Offers a great reporting experience, with much customization and flexibility in extracting reports but it can be more user-friendly
My experience indicates that it needs enhancements in the UI. We are in 2024, and the GUI doesn't meet current expectations for user interfaces or Excel integration. Mainly, CA Service Desk has such a bad user interface. All features and systems, like servers, should have a modern graphical user interface, but CA Service Desk remains classic and still uses a desktop-based interface. It doesn't add features easily; if you need additional functionality, you have to go through many steps. Competitors like ServiceNow, Micro Focus SMAX, and ManageEngine all have better user interfaces. This is the main solution that needs improvement. I am very satisfied with the modeling systems, the grid, and the existing features, except for the graphical user interface.

Has increased developer confidence by enabling safe production releases using targeted feature toggles
I wish we were using more targeting in our feature toggles and I wish we were using more feature toggles as well as feature toggle dependencies. 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. For improvements in LaunchDarkly, managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members. It made it challenging to orchestrate team member management. The other aspect I wasn't particularly fond of was when they started adding AI to the interface and deployment interface. It reminded me of old school wizards when installing software and simplified the interface too much, removing some of the engineering control I preferred.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"All solutions from Broadcom are very easy to install."
"The documentation and the technical support are both quite good."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The setup is easy."
"These features in my current project have helped my team because they allow us to specifically target users to start turning on functionality, we can monitor the behavior and make sure that it's behaving as expected when the feature toggle is turned on, and then we can increase the usage."
"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"LaunchDarkly has positively impacted my organization as the value we deliver to customers is much faster, and we saved a lot by using this feature instead of implementing it ourselves."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
 

Cons

"They lack support and presence in Egypt."
"The UI could be better. When I look at the dashboard, for example, the information looks cluttered and unorganized."
"There is still a lot of improvement that is needed in terms of stability. We figured out that it was not able to monitor or offer some forms of self-service capabilities."
"I think LaunchDarkly's customer support can be improved as it is not responsive."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"Right now, no improvements are needed."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"I don't see any return on investment; I work in the platform team that has to manage the LaunchDarkly infrastructure, and I can't really see any return on investment."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. So, it is rather cheap."
