Excellent platform for feature management
What do you like best about the product?
We found LaunchDarkly very helpful to organize Continuous Delivery by separating deployments and feature releases. It also allows to better isolate concurrent WIP done by different teams. We often use LD for A/B-testing and gradual feature releases to end users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really to complain about, the tool does its work, without any customer support needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem LD helps us with is Continuous Delivery, as we have multiple teams working on large features.

I'm always defaulted to staging and have to remember to change to prod.

Ability to launch to select groups at a time is invaluable. We can catch issues before releasing to GA.

What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest there isn't anything that I can think of!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to serve multiple variations of feature flag values based on specific user contexts. Previously we hosted a XML file which contained all of our mobile apps remote configurations which was always a pain to work with, migrating over to Launch Darkly has been a dream. We now are much more flexible in being able to update and add feature flags on the fly.
Easy to use, fast, helps with sequential roll out for new product
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to search for instances users easily
What do you dislike about the product?
complex logic when the conditions started to grow, hard to mentally map the logic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps with being a safety net in case stuff breaks and also helps us release features to customer that has agreed to use some of the features
Great feature flag management
What do you like best about the product?
Great product. It works well; it's easy to use and very feature-rich.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although there have been improvements to the UI, I feel some of these have made it harder to use (too many clicks).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AB Testing and feature management like scheduled and incremental rollouts.
Great tool
What do you like best about the product?
Launch darkly is a very useful tool for feature gating. The level of granularity of LD flags are impressive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont have any major complaints about LaunchDarkly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use launchdarkly for feature management, esspecially for new features that we don't want to full release or for rolling back bad features. We also do some testing for certain features to see if they should be released to other clusters.
It’s a great tool to maintain release versions and while releasing a new features to early adopters.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about launch darkly is -
1. Ease of integration of the Launch darkly feature with code, since we have first party NuGet and SDK.
2. Changes are reflected instantly once published, didn't observed any lag which publishing the changes.
3. Segregation of user using segments, can have multiple segments in a LD flag.
4. Ability to create custom rules.
5. Easily implemented via DevOps pipelines.

What do you dislike about the product?
The things which can be improved are -
1. Reading and editing the users in a segment or flag.
2. Its difficult to add users in a big segment when the users are GUID's, since the search functionality does not work properly and gives multiple suggestion in GUID's.
3. The settings and admin tabs can be made more cleaner and less chaotic.
4. Support to read segments using LDClient should be added in C# NuGet, right now only API support is provided.

Worry free launching
What do you like best about the product?
It is quick to turn features on and off with Launch Darkly and save us from embarrassing releases and customer churn.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did like to have LD as a phone app that way I can turn flags on and off on the go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to release features peacefully without customer functionality interruption is huge.
As a Product Manager I recommend using LaunchDarkly.
What do you like best about the product?
The platform offers a range of features that significantly contribute to our business, examples:

What do you dislike about the product?
One notable limitation of LaunchDarkly is the absence of a straightforward option for administrators to monitor team utilization effectively. For instance, in scenarios where projects are organized per product, quickly identifying active services on production can be challenging.
Additionally, there have been concerns raised about the onboarding process. Some teams have reported that obtaining the required certificate can be time-consuming.
Nevertheless, LaunchDarkly addresses these challenges by enhancing the user experience through initiatives like Engineering Insights and tech talks. Teams have the opportunity to sign up for these sessions to acquire the necessary information and insights to overcome obstacles in both the platform utilization and onboarding processes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launching new features to an informed and prepared customer base, often through programs like Early Access Programs (EAP), is a key practice. This approach mitigates risks associated with new releases by concealing changes under feature flags, allowing for seamless deactivation without the need for redeployment. Additionally, transitioning to multi-tenancy is facilitated by tools such as Tap Compare, coupled with the flexibility to assign distinct feature flag values.
Easy to use dynamic feature flag solution
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and supoport different types of values like Boolean, String, Number and even JSON. The SDKs are there to integrate in almost all the technologies. We use a lot of feature flags in different places like frontend and backend and it works seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user's (IDs) can be set in the interface. Hence our IDs are UUIDs, they are not identifiable after adding them to the feature flag. Ideally, we should be able to put a "display text" along with the IDs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do continous delivery of various features but need to control who can see/use these features. So we expose the feature for the internal users first and release it to public. LauchDarkly helps to solve this issue in each stage like exposing it to the developers first, then the internal teams and to the public at the end.
