Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point
We are using Shippable to automate our CI/CD, so we (and our developers) can focus on our core business.  Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times. The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug…

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

"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."
"Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times."
"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."
"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 appreciate that we can release any feature in production and maintain control over it."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The setup is easy."
"The best feature LaunchDarkly offers is the capability of having a feature flag that we don't have to build in-house."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
"I have used LaunchDarkly for around two and a half years and I haven't faced any issues with it."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"Right now, no improvements are needed."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"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."
"I think LaunchDarkly's customer support can be improved as it is not responsive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."
