Separate your deploys from rollouts
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of creating flags that are separating our feature rollouts from deployment is the largest factor of our use case. Implementation is a simple library and we're able to integrate it into each of our apps easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some cultural issues of utilizing LD's flags when we probably didn't need to which adds more complexity to a system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The separation of features from deployment and understanding the reason for degredation or improvement is how it benefits us the most right now.

Feature Flag Galore
What do you like best about the product?
My team primarily uses the feature flags. We integrate this service with out AWS services and can easily toggle code switches. I enjoy the simplicity and customization if you need something more complex.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not personally dealt with it enough to have dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly makes it easy to disable/rollback a change should an issue arise in prod. It also allows for parallel testing without redeploying.
Lets us release and deploy software faster
What do you like best about the product?
- Ease of use via the SDK
- Ability to easily do A/B testing
- Deploy software faster while our QA teams catch up to testing
- Target different market segments efficiently with user profiles

What do you dislike about the product?
- Generally about feature flags: There is always technical debt to take care of
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Faster deployments
- Feature Management - we create features earlier and enable them when customers are ready to accept them

Shorter time to production for new features
What do you like best about the product?
It's much faster to add new features into production.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike at this time. Everything has been great
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rolling out features in phases.
Launch Darkly is a really good tool
What do you like best about the product?
I've heard engineers talk about how easy it is for them to put new features behind a feature flag in Launch Darkly. From the product side, its super easy to create segments of users. This has improved the way we manage our Alpha, Beta, and GA releases. I'm currently leading a huge intiative at the moment; I can not imagine doing this effectively without LD.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their zapier integration is limited. We were attempting to completely automate our beta process leveraging Launch Darkly + Hubspot forms. We failed to do so because LD's zapier integration doesn't support Segments. We are exploring leveraging their public API to build a custom solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped us do a few things better. 1. We manage alpha and beta releases more effectively. 2. We hav avoided massive outages by leveraging percentage based rollouts 3. It has helped us reduced the risk of launching large features or intiatives in our customer.
UI interface is very user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
The ease that I'm able to navigate around the UI and find what I want with having to search an alternate site. It's very easy to configure new settings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I can currently think of pertains.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The team is able to hide features to prod which allows us to deploy to prod early and not have to hold back features in different branches.
Overall, experience clear benefits from the product
What do you like best about the product?
My team releases firmware for an embedded product with a relatively slow cadence (months between releases). LaunchDarkly allows us to include riskier features faster with the option to roll them out slowly and disable them or tweak operating parameters if issues are discovered. It's very nice to be able to make configuration changes via LaunchDarkly as well without having to release new firmware.
What do you dislike about the product?
There seem to be some gaps in the approval process for making production changes. It's possible this has been fixed and I'm not aware, but I know we've had issues in the past where we've enabled required approval for production changes to flags, yet users have been able to create brand new flags and bypass the approval process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us release features faster and with less risk of user impact. It also allows us to be more flexible in how we configure our software for different use-cases, including enabling features for different user-bases (beta testing, firmware versions, hardware platforms, etc.)
Launch Darkly is a great service to toggle any feature
What do you like best about the product?
1. It's a great tool for toggling features.
2. You can easily roll out or block a feature for specific customers without any hassle.
3. I use it daily, and it works smoothly with minimal impact on API latency.
4. Setting up a new LD flag takes only a minute.
5. It provides a rich SDK to integrate with Launch Darkly easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. Segments and Release features can be simplified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'd point out two major problems that LD solves for my case,
1. We don't need to think about beta release to a small portion of customers. Just need to put the feature behind LD flag and control the flag from LD dashboard. That's it.
2. When we launch a new feature, we always put that feature behind LD flags. So that if something goes wrong, we don't need rollback anything in a hurry. Just toggle the LD flag by a single click. That would do the job.

Easy Launchdarkly Feature Flags
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Launchdarkly feature flags for about 3 years now. We have been using them to run experiments, or as kill switches for various features. I would say, that they are straightforward to use. One thing that I like is how LaunchDarkly creates an event stream with the user's browser, and the value of the feature flag gets updated on all the clients as soon as you update the value of the feature flag.
We use it for almost every new feature that we build in the product, and we have easily integrated it with our MobX Library that is used for global state management, and it makes the integration even more simpler for the developers.

What do you dislike about the product?
The new UI that LaunchDarkly recently launched for feature flagging is not something that I like, I had built muscle memory for using the tool hence it has become a little tough for me to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- We use it to experiment with a new feature, and get analytics out of it before launching it for the entire user base.
- We are able to partially launch a feature to a subset of users, as we can very easily target to subset of users on the Product very easily using LaunchDarkly.
- Since LD uses an event stream, which modifies the value of the flag in the product as soon as it is updated from the LD Dashboard (without the need to refresh the page). We use use LD as a kill switch for features in which we not very confident about the implementation. With LD we are easily able to kill the code if anything goes south in real-time.

Using Launch Darkly to Control Features
What do you like best about the product?
I personally like how clean the UI is. You're able to see multiple configurations for a given flag in a relatively easy to use UI
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to see different evaluations on a given feature flag between different configurations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing us to rollout features on a percentage basis, allowing us to incrementally increase load on a new flow without the risk of a small bug causing huge widespread issues
