LaunchDarkly Makes Feature Flag Management Fast, Easy, and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly makes it easy to create and manage feature flags. When creating a new feature flag, it is created and configured across all of our environments at the same time. We regularly create different rules in each environment that control who sees which value of each flag--it's very easy to see and manage the rules. We have even utilized the LaunchDarkly API to allow our customers to opt-in or opt-out of specific flags so they can try new features--it's fantastic! I'm amazed at how quickly feature flag changes propagate--if I have 3 tabs open to the same site, changing the feature flag value in one results in all three being updated within a few seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using the UI is very straightforward. I was at a bit of a loss at figuring out how to integrate with the LaunchDarkly AP--I've never used an API quite like this before--but thankfully my AI assistant was able to handle it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly is giving us the flexibility we need to have multiple teams working independently on a single large codebase to create features that can be deployed to the production server but not released to customers until we're ready. It's even giving us the ability to allow our customers to opt-in to in-progress experiences so we can get early feedback. The fact that the feature flags are "live" and don't require a recompile or redeploy is wonderful! The same feature flags are available to our front-end code as well as our back-end code, so we can completely control the availability of a feature.
Easier Feature Flag Management That Boosts Confidence in PROD
What do you like best about the product?
Feature flag management has become much easier, and it definitely gives us more confidence to enable products in PROD, knowing it will be easy for us to roll back if any unexpected outcome comes up along the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup for flagging individual users is hard to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We go live with security so we can be sure the functionality is in good shape before enabling a feature for someone, and so we can manage product access properly.
Intuitive Interface, Flexible Feature Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love that LaunchDarkly lets us control access to new features and roll them out at whatever pace and to whatever audience we want. I really appreciate the good interface, which is intuitive and simple to use, as it means I don't have to waste time figuring out the interface or learning code to control feature flags as a product manager. I also find that the search functionality works well despite having many feature flags.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes finding feature flags can be hard as we have so many.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly lets us control access to new features and roll them out at our own pace. Its intuitive interface saves time, allowing me to manage feature flags efficiently without needing to learn code as a product manager.
Easy and Reliable Feature Control
What do you like best about the product?
I like LaunchDarkly for its ease of use and the agility it provides for continuous delivery, allowing me to quickly revert to a stable version if any issues arise. I also appreciate the real-time listeners that save us from constantly checking the flags and allow us to receive updates and respond faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my A/B testing, LaunchDarkly does not provide us with user segmentation. It would be very helpful to know which already identified users are being assigned each value and to be able to extract more precise metrics. It would be very useful to know which flag value is assigned to each device; it could be a custom ID in case the user is not identified, but if the user is identified, it would be good to have that information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to control experimental features, reverting to safe versions if there are errors. It gives us agility in continuous delivery and confidence to revert to a stable version. Additionally, I like its ease of use and the real-time listeners that allow us to respond quickly to changes.

Flexible Feature Flags and Target Segments That Streamline Mobile Releases
What do you like best about the product?
LD's Feature Flag tools are so flexible and handle every situation that I encounter in my role as a PM of mobile apps. We regularly release new features behind a flag and use target segments to give select customers early access to beta test and provide feedback before full rollouts. Those segments can be used for multiple FFs, making it very convenient when managing multiple flags for android/iOS/etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only pain point I have right now is enforcement of rules around describing exactly how a given FF works. When managing flags that predate my time working on the app I have to go digging to confirm exactly how they are working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LD helps hugely in feature rollouts, especially as we often develop features for one platform before another but roll them out at the same time. I haven't yet hit a limit on our workflows thanks to the flexibility.
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.
Screen Recordings Make Debugging Complex TypeScript Apps Effortless
What do you like best about the product?
It lets me watch a recording of the user’s screen while they’re using my app, so I can pinpoint the exact issue and understand whether it was user error or an actual system problem. For example, my app is a TypeScript app with lots of different features—AI integration, plenty of chat in the UI, 3D rendering, and other things that are hard to troubleshoot using only the console.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it breaks when the session is really long and has a lot of logs. It gets the memory usage of my chrome tab really high and it just break causing an OOM issue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets me view user sessions easily and follow the execution timeline. It also integrates with Slack, which helps me get answers faster. The AI feature is useful for understanding issues that might otherwise feel ambiguous.
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
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use LaunchDarkly for feature flagging. It allows us to roll out features more quickly and consistently
Easy to Use with Strong Environment Management and a Consistent 2PR Review Process
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Ability to manage by environments and the review process to ensure 2PR is always followed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Intelligence in identifying duplicate or related rules and simplifying them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature roll outs by customer, region, organization or environment.
