Room For Improvement

LaunchDarkly is costly and complex, with unclear documentation, needing better customer support, UI, control, and analytics enhancements.
Users seek Sentry improvements in integrations, analytics, customization, interface, debugging, personalization, mapping, documentation, and cloud capabilities.
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
Integrations or single sign-on capability with Microsoft would be beneficial for securing all assets.
Founding Member at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users have mixed views on LaunchDarkly pricing, citing high costs but some find it fair or customizable.
Sentry offers flexible, cost-effective pricing with easy plan transitions and customizable options for enterprise users.
Compared to New Relic, it provides the necessary features at a cheaper cost, especially since we moved infrastructure monitoring to Azure.

Valuable Features

LaunchDarkly provides efficient feature flags for faster deployment, gradual rollouts, and user-friendly API integration, enhancing operational efficiency.
Sentry provides robust error management, performance monitoring, and seamless integration with platforms, enhancing developer collaboration and application 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.
Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Real-time error tracking helps our Quality Assurance team easily identify the root causes of problems or bugs and promptly inform the developers about specific issues.
Founding Member at a tech services company with 51-200 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.

Real-time error tracking assists the QA team in swiftly identifying and reporting bugs
One of the greatest advantages of Sentry is its support for Azure Web Services, which New Relic does not support. Sentry integrates with common developer communication platforms like Discord and WhatsApp, which allows developers to easily track notifications and findings in the applications. Real-time error tracking helps our Quality Assurance team easily identify the root causes of problems or bugs and promptly inform the developers about specific issues.
