Works, but ui is very confusing and misleading
What do you like best about the product?
That it works...........................
What do you dislike about the product?
The ui is very confusing. You need to simplify it a lot for LaunchDarkly to be well-understood.
Other then that - better understanding of your architecture will be appreciated (how the agent in the app effects scaling)

Seamless feature releases made easy with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about LaunchDarkly is its simplicity and effectiveness in managing feature releases. With LaunchDarkly, implementing feature flags and managing feature rollouts becomes incredibly straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new UX - I am working with LD for a few years and I got used to the old UX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. LaunchDarkly solves the problem of selectively releasing features for internal testing. With LaunchDarkly, we can easily restrict access to new features, allowing only internal teams to test them before rolling them out to all users.
2. LaunchDarkly facilitates gradual feature releases. This means we can open a feature to a small subset of users first, gradually expanding access to all users. This approach allows us to carefully monitor the impact of new features and ensure a smooth rollout for all users.

Effective, fun and convenient to work with LD
What do you like best about the product?
The convenience of viewing and simplicity, without too many complications, you can tell from the main page which feature flags serve true/false and the statistics and the ease of operation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many times I want to get a snapshot of a certain feature (which can include several feature flags or even different accounts under LD) and apart from manually going through each of the feature flags, I don't have a convenient way to do it.
So both in terms of viewing and in terms of control, I would be happy to unify the number of feature flags under the same "group" for viewing/control.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The danger of changing a code that many rely on separately without testing it gradually/possibility to turn it off if something happens.
LD meets exactly this need.

Works well but per-user pricing is a bit ridiculous
What do you like best about the product?
Seems to offer anything and everything you could need for tests, and manages to do it very performantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing per-user is prohibitively expensive. It shouldn't make any difference if we have one user administering our tests or 100. Pricing should depend on things like the volume of invocations. It really just encourages either account sharing or being stingy with access - both of which hurt LD more than they help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Low latency variant cohorting for end users. It helps us in that we already had a solution for this but it added latency overhead to requests which LaunchDarkly is able to avoid.
LD has been a consistent, reliable, and often used tool in our tool chain.
What do you like best about the product?
Mostly that it's reliable. The usage graphs are handy. Once set up, the toggles are generally pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's gotten harder to setup a simple flag. There are different wizards for flag setup and it's still not immediately clear why. It doesn't seem like it should be something that requires extensive documentation. I would prefer a page with all the possible toggles and buttons to customize a flag, instead of a wizard that describes potential use cases for how to use a precreated flag. I don't trust the wizard knows how I use LD flags, nor do i fully understand what it means. For example a flag is used for "migrations" - what does that truly mean. I don't want to read through documentation assuming an abstraction. All I need to know is when it's on and when it's off and the possible configuration I can give it. The wizard assumes too much of a use case without explaining how it actually works. I would prefer to know what exactly it does, and maybe have documentation that provides potential use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature management. If we are migrating to a new feature, or want to do testing. Primarily a true/false switch that has extra parameters for user, company, project, whatever. Seems pretty replaceable to be honest.
Good product all around
What do you like best about the product?
It's packed with features and covers all of our needs so far, including more complex ones.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their UI is a bit clanky. The day-to-day operations require multiple clicks and screens, yet more complex stuff are a single click away.
Their JS SDK could also use an improvement. It works great, but requires a couple of levels of abstraction to get any actual production-ready material code out of it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're doing gradual rollout of features all the time, as well as block features behind feature flags.
LaunchDarkly allows us to do all that.

Very useful feature flag product
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to turn on and off each flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inclusion of the code to manage the flags is not so strightforward, and less if you want to use some other extra features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves that we can release features safely and we can turn them on and off to test in a timely manner.
Easy to integrate and use.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility it provides for release rollout and feature flagging.
What do you dislike about the product?
New UI is confusing to use, old UI is more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rollout features based on region, rollback bad release.
Great tool

- fast

quickly resolve issues in rollout
Good tool for feature flag management
What do you like best about the product?
Lauchdarkly is easy to use. It is straighforward to get onboarded. It allows us to release new features with confidence behind the flag, which derisk each release. We used Launchdarkly often for most of our feature releases that can impact the end users.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is expensive for each user. We have very limited license due to the cost, and not everyone can have access to it. It gets a bit challenging to track everything when we have more and more feature flags. We have seen cases that we have production outage due to the feature flag diffs between staging and production env.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to manage feature flags and turn on/off each feature with ease. We can quickly disable the feature if any issue is detected.
It allows us to gradually release features with a stable rollout strategy.
