it_user3024 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager of Operations at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
Simple to use but incredibly powerful
Great for rapid root cause, data is presented back in a way that is easy for non technical stakeholders to absorb (DBAs, Cap Analysts, testers, developers, application support), easy deployment on Oracle and SQL systems. Trending all SQL statements over time is invaluable to understand step changes. i.e is this slow because it is processing more or because an explain plan has changed.Dashboards and reports are very powerful.
reviewer2769948 - PeerSpot reviewer
Staff Software Engineer at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Pros

"Great for rapid root cause, data is presented back in a way that is easy for non technical stakeholders to absorb (DBAs, Cap Analysts, testers, developers, application support), easy deployment on Oracle and SQL systems."
"Gives an excellent perspective on the state of the system at fault as well as the past!"
"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"The setup is easy."
"I appreciate that we can release any feature in production and maintain control over it."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"LaunchDarkly has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to confidently ship products across different environments, knowing we can easily turn off any feature that faces issues."
 

Cons

"The user interface requires little change-but this problem is small compared to the capabilities of the tool"
"Web monitoring could be more robust and intuitive."
"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."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"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."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"Right now, no improvements are needed."
