Featured Reviews

Raj Kansagra - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at OnePay
Feature flags have transformed our deployments and empower fast, low-risk experimentation
There is definitely a learning curve for new team members when it comes to organizing and cleaning up flags in LaunchDarkly. Once a project scales, managing multiple flags can become cluttered, and performance could degrade if you do not stay on top of deprecating and maintaining the old flags. Having an easier way to do that would be pretty useful.In a microservices world, managing flag state changes and propagation across complex or heavily distributed backend architectures can introduce latency or consistency challenges. While the UI is clean and pretty intuitive, tracking conditional flag modifications across large engineering teams requires more robust historical audit logging.
Jog Raj - PeerSpot reviewer

Automated lineage and business glossaries have improved data understanding and collaboration
I am open to answering a few questions about erwin Data Intelligence and sharing my opinion about the product. Regarding the analytic part of the product, I find it very interesting that erwin Data Intelligence has its own inbuilt reporting toolset, with a new version coming out in January that will be AI-powered. This means you will be able to write analytical reports and questions based on the metadata and data lineage, making it more powerful than the current version, as AI will assist in creating those reports and performing analysis on the metadata. I find that the time taken to realize value from erwin Data Intelligence can be quite long. Creating a data catalog and developing data lineage takes significant time, and I expect that AI will help accelerate the process of creating data products by streamlining the steps involved. I can recommend erwin Data Intelligence to other users. I would rate this review as an eight out of ten overall.
