Easy to manage and very good to try out new features.

  • November 20, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very friendly and even people with non-technical background can use it without issues. I love the statistics after rolling out an experiment because they accurately reflect how many users have access to each feature. And last but not least I am happy that there’s an easy way to “roll-back” on unsuccessful features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Biggest issue and most time and money consuming is the fact that it takes a while to actually access the live experiments after they have been activated. There is a cache issue or something in the system that does not allow users to interact with activated features, sometimes even for hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Limits potential issue exposure and also provides us with reactive feedback from our user base.

Great product

  • November 20, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The support has been amazing! I had several calls with the team and they're super reactive 👍
What do you dislike about the product?
The SDK is unfortunately not open source, and the release note are not very transparent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main goal was to use the experiments to A/B test our features, which worked pretty well 👍
The next really important thing is using flags and variants as a safety net when deploying in production, allowing us to roll back almost instantly if some bugs/issue appears.

Note that we are not making heavy use of the configuration files.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go it's an amazing tool with great support and reliability

Good feature flag management for teams

  • November 17, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I think the interface that rollout provides, the level of management you can give users, as well as additional features like configs.
What do you dislike about the product?
When copying over flags to different environments, you can only do it one by one. It would be nice to have a "copy to all envs" button or where you can select which envs you want the flag to be copied over to. It would also be nice if rollout could generate a report with project filters of what flags are enabled or not enabled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature flag management that doesn't require a new deployment to push out a feature or rollback a feature. This is great for testing in different environments, as well as if something bad were to happen, you can easily rollout back to the previous version.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool for feature flags and to give access to multiple teams without coding experience. For PMs and non technical people, it is a nice interface and easy to use and edit. It isn't the easiest for pulling reports to give an entire summary of flags in all environments. It seems like more of a manual process to create the same flag in all the environments.

Rollout, the feature flag as a service done great

  • November 15, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and interface friendly. Everyone (from developer to project manager) can use it easily.
The sync with a Github Repository is great for audit and platform as code.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some concepts can be sometimes hard to understand (like configuration, the sync of flags, ...).
There are multiple ways to init a project with flags, so it can be little bit trivial sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Rollout for mainly 2 usecases: first is darklaunches, that allows us to ship features and hide them from client. The second is feature behind a paywall, that allows us to present features according to user plan.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give Rollout a try with their free trial.

Cloudbees Core Jenkins CI/CD Automation

  • November 14, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of using Cloudbees Core is the support. The support group is very responsive, and has provided good answers to my requests. They will also help with issues for 3rd party plugins. This is important when pipelines running 24x7.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product can get expensive when scaling for large installations. We currently pay per executor. They offer a per user pricing option with unlimited masters and executors can help, which is more cost effective for organizations with a lot of developers. The pricing model keeps changing so the cost-benefit could improve in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are automating our build-test-deploy CI/CD pipelines with Cloudbees CI Core. We have moved from 1 deployment per week to deploying daily. Business is improved due to more secure and tested deployed builds.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using the free version of Jenkins, I would try Cloudbees Core.

Great potential, learning curve a bit too high (counter productive)...

  • November 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a simple way to activate or deactivate features, useful for massive deployments. It works for several major languages and the learning curve is acceptable.

The web UI and UX are responsive and provide a good experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it feels like your teams can program these features themselves, without relying on external services like this. Additionally, it requires some learning. This might involve a loss of money in some cases.

Sometimes the support is not as fast as one requires, something important especially for this kind of service. Chat responses aren't good enough yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One thing that's useful is that everything is well organized, appropriate "packages" for each different language/platform. One example is "Install-Package rox-server", which is quite simple.
The flag system is well structured, and it might save you time and "force" your development team to organize your projects better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's headed in the right direction, if they fix the key and most basic flaws I've found so far I believe this is might become a standard when doing consulting work for my clients (by recommending it) or for my own apps. The inclusion of Python (a must-have these days) is something I consider important and extremely useful if they help my dev teams, to be more organized and productive.
The price might be a bit too high for someone who is just starting, there's certainly room for improvement there, but it's nothing for a mid/major company or corporation.
In other words, give it a try. Read the documentation and see how you can take advantage of it.

Big solution

  • November 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the rollout dashboard because is very friendly and the options in the dashboard es good it has many solutions.
The framework or iOS is good because I can install using carthage, the easy configuration using the app delegate is excellent. I can create a customs parameters to configure my variables.
What do you dislike about the product?
when I use rollout my team founded an error when the connection isn't successful this mean that if rollout not have a connection we can not call to rollout setup or register new flags in execution time.
Rollout is a good solutions to use feature toggling in projects, have any problems like the setup or in the iOS case, the swift version because not have a version history to select the correct carthage version to use in specific project, for example my project run with swift 4.2 because for the company security our computer can not update to last Mac OS version this main that the XCode version that our can use right now is XCode 10.2 but this version isn't compatible with swift 5.0. It was a big problem when I was installing the Rollout framework with my current XCode version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits with Rollout is the best management of the features in an application. The Rollout dashboard help me to setup my project using common values and the best is that I can create a customs parameters to configure my variables.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fix problem when rollout can not make a connection.

Exactly what a development team needs, does one thing and does it very well. simple

  • November 14, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
How we can create configuration on the fly with new feature flags written in the code. Also hopefully soon bitbucket configuration in the repo configuration storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not having a sold feature (the backup of the flags to source repository) and having to wait for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
continuous delivery and hiding of not done features using the feature flags.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Rollout will help your team be able to release code while keeping it out of mainstream until you want it, so very very easy to use. I liked being able to have developers write the feature flag in the code and have it go live then. Also the toggle overlay that you can use to override the flags for QA is amazing. I also like the smart features where you can single the flags to a single user or use a regex. The browser data is also abstracted away from the user so the flag settings are more secure.
