Consultant at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
When LaunchDarkly went down, it started using the prior checkout page, which is not as good of a page.
Software Engineer at a consultancy with 51-200 employees

Room For Improvement

Alluvio Aternity requires simpler interfaces, improved custom reporting, flexible licensing, better integrations, and enhanced data visualization features.
Users find LaunchDarkly's integration with GitHub challenging due to complex UI, high costs, poor support, and scalability issues.
The integration of AI agents could enhance these tools further, replacing traditional agents and plugins.
Consultant at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Riverbed can make Alluvio Aternity better by having the same Aternity agent help in security, such as antivirus or EDR, which would be useful, allowing customers to avoid having multiple agents installed on their endpoint machines.
Technical Lead Pre-Sales at M.TECH Solutions India Pvt. Ltd.
Making one feature toggle or one set of feature toggles dependent on another one would allow us to turn them all on or turn them all off at one time.
Staff Software Engineer at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees
In a microservices world, managing flag state changes and propagation across complex or heavily distributed backend architectures can introduce latency or consistency challenges.

The basic true or false Boolean feature flag UI should be very simple and very clear.

Akhilesh Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead Pre-Sales at M.TECH Solutions India Pvt. Ltd.
Monitoring end-user activity has improved visibility into device and application performance
In my opinion, Riverbed can make Alluvio Aternity better by having the same Aternity agent help in security, such as antivirus or EDR, which would be useful, allowing customers to avoid having multiple agents installed on their endpoint machines. Deploying multiple agents can use the processor and utilize memory, so it's better to go with one agent. If one agent can do end-user activity monitoring and act as an EDR, then it would be better for the end-user, allowing easy avoidance of installing multiple agents on their machines.
Raj Kansagra - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at OnePay
Feature flags have transformed our deployments and empower fast, low-risk experimentation
There is definitely a learning curve for new team members when it comes to organizing and cleaning up flags in LaunchDarkly. Once a project scales, managing multiple flags can become cluttered, and performance could degrade if you do not stay on top of deprecating and maintaining the old flags. Having an easier way to do that would be pretty useful.In a microservices world, managing flag state changes and propagation across complex or heavily distributed backend architectures can introduce latency or consistency challenges. While the UI is clean and pretty intuitive, tracking conditional flag modifications across large engineering teams requires more robust historical audit logging.
