LaunchDarkly Reviews

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

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

Easy to use, it has % roll outs, very easy to target whatever you want. Best in class “boolean as a service”.

Nothing that comes to my mind that would be a con to LD

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.

Launchdarkly is so easy to learn, and really easy to setup, at least with react and nodeJs. It has helped our development speed by a lot.

Nothing to dislike really. Haven't found anything that I'm missing so far. Better integration to Segment would be nice to have.

We adopted this last year and its been working well so far.

Cost is probably a consideration for this.

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.

Very easy for product managers and non technical people to easily deploy feature flags for some customers.

Still requires a network call when first loaded which can increase response times on APIs

LaunchDarkly makes it very easy to develop and deploy new features in small steps without worrying about its impact on your production environment. By being able to hide new features behind feature flags, you can employ a Work In Progress development model, allowing you to develop features with a continuous delivery method in mind

It can be a bit tricky to implement the provider into your React application but once its established, using the LaunchDarkly hook couldn't be simpler

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

Fast setup, easy to learn interface, fast toggle of features

Limited seats for developers/PMs/designers

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.

Great for rolling out features slowly for beta testing in production.

The pricing is expensive to get enough users to make auditing sensible. Thats fine while we are developing but once we fully go to production we will need to pay a lot more money to get value from it.

The customer support team is very hands on. Useful and customizable features

I do not have any complaints, the team does a great job helping me with any gaps

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.

Great software overall! Speeds up the development process and increases code quality at the same time.

Works perfectly for us, no issues were experienced.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

* Being able to test in production using labels - before go live we can test in production * Being able to turn off a feature in a split second if there are issues. In some cases, we can revert back to an older working version of the feature * Being able to use percentage rollout. * Being able to rollout to certain markets and not all.

* Certain ease of use features for large projects with lots of feature toggles - like bulk copy/delete etc... * Pricing model

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.
