Pros
Ease of Use, excellent documentation, toggle of feature flags and API calls are way simplified than other tools can offer. And the support team was exceptionally helpful when needed.
We have been very pleased with LaunchDarkly and besides being able to turn off a feature in a split second, the ease of use to roll out features in multiple ways has provided a lot of value for us.
The insights graph is fantastic at showing the variants that users are receiving and allows you to identify when a flag is ready to be removed.
Cons
The flags can be confusing from time to time but it seems to be a use case issue.
In the event of bugs, we can quickly hide a feature until those bugs are addressed.
If you want simple Boolean flags per environment, the available configuration options are a bit confusing or overwhelming at first.

LaunchDarkly makes continuous delivery using flags a breeze

Reviewed 3 years ago

We use LaunchDarkly to decouple Deployment and Release. We can focus on testing with the flag off initially - this should prove that the new code is not being called and existing functionality has not regressed. We can then be confident that master can be deployed to production at any time with the flag off without causing any problems. Once we have tested flag off we can focus on testing flag on to ensure the functionality is working. Once we are happy, we can then release the flag at whatever time suits the team and the business, and it is a non issue as there are no code deployments at release time.

Pros

Being able to easily target individual or groups of users for internal or external testing is very powerful. Being able to quickly change these targeting rules, and the new feature of change requests to allow your change to be reviewed before being applied is great from a process point of view. The insights graph is fantastic at showing the variants that users are receiving and allows you to identify when a flag is ready to be removed.

Cons

Some functionality like User Segments is very powerful but only available in the enterprise licence. The change request functionality is only optional at this time and cannot be enforced - ideally we would want changes to rules in production to only be allowed once they have been reviewed.

Reach for the stars with LaunchDarkly

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

Feature flagging is such a game changer and LaunchDarkly make it so easy. The UI and logic is incredibly easy to navigate and follow. Giving us the ability to test in production is huge and made such a difference to our production development.

Cons

The API's are a little cumbersome to get our head around with the response properties not as clear as they could be. However once you have got your head around the terminology it is all good.

LaunchDarkly is very helpful in test driven software developments.

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

The most I like about the launch darkly is feature flag management. We can implement the launch darkly in our code when we are working on a agile methodology, it is easy to use the feature flags as it keeps track of your codebase with each and every feature development.

Cons

Nothing I dislike about launch darkly as such. But when we are using a feature flag during production code deployment. More security features would be helpful.

A great feature flag tool!

Reviewed 7 months ago
Pros

Easy to use for developers and friendly, being used in backend front and mobile - SDK are nice to use

Cons

Flag depreciation could be much better if we had more details for the flags and calls. Also there could be a automation to help and encourage the FF depreciation
