"LaunchDarkly is a great feature driven development version control tool."
What do you like best about LaunchDarkly?

LaunchDarkly is the most used tool when working with multi level feature changes. The feature flag creation is one of the primary feature of launch darkly which is widely used in our projects. Implementaion is great with this tool when working on mutliple changes in one feature, it helps to save much time and leads you to the smooth develoment.

What do you dislike about LaunchDarkly?

Nothing I dislike about the launch darkly. But when we create a feature flags individually, its difficult to deploy the code in production environment. So the common feature flag with the collobrative environment when the team is working on the same code branch and with much more security feature would he great helful.

What problems is LaunchDarkly solving and how is that benefiting you?

LaunchDarkly has much more advantages and it is benifiting many users in our team. It helps you to work on one single code base branch instaed of handling many with help of feature flag creation. By creating and integrating the launch darkly, it help to keep track of changes and monitorseach and every changes in the new code written, compares with old version and renders conditionally. Hence it increases productivity and saves time to work effectively.

"Launch Darkly makes turning features on / off seamless"
What do you like best about LaunchDarkly?

Launch Darkly allows you to use custom json to provide literally any type of flag you want down to your client. You can provide a whole configuration for a user, making it easier than even making a user profile for some simple apps.

What do you dislike about LaunchDarkly?

They update their APIs very often and deprecate them shockingly fast (especially given most have some kind of breaking change). I would like longer windows of older supported APIs.

What problems is LaunchDarkly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Launch Darkly allows me to beta test features, hidden from general consumption. This allows me to push features continuously without having to worry about everyone seeing work in progress.

"An Amazing tool which gives you control over the release new features to the users."
What do you like best about LaunchDarkly?

It is very easy to create "feature flag" and can be consumed on both front-end and backend with there SDK key. If multiple developers are working on same project each of them can create a separate feature flag to work and test while development.

What do you dislike about LaunchDarkly?

I didn't find any major dislike. Handling multiple feature flag on production may be tedious if you are doing pre-alpha, alpha, beta or full-fledge release to the users of your application.

What problems is LaunchDarkly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Launch darkly is an amazing tool which helps to develop new features with the help of there "feature flags" without hampering the older features and with the help of "feature flags" you can deploy the feature to fewer users of your application to test the feature and once every thing works as your expectation you can release it to the wider audience and if you are not getting result of your expecation you simply toggle off the "feature flag" to just to remove it from the application.

"LaunchDarkly is an amazing product to use for any work we do following agile methodology."
What do you like best about LaunchDarkly?

The "feature flags" creation for any design and development of the product. Each individual working on same project can crete their respective feature flag and that makes the development environment faster. .

What do you dislike about LaunchDarkly?

Nothing as such. But by creating a different feature flag. Its good if we can create with their own respective ID. Because when we move to production we have to change the other peoples created feature flag into one single name.

What problems is LaunchDarkly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its keeps track of different features and changes in the design of the product with one single codebase branch. Its like a verison control system for the product featutre level. It helps the team to work on one sigle branch and avoid the conflicts.

"Great tool for managing deployment risk for new builds"
What do you like best about LaunchDarkly?

The ability to both control percentage rollouts on new features and manage new feature development work in a safe way. We are able to easily run internal beta, early access, and the GA rollout plans as a result of the LD capabilities. Regional controls also are a boon to development.

What do you dislike about LaunchDarkly?

I can't get the getting started menu to disappear without completing all the tasks even if I don't want to complete them. Otherwise, I've had no issues with the product / platform. It's been a great tool for our development and product management org.

What problems is LaunchDarkly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Targeting individual orgs with new capabilities for QA / Testing purposes

Cross-region rollouts

Partial roll outs

running internal beta programs

running early-access programs with customers

"Very necessary for experimentation oriented teams"
What do you like best about LaunchDarkly?

When integration is done successfully, you are free to explore your hipothesis with the safety of a solid feature flag system. The best part of it is that all changes are imediate. You can select who will be affected by your changes and easily set them across multiple deployment environments. That really allow for great speed, specially if the whole business has the understanding that you can experiment without many risks! Deploying on weekends is no longer a problem.

What do you dislike about LaunchDarkly?

There is a price to everything, and LaunchDarkly will (fairly) charge you for the feature flags that you forget to archive. Of course, forgetting feature flags is bad by itself, so you will have one more reason to clean up after your experiments.

What problems is LaunchDarkly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Releasing features risk free, to selected audiences and allowing us to continuous deliver without worrying that our features or fixes can break production. It's also possible to integrate LD with a multitude of services, allowing you fine control over your deployments.
