*Deploy safer + faster*

- *Separate code deploys from releases*: Ship code to production multiple times a day, but only turn features on when product is ready. No more “big bang” releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t dislike anything about launchdarkly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LaunchDarkly has been critical for provisioning and managing access to a beta program at scale. It allows us to selectively enable features for specific customer cohorts without manual work or separate environments. This makes it much easier to run a structured beta, gather feedback safely, and iterate without impacting our broader customer base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s an initial learning curve when setting up flags and defining targeting rules, especially if multiple teams are involved. Clear ownership and documentation are important to get the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to toggle features on and off without redeploying, which makes managing rollouts across tenants super convenient from one place. Flag targeting per environment is straightforward and easy to manage. The initial setup was fairly easy; the SDK setup was quick, and the documentation was clear enough to get flags running without much friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can feel cluttered when managing a large number of flags, and cleaning up stale flags is more manual than it should be. Better filtering and search to find specific flags quickly when the list is long. Automatic flagging of stale or unused flags would help with cleanup instead of tracking them manually.

The experience, it's incredibly easy to use. The dashboard is super intuitive, easy to follow once you get familiar with it. The integration as well, is very easy and straightforward. Implementing flags in LD is about as easy as it gets. Just install the SDK, initialize with api key, and you're ready to use feature flags. Documentation is very detailed, just follow along when confused.

Favorite part about LD - how much better life is with testing. It very easy to manage flags based on environments. This is useful when testing and if ever in the event something is wrong in production, it's very easy to kill it with the flagging system. The targeting rules -- being able to segment users based on their attributes makes gradual rollouts very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really not much to dislike about LD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LaunchDarkly provides fine-grained control over features and configurations, allowing us to make changes without the need for redeployments or causing downtime. This flexibility lets us experiment safely, introduce updates gradually, and address issues as they arise in real time. Thanks to local flag evaluation and minimal impact on performance, we can innovate more quickly while still ensuring system stability and delivering a great user experience.

While LaunchDarkly offers robust capabilities as a feature management platform, it can become challenging to handle as the number of flags and environments increases. Teams that are new to feature flagging may face a learning curve, and keeping flags well-organized demands consistent effort and discipline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like LaunchDarkly because it's very, very easy to use. We can accomplish a lot with just a few clicks. It allows us to ship faster, creating a new feature flag quickly and enabling or disabling it based on different rules without affecting everyone. This speed and efficiency are truly valuable. The initial setup was very quick and straightforward thanks to the solid documentation, which makes deploying on both the front end and back end very fast and without too much trouble.

It can get a little expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Feature flags work well, and it’s an intuitive platform for engineers to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Enterprise Pricing for simple features:

• Custom roles – we can grant everyone write access to staging while keeping prod read-only for most users.

• Approval workflows – prod flag changes require a second person to sign off before they take effect.

It would have cost us $11,000/year, which is a significant amount of money for a small company like ours. The account manager initially offered a lower price of $6,000/year, but then almost doubled it when it came time to sign the contract. That experience has led us to reevaluate whether we’ll continue using LaunchDarkly going forward. The unclear enterprise pricing and the shifting numbers and slight unprofessionalism left a sour taste in our mouth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find LaunchDarkly very beginner-friendly, which is great for easing the learning curve. Its low latency updates are extremely useful, especially when I need to instantly turn off a feature flag to disable faulty code, preventing issues with minimal delay. I also appreciate the full control it offers for A/B testing, allowing for detailed customization of how a feature looks to different users. The initial setup was very straightforward, and overall, LaunchDarkly serves me well with the analytics info it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One additional good feature would be to be able to see the full audit history trail of how a feature flag was changed over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that LaunchDarkly is very easy to use. You just inject it into your code, create a flag, and use it for controlled access to features. It's super fast, enabling or disabling features instantly when I toggle them. I also like subscribing to the flag change feature, which is a nice touch. Although there's a minor learning curve initially, once you get familiar with it, working with LaunchDarkly becomes super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's honestly nothing that i dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find LaunchDarkly very intuitive and easy to navigate. You can create flags easily, and editing them is just as simple. Even new users can quickly understand how it works. Being able to easily add or remove functionalities on a live product is invaluable. We release new features at least twice a month, and having the agility to turn flags off for various reasons in a very efficient way makes LaunchDarkly the best partner for software development. It was our first go-to and it keeps rocking it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that could be improved is the archived flags- right now there is no fast way to bulk reactivate flags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
