" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 5, 2026 The support has been good and the team that assisted us in our setup was very helpful. We have been very happy with the results and are increasing our use of the product. Pros LaunchDarkly is a great tool to manage the feature flags in your source code. We have used it to manage the different parts of our SAAS product. It is very simple \[sensitive content hidden\] manage the actual feature flags and you can manage it to an environment like Dev/Test/Prod with different criteria. With the simple to use interface our Product management team is able to manage the feature flags and manage the rollout of the feature. The UI has full auditing and control for the management of the flags. Cons As with any code based feature flags at some point the code is now released and you have to determine if you will take the feature flag calls to LaunchDarkly when fully released.
