Robust Feature Management for Customer Access
What do you like best about the product?
I like the robust flag logic controls of LaunchDarkly. The ability to create different groups and add notes is really helpful as it makes it easier for others to understand why things are set in certain ways. I use LaunchDarkly to manage feature access for customers, and it solves the issue of managing what different customers on different contracts have access to, as well as testing new features with smaller subsets of customers. I haven't run into any issues so far and would definitely recommend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly solves the problem of managing feature access for customers on different contracts and testing new features with smaller customer subsets, simplifying our feature management.
Intuitive Feature Flagging with Easy Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how LaunchDarkly is super easy to use, especially with the change log for each feature flag. It's like a git repo, allowing us to see who's edited it and when, which is super helpful and intuitive for our workflow. It was also super easy to set up; our front-end engineer did it in a day. LaunchDarkly makes managing feature flags for our different customers very convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I'm editing a feature flag, I always have to type the word 'production' or 'development.' For production, I feel like that's necessary, but for a dev environment, it doesn't seem like we should have to do that all the time. That's the main complaint. I also find LaunchDarkly a little difficult to navigate. Our entire organization uses LaunchDarkly, and finding our specific team's feature flags is a bit of a puzzle if I start at the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to segment features behind service agreements, so we can turn features on and off for different customer subsets easily. It's been super helpful for managing these features.
Our go-to tool for flexible and safer release management!
What do you like best about the product?
One of the standout features is how flexibly and simplicity it lets teams manage releases, whether that's by targeting specific users or gradually rolling out changes to a set percentage of users. This level of control is a significant advantage. I also appreciate being able to add tags to feature flags, which makes it much easier to monitor how many feature flags each team is using.
Another highly valuable capability is tracking the evolution of feature flags evaluations over time. Additionally, having tags that indicate when a flag is ready to be removed or archived is extremely helpful for keeping things organized and tidy.

What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some recent changes to the UI related to the FF archiving process, which have introduced a bit of additional confusion. Other than that, I don't have many issues to report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Launch Darkly to perform continuous releases, keeping everything behind a feature flag, which helps accelerate our development process. Additionally, we rely on it for progressive rollouts, both when introducing new features and when deploying bug fixes. By gradually releasing changes to batches of customers before enabling them for everyone, we ensure a safer and more controlled deployment process overall.

Effortless for Engineering Teams, Clean and Simple Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to use for my engineering teams. Clean and simple user face
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes i think it could be organized better. We have so many different segments its hard to find without saving the specific link. Could be just an us problem though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it largely to grant clients access to certain features or segments and its clean and simple to use
Lightning-Fast Updates and Effortless Custom Logic
What do you like best about the product?
How quick new value updates flow to the user, and how easy it is to add custom logic based on versioning
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no ability to add a static flag, aka it doesn't refresh until app launch. Useful for things such as app theme which you don't want to be truly dynamic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick updates of feature flags, if there's a bug in production we can roll banners out immediately to alert users we are rectifying it
Effortless Feature Management for Nontechnical Users
What do you like best about the product?
I like that LaunchDarkly is really simple to utilize when it comes to adding or removing users from pilot groups. It makes segmenting users easy and scheduling releases is straightforward as well. I appreciate the quick updates that instantly take effect in our code. For someone like me who is not technically inclined, it's been really simple to use and understand. Additionally, my initial setup when I joined the user base was very simple, and I was able to grasp how it works easily. The layout seems simple too, which I find helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that there's a lot of extra typing needed when you have to retype the segment name to make something work. It feels like unnecessary copying and pasting when adding or removing users. It would also be nice if I could take our database and, instead of copying over a user number, associate it with an email ID. I'm not sure if that's a limitation of LaunchDarkly or how we set it up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to manage feature launches and user lists efficiently. It simplifies adding users to pilots and scheduling releases, enabling quick updates in our code. It's user-friendly, even for non-technical people, making it easier to manage segments and ensure targeted feature distribution.
Empowers Feature Management, Needs Better User Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate LaunchDarkly's ability to effectively release features under a feature flag, which allows me to monitor and manage how these changes affect user experience through tracking event frequency. I find it easy to monitor and manage experiments, providing a versatile tool for conducting feature tests and gaining valuable insights. The statistical analysis capabilities are an added benefit, giving me a robust overview of feature impacts and experiment results. These features make LaunchDarkly a highly valuable tool for my team's needs, enhancing our approach to feature management and user experience optimization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it hard to identify if a user is in a particular LaunchDarkly segment within our application. This difficulty makes it very hard to perform analysis beyond event frequency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to release features under a flag, monitor the impact on user experience, and manage experiments easily.
Effortless Feature Management with Powerful Targeting
What do you like best about the product?
I find LaunchDarkly extremely beneficial for our feature flagging needs, as it provides robust feature control and simplifies configurations. I love how easy it is to configure and use, making it straightforward for my team to implement any changes swiftly without much complexity. I particularly appreciate the ability to conduct gradual rollouts, which allows us to manage feature releases efficiently and minimize risk. This capability, paired with the power to gate releases and create targeted configurations, helps us isolate features to specific geographies or user segments, which is crucial for compliance and targeted user experiences. The functionality to create custom segments and tailor targeting rules empowers us to manage our user base with high precision. Additionally, our use of both client and server SDKs with LaunchDarkly enhances our flexibility in deployment across different environments. The initial setup also presented no hurdles for us, as it was pretty simple to understand, reinforcing the platform's user-friendly nature.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the 10,000 user limit on Segments. Even though there is a feature for Big Segments, the migration and usage from standard Segments to Big Segments is not straightforward. Additionally, creating a persistent store in our infrastructure to support Big Segments is an overhead that I find burdensome. This additional requirement is something we just don't want to undertake.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for feature flagging and as a configuration store, enabling controlled feature gating and gradual rollouts to specific regions or user groups. It simplifies complex targeting rules, facilitating compliance with geographical restrictions.
