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.

Real-time analytics and alerts improve application performance and network operations
OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless. Its real-time analytics, integrated with LiveNX, allow me to monitor business-critical applications and set up alerts for application performance issues. This centralized dashboard and alert system is highly valuable for maintaining network operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
"I appreciate that we can release any feature in production and maintain control over it."
"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."
"The setup is easy."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."
"OmniPeek shows the entire packet flow and structure, particularly in security-related scenarios, whereas Wireshark sometimes fails to capture all packets."
"The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot."
"The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly."
"I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching."
"OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless."
"This is a good product; I would recommend and encourage people to use it because it has helped me a lot in the field."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."
 

Cons

"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"I have used LaunchDarkly for around two and a half years and I haven't faced any issues with it."
"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."
"LaunchDarkly can be improved by managing old flags. We have an issue with old flags; it became very messy very fast and we need to be very disciplined about managing these flags."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly."
"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."
"Sometimes setting up the filters for the product is difficult, and I can't quickly sharpen them from the home screen."
"OmniPeek needs to improve its performance level."
"Centralized management of configurations needs improvement."
"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."
"OmniPeek doesn't support Linux or Unix installations, which prompted the shift to Wireshark."
