LaunchDarkly Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Staff Software Engineer at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees4.0I've used LaunchDarkly for years primarily for feature toggling, finding its targeting and stability excellent, though managing team access is tricky. It's powerful and reliable, but I wish it were more affordable for smaller companies.
Principal Technical Program Manager at ChowNow4.5I use LaunchDarkly primarily for risk-free releases and targeted customer experiences, with extensive A/B testing capabilities. Its intuitive UI offers robust controls and configuration options, though managing numerous feature flags can be cumbersome and requires some technical experience.
Works at a retailer with 51-200 employees3.5We utilized LaunchDarkly for feature flagging in our e-commerce platform, greatly enhancing deployment speed and flexibility. However, it lacks multi-region support, requires improved user-friendliness, and presents challenges for non-technical users with its dashboard.
Frontend Developer at Prodapt4.0I use LaunchDarkly for feature toggling in our Appysuit application at Windstream, enjoying its user-friendly interface and impressive API integration without any issues in over two years. I haven't used or considered other solutions, relying on our current cloud provider.
Senior Software Engineer at Carnera4.5Our developers use LaunchDarkly to manage features effectively, and I appreciate the recent update for comprehensive control. The service allows managing features online, with little room for improvement, except for exploring interdependent feature flags further.
Team Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.5I use LaunchDarkly for feature flag implementation, which enhances product release control and visibility. It allows remote management if issues arise, saving time on deployments. While it could improve with analytics, it surpasses past custom solutions in ease and reliability.
Associate at Cognizant3.5We use LaunchDarkly to manage feature flags, which effectively controls user screen views. I appreciate its flag control capabilities, although it requires experience to use, and the initial setup is challenging. Occasionally, it experiences breakdowns, earning it a seven out of ten.
Module lead at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees3.5I've been using LaunchDarkly for over a year to facilitate project management without multiple builds. Its ability to deactivate flags is essential for avoiding unfinished tasks reaching clients. Currently, I find no improvements necessary, although future analyses might change this.
