LaunchDarkly is the real deal when it comes to feature switching!
What do you like best about the product?
Using LaunchDarkly for feature flags is easy, reliable, and fast. Changes to flag status propagate quickly, reliably, and have a great deal of redundancy built in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their APIs and SKDs could use a little polish, the API is good but could be better, and we had some problems with their iOS SDK
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our main reason for moving to LaunchDarkly was for fast and reliable feature switching. One happy bonus that we ended up with is their simple but powerful segmentation abilities. We are now able target users by a wide variety of criteria, and custom fields allow us to choose how we want to segment. This has been invaluable for internal production validation before rolling features out to our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't already have a feature flag solution, or are running a home grown one, you cannot go wrong with LaunchDarkly

Working with LD has been a very streamlined experience
What do you like best about the product?
Their documentation is through the roof. When I first started looking at their product it wasn't very often that I could think of a question around feature flagging that they did not already account for. Their blogs have also really helped in learning of best practices around feature flagging and the tooling support they provide around it, like Terraform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the nature of feature flagging, testing can be extremely difficult. Although Launch Darkly provides guidance of how to write integration and acceptance tests, they aren't always going to cover the different use cases of how these tests are ran.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch Darkly has allowed teams to gain more confidence in the code they write today. I see more and more flags being created every day. A lot of these flags go towards customer facing websites and with Launch Darkly's flag we can be sure to deliver new aesthetics and functionality on time.
This service speed up our development by allowing splitting deployment from release cycles.
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of usage and high availability.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have a better way of flags management (views). So we know we should have a convention, but proposals from LD about it and maybe force that in case a team choose such convention would be really valuable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically thanks to LaunchDarkly we could split the service deployment cycles from the exact release to the customer. In a DevOps world I would say this is "must have".
LaunchDarkly - Feature Toggling Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
A wide range of available SDKs
Simple to implement/manage feature flags
Positive attitude towards experimentation with features

What do you dislike about the product?
For the end user there's no real downside for implementing LaunchDarkly, the Custom Role implementation on the Admin side could be improved slightly to offer easier project permission management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better control on released features, CD is made a lot easier and stress free.
Awesome tool to release features
What do you like best about the product?
Good Admin UI. Very easy to learn and implement. The app can be up and running with feature flags within minutes.
Simple SDK for development.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Completing all the development and dropping the code all the way to production without having to worry about if the code works well or not.
We can release the feature in the background in the canary mode which significantly reduces the risk.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a stable and reliable tool for feature management & release. The code can be fully developed and dropped to production and time the feature release depending on the events and occasions.
The tool also propagates the flag change within secs to the app which helps to manage the feature release instantly. The tool also has support to release the feature for a small subset of users.

Control everything about your code, from tests to rollouts through one easy to use web inteface.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to target down to the individual user for a feature state, all the way to phased and controlled rollouts. Also that the feature flag system is usable in every level of our stack, from the browser and mobile clients all the way down through our service architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way to auto delete flags that are not being requested. I also wish that segments could be made up of other segments, allowing for that level of control outside of the feature setup itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything from A/B testing to feature flagging to functionality kill switches. The ability to have a centralized controlled system that can handle all of these pieces of our deployment process has been invaluable in both ease of use, and ability to quickly make changes when needed.
Fast and safely shipping the features that customers need
What do you like best about the product?
- Launchdarkly help us ship features across all platforms (web, native apps, and backends)
- The slack integrations help us enable team's autonomy being aware of the status of the flags
- The easy to use UI empowers product managers to turn on the feature for all users

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing alarming so far (even though we do have lots of legacy flags to clean up :) )
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need flags to control the feature rollout. LaunchDarkly does exactly fulfill that job.
IMO, Launchdarkly is part of modern software stack, the more you do, the continuous delivery maturity of the team would go.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Engineers should be empowered to build software core to the business, and they should ship software frequently as well as safely. Launchdarkly is a service empowering that idea.
So easy to use and just the best at what it does

What do you dislike about the product?
it is significantly more money than the competition

feature toggling front end apps
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best product by far, but there are cheaper options that may meet your needs.
LaunchDarkly has helped us achieve Continuous Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Using the feature flags within LaunchDarkly has allowed us to decouple the deployment of the code from the release of a feature. This has allowed us to release updates to production without the fear of exposing an incomplete feature. With this, we can now do daily deployments even when features take weeks to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish their user licensing model was a little different. It can get pricey to have licenses for even a medium sized team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly has helped us achieve Continuous Delivery and daily deployments with creating a complicated model to keep incomplete work out of sight. We build our features incrementally with small stories, so a feature may be slowly built over a couple of weeks. Instead of keeping all of those changes out of the codebase, we can now put these changes into our master branch without fear of exposing these to the user until we are ready. This allows the other teams to merge in the new code and incorporate these changes early and often, reducing the overhead of merge conflicts that occur from keeping the code separate for a long period of time.
Simple & awesome
What do you like best about the product?
Love the simplicity of toggling features on/off from the LD console.
Also love that we can do a staggered roll-out to users.
Even support is really solid.

What do you dislike about the product?
No pain points yet. Biggest learning curve is the new LD language we need to learn to implement the feature flag logic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
2 business problems:
1. Obviously use this to manage new feature releases to internal & external customers.
2. Using this to toggle major product features for clients on/off, based on their subscriptions.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the leader in feature flags and release management as far as we are concerned.
