502 LaunchDarkly Reviews
LaunchDarkly has allowed us to deploy code into production on a regular basis and then enable release on demand to different segments of our customers (or all of them) on our schedule and not when the code is deployed. If something is wrong, instead of spending costly time rolling things back we can simply turn off the feature flag and hide the error from our customers and then fix it behind the scenes. This allow allows us to test it in production without impacting production. Highly recommend taking the steps needed to enable feature flags in your code and then utlizing LaunchDarkly to quickly manage who can see what in your applications.

The only thing that would be nice to have in LaunchDarkly would be a one click button after something was approved for rollback that would quickly undo what was done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As Head of Data Science at Laurel, I love how easy it is to set up and manage A/B tests with LaunchDarkly. It’s enabled our team to quickly spin up experiments, evaluate impact, and scale what works — all without heavy engineering lift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s not easy to define custom metrics, especially when the denominator isn’t a simple user count. For example, setting up ratio-based metrics tied to events or domain-specific units (like entries or sessions) takes extra work and isn’t well-documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've heard engineers talk about how easy it is for them to put new features behind a feature flag in Launch Darkly. From the product side, its super easy to create segments of users. This has improved the way we manage our Alpha, Beta, and GA releases. I'm currently leading a huge intiative at the moment; I can not imagine doing this effectively without LD.

Their zapier integration is limited. We were attempting to completely automate our beta process leveraging Launch Darkly + Hubspot forms. We failed to do so because LD's zapier integration doesn't support Segments. We are exploring leveraging their public API to build a custom solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Seamless-ness of setting up feature flags, and SDKs that work well across different platforms.
the results section gives some intuitive overviews and analytics based on simple to set up metrics.
Our organization uses this service very often and we conduct 2-3 experiments simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation can lack technical clarity sometimes which can lead to a lot of support time with the customer representatives. But they were very helpful. Very costly and the pricing model is a bit strange. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
User splitting is very clear and the dashboard is clean, easy to use, and the SDKs work well across platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the SDK setup feels a bit complex, particularly with multiple environments and custom contexts. The documentation, while detailed, could be clearer with more real-world examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Allowing business users to field-test new features in production before enabling them for clients.
2. Enabling gradual rollouts for high-risk features, minimizing potential impact if issues arise.
3. Decoupling feature releases from development and deployment, so developers can merge tested features while product teams control when they go live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really. It does good job managing feature flags. We only use it for feature flags, so can't comment on other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a PM, I've appreciated the ease of use when setting up experiments and viewing results across multiple treatment groups, metrics and experiments running in parallel. I am looking forward to more data vis for results in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
An improvement would be providing the ability to preview the experiment control and treatment groups natively before going live as a final quality assurance measure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. It's a great tool for toggling features.
2. You can easily roll out or block a feature for specific customers without any hassle.
3. I use it daily, and it works smoothly with minimal impact on API latency.
4. Setting up a new LD flag takes only a minute.
5. It provides a rich SDK to integrate with Launch Darkly easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing as such. Segments and Release features can be simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have been using Launchdarkly feature flags for about 3 years now. We have been using them to run experiments, or as kill switches for various features. I would say, that they are straightforward to use. One thing that I like is how LaunchDarkly creates an event stream with the user's browser, and the value of the feature flag gets updated on all the clients as soon as you update the value of the feature flag.
We use it for almost every new feature that we build in the product, and we have easily integrated it with our MobX Library that is used for global state management, and it makes the integration even more simpler for the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The new UI that LaunchDarkly recently launched for feature flagging is not something that I like, I had built muscle memory for using the tool hence it has become a little tough for me to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use of creating flags that are separating our feature rollouts from deployment is the largest factor of our use case. Implementation is a simple library and we're able to integrate it into each of our apps easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are still some cultural issues of utilizing LD's flags when we probably didn't need to which adds more complexity to a system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
