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.
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.
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.

Solid tools. Allowed us to deploy more safely.
Flags were a valuable tool to safely deploy with many teams working on the same stack.
No real issues with the software. I view the product as mature.

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.
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.

Deployment volumes are significantly increased in our organization and easy to manage.
Reporting , analyzing and integration is much easy and end user efficacy is high while working with LD API.
Overall nothing ti point out dark side of LD software

- integration was very simple - very reliable, never went down on us
- the flags can be confusing from time to time but it seems to be a use case issue.

Overall, has been a great experience working with LaunchDarkly and making use of Feature flags was never this easy.
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.
Roles assignments could have been a little more fine grained.

Its’s easy to manage feature flags across multiple application environments, from development to production.
If you want simple Boolean flags per environment, the available configuration options are a bit confusing or overwhelming at first.

Straight forward platform and easy to use Dashboard broken down by sections make the overall scalability manageable for any size organization.
Would like to see button on the flag in the tree view that provides overview similar to dashboard - across the environments.
