An excellent feature flagging system with a minor problem
What do you like best about the product?
Integration of the SDK for our mobile apps was relatively simple, and usage over the last two years has been excellent. We've used it extensively for featuring flagging as well as configuration items. Switching flags can't be done by accident, setting up a new project gets you a production environment AND a testing environment by default, and when a new flag is created, both environments get access to the flag (though the states are separate).
What do you dislike about the product?
User account creation and permission management are a mess. Our entire company uses it and each new user can see every single project within the console. I'd love it if users could only see the specific projects they have access rights to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch Darkly allows us to ship features in an MVP state and try them out with small batches of users while we iron out the problems. It means we can ship faster and hide incomplete things behind feature flags.

Feature Flag - Move Faster by taking risk
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly is mostly used for feature flag implementation for high-visible / priority projects. It enables us to move faster without worrying about the risk on Production. It is a handy tool for Server side implementation, and the team does not have to redeploy the code to turn the feature flag on or off. It can schedule the feature flag or enable access for only a few users.
What do you dislike about the product?
It stores essential secret key info, which might be visible on the client side and can be a security concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature flag management - No need to redeploy the application code.
Continuous releases to PROD without taking much risk for the end user.
Continuous releases to PROD without taking much risk for the end user.
LaunchDarkly helps release features quickly and with confidence
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to turn on and off features easily without deployment, enable features for target users only, ability to do percentage rollout of feature and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
LaunchDarkly UI can have the ability to copy rules across different environments instead of having to write them for each enviornment manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to launch features without having to revert code or do another deployment. Also target users in Production env so can have confidence feature works as expected in production for small set of internal users before rolling to general public.
Exactly as advertised
What do you like best about the product?
You get your features in to prod behind a reliable system that makes it easy to show and hide them from all the right users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one painful thing is the clean up. They do what they can to help, but if you aren't careful and you are moving fast you end up with a lot of baggage in your code. Features you don't need flagged anymore are still only shown to users because Launch Darkly says it ok.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's making it easy to put features in prod for a limited user base and prove they work well before releasing them to a larger audience.
LaunchDarkly Invented Feature Management as a Service
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly provides the BEST available SaaS product for Feature Management, with continued efforts in releasing new features and capabilities to customers regularly. While providing a great product, they also provide first-class expertise in guiding and consulting on effective feature management within the organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
LaunchDarkly can be confusing at times with the number of options to configure a target. The product could be streamlined to allow for more effective organization of features and introduce simpler targeting concepts for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly solves our continuous delivery of features by enabling progress delivery through decoupled deployments and releases in a completely off-the-shelf SaaS offering with no other dependencies or needed infrastructure.
Makes developing and releasing features much more easier with a simple click
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of implementation and ease of turning on/off feature flags instantly. Also, being able to target users individually and have environments for test/production environments. Reliable uptime; never had any issues with LaunchDarkly going down.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can be a little daunting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to launch features at the click of a button when it's ready. Turning off features if a breaking bug occurs in the production app. Due to working on a mobile app, we have release windows of every x amount of weeks. If one of our features breaks, we can simply turn that feature flag off and issue a fix for the next release rather than scrambling for a hotfix.
LaunchDarkly is an easy to use and expansive tool
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly allows our teams to infer data from experiments and flag features across both web and native platforms. It has helped us selectively rollout new features and easily measure metrics to those roll outs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall the platform is easy to use, however it would be great to selectively transfer settings such as flags or experiments across different environments or a way to "publish" from a dev/stage environment to production.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly is able to solve our needs to selectively roll out new features required by brands which have enabled a decoupled engineering and product development from deployment comms with our brands.
Reviewing LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it enables faster development through easy toggling of features. The speed at which flag toggles propagate is close to magic!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that makes LaunchDarkly hard to use is their UI has some sections that are not clearly intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to do dark deployments to production and then releasing at our leisure instead of having to conform to arbitrary release dates.
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
The feature for LaunchDarkly is great. Simply using boolean flags is a great start but LaunchDarkly has pushed out new features that would help with deployment automation and feasibility for A/B testing is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is pretty significant that some organization may be deterred from selecting LaunchDarkly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can continuously deploy and selecting when to turn features on.
Great product which has changed the way we approach software development
What do you like best about the product?
User-friendly Interface, robust permission capabilities, reliable product, great support, extensive documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints so far! Every experience we've had with both the product and the company as a whole has been positive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch Darkly was a necessity for migrating our development team to use trunk-based development. Without their software, we wouldn't have been able to complete that initiative. In addition, the "risk-free" deployments have enabled us to deploy code with the peace of mind that we can revert changes and reduce the negative impact on our customers with just the click of a button
