LaunchDarkly

What do you like best about the product?

I like using LaunchDarkly for gradual rollouts of features, as it eliminates the need for feature flags in the code and redeploying for changes. The web app is easy to use, and I find the SDK easy to implement inside my code.

What do you dislike about the product?

It’s fine, no issues with it.
No ai or good documentation really

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

LaunchDarkly lets me do gradual rollouts of features without needing feature flags in the code or new deployments for changes.

What do you like best about the product?

I think the UI is pretty intuitive and navigatable

What do you dislike about the product?

I think its sometimes a bit hard to know what are the right permissions that I should request for my team. This means we may request more permissions than needed and get pinged for more requests than necessary. Also the launchdarkly outage recently was frustrating since it required cluster restarts in order to refresh cached flag values

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Launchdarkly offers us feature flags so that we can quickly turn off or on features in environments without a re-deploy

What do you like best about the product?

I find LaunchDarkly gets the work done as a simple but very focused product. No one inside the company ever gets confused about how to operate LaunchDarkly. It’s very simple to operate since it does one thing.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's expensive for the stuff it does. Fixed pricing would help because right now it’s usage-based, which sometimes makes it very expensive. Also, over time, the ease of use makes the environment complicated because there are way too many feature flags, which leads to no team member fully understanding what each flag does. It requires deep exploration every time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use LaunchDarkly for feature flag management, which helps gate features for different customers and environments. It's simple to operate, so no one gets confused, making it an efficient and focused product.

What do you like best about the product?

Gives very detailed answers and performance is fast

What do you dislike about the product?

Haven't experienced any issues to dislike it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows safe experimentation in production environments by targeting specific internal users or test accounts without affecting real customers.

What do you like best about the product?

The UI/product is fairly concise and non-cluttered. It seems to integrate fairly well for our frontend and backend services. Responses are fast and very rarely fail. Adding flags is quick and simple for new users.

What do you dislike about the product?

Flag deployment can be confusing at times, especially when implementing specific rules. The AI features, as far as I've experienced so far, haven't been very helpful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

LaunchDarkly is an immense help with product rollout and onboarding customers. It's allowed us to better experiment with features at a pace that works for engineering and product teams. Pricing seems right given how useful this has been for our company.

What do you like best about the product?

I really like the ease of use and simple UI of LaunchDarkly. It's super convenient for a SaaS company like ours, which operates worldwide and needs to control features in a monitored way. Additionally, the initial setup of LaunchDarkly was pretty easy.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find that it doesn't force us, as developers, to provide a good naming mechanism or at least it doesn't show it that way. Maybe incorporating an AI assistant to help provide explanations of features could enhance this aspect, even if the developer didn't include one.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use LaunchDarkly for gradual releasing feature flags, providing an easy and controlled way to release features. The simple UI and ease of use make it super convenient for a worldwide SaaS company.

What do you like best about the product?

The feature flag capabilities have been incredibly valuable for our team. They solve a wide range of business use cases by allowing us to control feature rollouts with precision, without requiring new deployments for every change. This has significantly improved our release velocity, enabling us to ship code more frequently while minimizing risk.

One of the biggest advantages is the ability to gradually roll out new features to specific user segments, perform A/B testing, and quickly disable problematic features if issues arise in production. This has given our team much greater confidence in releasing changes and experimenting with new ideas.

Overall, feature flags have streamlined our development and deployment workflow, reduced operational risk, and made it much easier to validate new features with real users before a full-scale rollout. They have become an essential part of our release strategy, helping us deliver value to customers faster while maintaining stability and reliability.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes the support is not great especially during the times when the platform is down and offlate we are seeing a lot of cases where our company are seeing unreliable results

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

LaunchDarkly has solved several challenges that we previously faced around feature releases, testing, and risk management. Before adopting feature flags, releasing new functionality often meant coupling deployments directly with feature launches, making it difficult to test changes in production or quickly respond if something went wrong.

With LaunchDarkly, we can decouple deployments from feature releases, giving us much greater control over how and when new functionality is exposed to users. We can gradually roll out features to specific customer segments, perform A/B testing, validate new functionality with a limited audience, and instantly disable or roll back a feature without requiring a new deployment. This has significantly reduced the operational risk associated with releases.

The platform has also increased our development and release velocity. Our engineering teams can merge and deploy code more frequently without waiting for a coordinated product launch, while product and business teams have the flexibility to control feature availability independently. This has streamlined collaboration across teams and shortened the time it takes to deliver value to customers.

Overall, LaunchDarkly has become a key part of our release strategy. It has improved the reliability of our deployments, enabled faster experimentation and data-driven decision-making, reduced the impact of potential production issues, and allowed us to deliver new features to customers with greater confidence and agility.

What do you like best about the product?

We have a very flexible way to implement the features.

What do you dislike about the product?

It’s hard to manage when there are a lot of flags.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit for us is having a feature flag outside of the application.

What do you like best about the product?

easy understand UI, easy approve button, and clean surface

What do you dislike about the product?

last time the service of LD went down, my coworkers and I blocked for some time

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

easy func/rollout capability, no need to rebuild code

What do you like best about the product?

I use LaunchDarkly for safeguarding new features and cohort-based rollouts. It makes rolling out features super easy, and I appreciate that the UI is very clean and user-friendly. The bulk updates via JSON make it much more customizable, and I don't have to manage environments in helm files or local files, which would later require code merges and deployments. LaunchDarkly provides a make checker flow that makes it easy for me to add my counterparts in the loop when releasing features for a new cohort. The other person can approve and apply the changes I raised for review. It was really easy and quick to set up too. I definitely find it way better than the Harness feature flag service.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing I think can be improved is the UI placement for adding a new rule. It does take some time to understand how to add a new rule. I think if an AI agent were there to create rules or update the flags, it would be the best, as I could pair up with an LD agent to create the rules and send them to me for approval. Makes life a whole lot easier.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use LaunchDarkly for safeguarding new features and cohort-based rollouts. It makes feature management simple, with an easy UI and customizable bulk updates. I avoid managing environments in helm or local files. Approvals and changes are streamlined, improving feature release coordination.
