Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8

Sentiment score
6.6
LaunchDarkly is generally stable but faces inconsistent infrastructure, occasional downtime, and mixed backend performance perceptions.
 

Room For Improvement

Digital.ai Deploy needs an updated interface and documentation, with improved support due to performance issues and plugin challenges.
LaunchDarkly is costly and complex, with unclear documentation, needing better customer support, UI, control, and analytics enhancements.
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
I did not particularly like the rule area; there are many things to add into the rule to enable it, and I think we could make it easier or more customizable at the organizational level.
Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Digital.ai Deploy's setup costs range from €120k-€170k, with daily maintenance at €500, offering flexible licenses and volume discounts.
Enterprise users have mixed views on LaunchDarkly pricing, citing high costs but some find it fair or customizable.
 

Valuable Features

Digital.ai Deploy streamlines complex deployments with "One Click" processes, extensibility, compliance management, and integration with multiple server environments.
LaunchDarkly provides efficient feature flags for faster deployment, gradual rollouts, and user-friendly API integration, enhancing operational efficiency.
Some of the more impressive and useful functionality are the targeted feature toggling, as well as different segments that allow very specific targeting of users and context, with the ability to get very granular and complex with feature toggling rules.
Staff Software Engineer at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees
LaunchDarkly stands out due to its ease of use, deployability across environments, and the ability to easily toggle features, which are all beneficial qualities.

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.
