ConfigCat helps us isolate features in a multi-team continuous delivery setup
What do you like best about the product?
For real continuous delivery, the development of features needs to be isolated, so that the code is ready to go to production at any time. ConfigCat does that for us flawlessly without any integration issues. Its usage has been self-explanatory and without further need of documentation or customer support. The overview of feature toggles across all environments is very helpful to see the general status of development in a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that is not really easy to do with the way we use ConfigCat is the isolation of features that span multiple teams and/or services. We would need to define an overarching product for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For real continuous delivery, the development of features needs to be isolated, so that the code is ready to go to production at any time. This means different services in a microservices environment can be released to production multiple times a day without needing to worry about unfinished code or unforeseen interaction of features.
Excellent Feature Flag system
What do you like best about the product?
- very easy and straightforward to implement with the many options they provide with their different SDKs for different languages.
- very responsive support
- extensive options to implement more advanced feature flags and rollout strategies
- Very competitive pricing in comparison to some of their competitors

What do you dislike about the product?
Their Dashboard sometimes has a little confusing UI, which could use some improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we used a mix of different homegrown feature flag solutions, which made it very difficult in our growing organisation to have a single approach to feature flag management.
This impacted our engineering team as we scaled up, not having a single solution made it harder to onboard new engineers.
With Configcat, we consolidate all our services to leverage it, and we have a single feature flag solution that includes a range of additional features, such as audit logging, stale feature flag tracking, and caching.
This enabled us to speed up development and roll out new features more quickly and safely, as we can use feature flags to roll out features more gradually in a controlled fashion. This improvement enhanced our reliability and customer satisfaction, as we catch bugs faster and only impact beta customers before rolling out to a broader audience.

Easy to use and easy to adopt in company
What do you like best about the product?
Is so easy for new users start to create and integrate in our application
What do you dislike about the product?
there is nothing that i can mentionate, because we use it and we are loving it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now we can rollout and control each feature we delivery, and now we can toggle a feature too when we have any problem.
Love the flexibility from the support team
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is great for the price to add to your platform out-of-the-box features for features progressive and segmented activation, pretty useful for running betas, a/b tests, etc.
Their support team is also great, highlighting where we are over the quota for instance and being flexible in us fixing certain things before asking to move to the next plan.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I'm aware of. Maybe the tool is not as sophisticated as others to support experimentation E2E.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily target different users and customer segments with new features.
Simple, Reliable, and Developer-Friendly Feature Toggle Tool
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about ConfigCat is its simplicity and ease of use. The dashboard is clean and intuitive, and integrating it into our applications was fast and straightforward. It supports progressive feature rollouts and user targeting, which helps us test features safely in production. I also appreciate that the SDKs are open-source and well-documented, which builds confidence in the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
While ConfigCat works really well, it lacks some advanced analytics and experimentation features, such as deeper A/B testing capabilities and native impact reports. Pricing can also become a concern as the number of environments and users grows, especially for larger teams or organizations with more complex needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ConfigCat helps us reduce deployment risk by decoupling code releases from feature rollouts. It allows our development and product teams to test features in production with specific users or groups, gather feedback, and make adjustments before a full release. This results in faster iteration cycles, fewer rollbacks, and a more stable user experience. Additionally, its easy-to-use dashboard and robust SDKs help our teams stay productive without unnecessary complexity.
Best combination of capability and price
What do you like best about the product?
ConfigCat is a no-frills solution in a crowded space and is easy to get started with. Our team was able to get ConfigCat integrated into our first product in a matter of a couple of days with no real road blocks. The way that ConfigCat uses deterministic methods to ensure that users are segmented properly, whether it's through the UI SDK or server-side SDK is great, as data remains on your client. This makes feature flag segments extremely fast within the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
ConfigCat is not nearly as full-featured as some competitors in the feature flag space; I could see how trying to use ConfigCat to perform A/B testing may be difficult, as the analytics/usage are not extremely robust.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ConfigCat allows our R&D team move more quickly by enabling our team in having confidence that a feature can be turned completely off at run-time.
Simple integration for powerful and controlled feature rollout
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible for gated access to features and also for on the fly performance optimisation settings on early adopters in early stages of application rollouts
What do you dislike about the product?
History not massively useful - would be great to have longer retention
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single place for all feature config related aspects including enablement/disablement
Fairly priced product for bigger teams with excellent support and industry leading feature set
What do you like best about the product?
- We liked that instead of having a seat based pricing model, ConfigCat just has different packages, but all can have unlimited users. This makes pricing predictable and the product guilt-free to use with larger teams, where some members might need to use the platform very often, while others only few times a quarter or etc.
- Also having the free tier available to test everything out before commiting was crucial. During that testing period it was also very clear that their support is top-notch, always responding quickly and being there to guide us. The support materials they provide are also super helpful and the wide range of differnt SDK-s makes implementation easy.
- Commitment to initiative like OpenFeature shows that they are serious and ready to be industry leader in Feature Flagging.
- In terms of their product, we like the privacy and security focus and having ability to run proxies in our own infrastructure - this was a crucial element what we needed from a feature flagging platform and it has enabled us to use feature flagging platform without compromising our SLA-s.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The UI and UX in general could be improved. The platform is mostly used by developers, so it has not been a big issue, but people outside engineering struggle.
- We rely on many custom targeting attributes and its currently not easy to manage those, as these need to typed in manually several times, leading to typos and other silly mistakes
- Flag change review process in currently missing
- Missing integrations with product analytics tools like Heap and Planhat

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing us to separate deployments from releases. Also allows us to gradually release a feature to users. Enables to do more controlled feature releases.
ConfigCat is a Game-Changer for Our Release Flow
What do you like best about the product?
ConfigCat has been a game-changer for our release flow. We love how it enables us to seamlessly implement A/B testing and canary releases, which are critical for our deployment strategy. The tool is straightforward to integrate and use, allowing us to experiment and release features confidently without disrupting our users. Their support team is also a standout – always responsive and helpful whenever we need assistance, ensuring we can tackle any challenges promptly.
What do you dislike about the product?
One small limitation we encountered with the free plan is the cap of 100 specific email addresses that can be assigned to a feature flag. For our needs, this was a bit restrictive as we required a higher limit. That said, this is a minor issue compared to the overall value and quality of the service, which has been excellent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can easily perform A/B tests and canary releases using ConfigCat, which helps us boost both the productivity of the development team and test new features only with a subset of users.
Critical to our business
What do you like best about the product?
ConfigCat is easy to use and has been rock solid for us. It has great support for multiple products, environments, and configs within them, providing centralized feature management across multiple products.
Feature flag services often price based on MAU which is impossibly expensive for a SaaS product like ours. ConfigCat has a fair pricing model based on config downloads and network traffic that makes it feasible for us to use the product. Additionally the add-ons make it easy to tailor the costs a bit before switching to a higher plan and they've been more than willing to work with us.

What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a bit complex for a first timer, but is workable once you understand the concepts. We have engineers, product managers, and support working in there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature flags are critical to our ability to rapidly deliver features to our clients. Being able to test features early makes it far more likely that we deliver things our clients need and that work as intended.
