm not mistaken, once I set the key name for a feature, it cannot be changed. I shouldn't reuse the same key name as it will confuse future team members including me. I need to create a different feature to have a new key name.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to roll out new features without breaking production and to customize user experiences. It makes dividing user pools into different experiences easy, avoiding codebase and database manual work, and lets me target specific clients accurately.
