Love the UI: Clean, Intuitive, and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very good and convenient. It feels like Git, but for configuration changes, which makes it really convenient to use
What do you dislike about the product?
I receive emails about every change, and I feel the review group is too broad
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems it solves for me are mainly being able to change configuration without any code changes, and being able to see which feature flags are enabled for each organization.
Granular Targeting with Improved Feature Control
What do you like best about the product?
I like the granular targeting capabilities of LaunchDarkly. Using custom rich contexts helps us to specifically target users not only by their user and tenant but by other non-trivial properties that we collect on the endpoint. This feature is incredibly valuable for rolling out feature flags and configuration for sensitive features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the lack of crypto-signature support in LaunchDarkly. I would appreciate a feature allowing the signing of feature flag responses, either BYOK or signing with a LaunchDarkly private key.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for the rollout of feature flags and configuration for sensitive features. It helps us manage feature exposure to different customers based on their novelty appetite and serves as a kill switch during disasters. The granular targeting with custom rich contexts is particularly valuable.
Time-Saving Feature Management with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to integrate LaunchDarkly into our app, even in a complex enterprise Angular application. The straightforward implementation and creation of new feature flags save us a lot of time and effort, allowing new feature flags to be created in just minutes. I appreciate the well-designed dashboard, offering plenty of metrics to evaluate statistics for each flag. It's clear to see the state of each flag at any given time, which helps avoid mistakes. The organization of the dashboard into projects makes it easy to manage a large number of flags. What I like most is the rapid toggling response; changes reflect in the app in just 3-5 seconds after saving. We've also had a smooth experience with no server downtime during tests. I first heard about LaunchDarkly from a teammate and found it to be incredibly likable from the start. The initial setup was straightforward, and with just a Confluence article and a short call, we had it fully integrated in under two days. I rate it a 10 for its time-saving feature flagging and other capabilities, even those I haven't explored yet.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that comes to my mind is to improve the possibility to completely get rid of feature flags created by mistake. I've only found the options to archive or deprecate it. But in some projects could be dozens of flags, and not necessarily all of the are required... so it would be nice to be able to delete them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to control access and visibility of features without redeploying, which saves time. It allows almost real-time changes to feature flags, eliminating the need for backend development or hardcoding values.
Effortless Feature Management, Needs Better Slack Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like using LaunchDarkly because it's easy to use, fast, and cool. It helps me open features for specific customers based on a particular timeframe or need. I appreciate picking a group or audience using a UUID to identify accounts and then enabling the relevant flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Slack integration was better, and I could ask directly from there using AI. If I can tell the LD bot on Slack to open a feature flag for a customer, and it would find the UUID and do it for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps me open features for certain customers at specific times. I can pick a group using UUIDs and enable the necessary flags easily and quickly.
Effective Feature Management, Needs Better User Debugging
What do you like best about the product?
I like LaunchDarkly's interface and the ability to set different audiences. I also appreciate that it supports not just boolean values, but different types of data. Additionally, the initial setup was fine with easy-to-follow documentation and guides.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's very hard to compare different variants at the same time to debug issues or get all the flags for a given audience across the flags in a single environment. For example, I want to check how a single user or single entity has all the flags for the production environment, but I'm not sure how to get that data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to roll out features gradually without breaking everything, providing confidence and control.
Streamlined Feature Flag Management with Comprehensive Docs
What do you like best about the product?
I really liked that the documentation was great with LaunchDarkly. I had to implement a custom flag based on database values and the examples and docs helped me accomplish this without prior experience with LaunchDarkly. I also found the setup and configuration that I did to be straightforward. Additionally, the platform made easier the tasks we previously handled with database settings and internal tool configurations. For more common tasks, it looks pretty easy to use from the UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to dig a bit in the docs to find what I needed. I also leveraged AI to find others who had done similar tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to enable features on an account basis and effortlessly toggle features on or off. It simplifies our previous process, which relied on database settings and internal configurations.
Safe, Targeted Rollouts with Clear UI and Audit History
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to roll out changes safely, targeting specific users, doing gradual rollouts, and instantly rolling back if something looks off. The UI is clear and the audit/history makes it easy to track what changed and why.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can feel a bit complex at first especially with lots of flags and rules and it’s easy for flags to pile up if you don’t stay on top of cleanup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us ship changes more safely by separating releases from deployments. We can roll out features gradually, target specific users/segments, and quickly turn things off if there’s an issue so we reduce risk, move faster, and troubleshoot incidents without rushing hotfix deployments.
Custom Attributes Are a Game-Changer for Flexible Flag Control
What do you like best about the product?
Custom attributes for me personally is a game changer, as it allows us to control flags based on a range of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI/UX experience is not the best. It can be quite confusing to get started with LD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us it's making it possible to deploy often without worrying about breaking the user experience.
Enhanced Feature Control with User-Friendly Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that LaunchDarkly offers a better UX compared to Taplytics, both in the SDK and the dashboard. I particularly like that when editing a flag, the change does not apply until I click 'save changes.' Taplytics, about 2 years ago, didn't have that feature and would apply my changes as soon as I made them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think UX can be improved in managing many feature flags in an experiment. I don't think I can intuitively understand what experiment (a feature flag parent or group) this current feature flag I'm looking at is grouped with. With multiple feature flags being turned on, I would love to be able to see a diagram or graph that shows the entire branches of what flags we have set up and its traffic status.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to control features and experiments, solving feature experimentation and monitoring usage stats for each feature flag.
Essential Tool for Granular Feature Management
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is how flexible and precise it is with feature gating. I use it to control access to different parts of our platform, and it’s easy to target features by individual users, email domains, or specific groups. That level of control lets us roll out changes safely, test things with the right audiences, and avoid unnecessary risk. It’s become a really valuable part of how we ship and manage features, and I’d absolutely recommend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn’t much I dislike about LaunchDarkly. Like any tool, it can take some time to fully understand and use all of its capabilities, but once you’re familiar with it, it works very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us avoid all-or-nothing releases. We use it for granular feature gating so we can control who sees what and roll features out gradually instead of flipping a big switch for everyone. That makes releases safer, reduces risk, and gives us more control over how changes reach users.
