TLDR; for choosing ConfigCat
What do you like best about the product?
In short:
Pricing model. It makes a lot of sense to me. Especially compared to the competition which has a confusing and limiting pricing approach.
It has all core features we care for and libraries are in multiple programming languages
I love technical model with config.json being downloaded and multiple fallback options
The tipping point for us was SSO integration, working seamlessly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not found anything just yet. The risks highlighted by some managers about third party dependency are easily addressable and not an issue for feature toggle tools like the Config Cat at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Got rid of the zoo of homemade feature toggle solutions.
Got developers and product team better control on toggles. Including better security.
Improved feature completeness and performance of feature toggling.
Improved visibility of toggles used in different environments.

Powerful, simple feature flagging!
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent support and friendly knowledgeable staff! Super easy to use and set up. The plan we are on (Smart Plan) gives us unlimited environments and unlimited seats (allowing for great flexibility and simple setup for our many different personas within the organization). I love the Zombie flag feature to easily identify flags that should be removed. I also really like it will show you all uses of the flag in your codebase to help with flag cleanup and removal. Easily the best feature flagging tool I have used to date. Highly recommend this product and this company.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think any serious software company is going to need the smart plan (or above depending on how large they are), so I feel the free and pro tiers are not very useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can now completely decouple our deployments from our releases and derisk our features releases (especially if we feel there may be a performance impact). As it is very simple to use with virtually no learning curve, we found great adoption amongst all our departments.
Fantastic Product
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using ConfigCat for a couple of years now, having implemented within all our core applications to manage our feature flagging strategy. The product itself is very flexible, enabling you to manage configuration across multiple environments and the user targeting rules will allow you to create custom rules to meet any requirement, be it targeting a specific segment, individual users, version of your code, as well as a simplistic bucketing tool to split traffic. The zombie flag report is also a nice touch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as yet, although I would like to see a scheduling feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dynamic Feature Flag management.
Easiest FeatureFlagging
What do you like best about the product?
What I do like best about ConfigCat is how easy it is to to add and fetch values
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do dislike the most about ConfigCat is the price and the fact that it doesn't support JSON format
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With ConfigCat we are able to feature flag and send custom values to all our mobile app features. We are now able to disable certain features based on location, users or general.
Very helpful tool and team
What do you like best about the product?
Their docs and support team accessibility and level of help
What do you dislike about the product?
They are doing great work. I have nothing to say on this as of now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Features deployment to end users
Better AND Cheaper than LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
ConfigCat is somehow both better AND cheaper than LaunchDarkly. The ConfigCat folks have been very helpful and friendly, and dealing with our various support requests. They even listen to feature requests! After I asked about high latency to their servers, they added global servers. ♥️
What do you dislike about the product?
More of a feature *difference* than a problem: the model is "inside out". So rather than sending each value to ConfigCat and evaluating the flags server-side, instead the flag rules are downloaded to the client and then evaluated locally. This has pros and cons, so consider based on your use-case. For us it's fine!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benefits are that it's far, far cheaper than any alternative we found. The support team are really fast and helpful. Downsides are we had to write our own React wrapper, at first latency was high because the servers were not worldwide (now fixed).
Excellent cloud-based feature flag management and configuration platform.
What do you like best about the product?
The ConfigCat feature set is robust and is accompanied by excellent documentation and samples. The team is responsive to feature requests, questions and problems on Slack. They take care of their customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had no complaints about ConfigCat at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ConfigCat allows us to deliver incomplete features to development and testing environments while not risking production environments. It gives us the ability to turn on features for specific sets of users or do A/B testing. This has smoothed out our Git branching and our CICD processes.
Straightforward and easy to implement Feature Flags management
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to implement and offers a very pragmatic approach at feature flags. The sdks are simple and non-intrusive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. It offers all the features we needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are managing feature flags across multiple projects written in different frameworks and programming languages. Configcat was very straightforward to implement and all teams were delighted with its ease of use.
ConfigCat helps us ship code faster
What do you like best about the product?
ConfigCat was easy to setup and evaluate. Their developer docs were excellent and we were able to get it integrated pretty easily. We were able to start using it to rapidly release features into our production environment without risking customers seeing things before it was ready.
It allows us to rapidly release software so we can create tighter feedback between our internal teams. New features are hidden behind a feature flag so Product, Design and Engineering can work together building new features for customers. We can also add specific customers to our alpha or beta tests and get their feedback early.

What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation can be better, especially for how to integrate this as an Administrator and to use it as a Team. It is very developer centric, which as an engineer is great for me, but the views could use a little tweaking for non engineering users like Product Managers who just want a view of the feature flags.
Also the concept of a Product with Different Configuration spaces wasn't really documented too well and could use some explanation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ConfigCat has allowed us to remove the fear of releasing code as part of our development process. My team and I can prototype and validate ideas quickly and get feedback from other stake holders like Product, Design and Operations and makes it so we don't have to worry about impacting customers.
It creates a tighter feedback loop so Engineers can get code into production faster which means iteration towards a better solution is sped up. If you are developing software products, it's extremely helpful.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
They have a trial account that let's you evaluate the tool pretty well. Read the SDK documentation and try it out
Fun & easy way to configure your products
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to configure our systems using ConfigCat, allowing us to ditch the SSH-in-and-change configuration method
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires a constant internet connection, so it can't be used for an off-line application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ConfigCat has helped us ditch manual intervention into our servers and we can simply change it all on a dashboard
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use a caching agent to not have to re-request your config every time
