Flagship.io vs. LaunchDarkly

The Flagship technical teams are always available and reactive to help us with our problems. The onboarding provided by the teams was very smooth. The interface is easy to use and very user-friendly. The feature flag management and progressive roll-out are features that are very useful/helpful, but it is still something that requires some more onboarding in our teams for it to become an important part of our processes.

Great for rolling out features slowly for beta testing in production. I would say it is less well suited for toggling features permanently for users as this requires more integration with our backend and billing systems that would be a lot of work to set up.

• Interface is very user friendly
• Technical support always available and helpful
• Feature flag management and Progressive roll-out

• Feature Flag Management: It's like magic. With a flip of a switch, you can manage feature rollouts to visitors or accounts across the web and mobile applications!
• Segmentation: Create a segment of visitors or accounts and then use that to target a feature flag rule. Really easy to use and saves so much time.
• Ease of Use: Seamless copy/paste functionality, really clear status indicators so you can find what is on and for whom.

Incentivized

• Collectively improve Flutter compatibility and integration

• It would be nice to see a feature flag's settings against all environments at once.
• It would be to have a "array" type flag for related but different settings (eg, enableA and enableB could be enable: [a, b]).
• It would be nice have customizable columns on the Users page (eg, if I want to inject a new meta data).

It fits out business case

It's very easy to create new feature flags and set them properly. It is more difficult to get LaunchDarkly integrated within a distributed system so that flags can be used. Especially on stateless servers where gating features by user is not easy. Overall though, it is very easy to get started and I like how simple it is to use.

No issue with availability at all

From what I have seen, LaunchDarkly integrates well with your code and also services you might have in your tech ecosystem. We use Jenkins for automation and we were able to use it to build pipelines to automate the control of LaunchDarkly toggles in our code.

The overall support is very responsive

Yes I do.

Rollout is another dedicated feature flag tool that can be used to manage features. LaunchDarkley offers all the features of an enterprise level tool, unlike Rollout, reserves the security features for the Enterprise plan. Out of box integrations are limited but they do have a well documented REST API.

The platform didn't go down since we implemented it

Incentivized

• We have not yet implemented enough use cases to be able to mention the return on investment but we are working towards constructing more use cases to be able to work on this aspect.

• Improved developer experience with some teams moving to Trunk-based Development.
• Increased deployment frequency due to smaller code releases.
• Validation of the technical and business value of work is achieved more quickly through smaller pieces of work and through experimenting with a small group of users before a feature gets to 100% of customers.
