Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

October 12, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I suggested and implemented Unleash as an A/B testing solution within a large e-commerce site for a client.

Pros

Very easy to implement, elegant SDK design
Great support, very fast response times
Very low runtime impact
Clean and simple solution
Great UI for non-technical people

Cons

We found a bug in the segmentation decision logic, it was fixed very quickly though

Likelihood to Recommend

I would (and will) definitely recommend Unleash to future clients for both their A/B-Testing and feature flagging needs.

Maintaining feature toggle is very simple compared to filesystem

Rating: 10 out of 10

March 15, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it mainly for toggling off unfinished features since we follow trunk based development and use cicd for weekly deployment, we need to disable parts of code which are not ready to be released but have to be deployed anyway. We disable features on backend microservices as well as mobile and web based frontend app. Though we use server sdk for both the purposes.

Pros

Ease of use on Unleash portal
Simple and well documented sdk
Caching done out of the box for toggles
Simple sso integration which makes authentication/ authorisation simple

Cons

can have option to approve change requests without opening Unleash portal through email integration which would be easy for non tech product owners
can have option for generating audit reports with filters to check which toggles were switched on during a particular time window

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are writing apis and you make a logic change for eg change format of a number from showing no decimal points to 2 decimal points, and screen of your older version of ui app does not have enough space on screen which makes the ux break, instead of releasing a new version of the api you can toggle off the feature for app versions lower than the one being targetted so that api keeps responding with zero decimal points for older app and with decimal points for the newer version of the app

Unleash the full capacity of developers

Rating: 10 out of 10

December 20, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My team was struggling with continuous deployment. Since we follow trunk-based development, we always had half-baked code in the main branch. The options we had was to deploy to production only once a month or stop development in trunk based approach. After Unleash, we could just toggle off the part of the code that is incomplete or has not been tested thoroughly. Deploy all code but release only what we have confidence in. We don't now need to worry about rolling back changes or deploying quick fixes after working overnights if something goes wrong. We can just toggle off the feature and depending on the urgency and priority bring the changes at some later point of time.

Pros

it lets me create custom strategies for enabling the toggles
it allows me to setup environment configuration and choose which environments i want the toggle to be enabled
the ui is so simple that it there is no developer dependency left for enabling or disabling toggles. business folks can take such actions on their own

Cons

it currently integrates only with relations database. brings a bit of overhead for teams who do not use relational databases at all

Likelihood to Recommend

while following trunk based development deploying continuously, you can toggle off all unfinished code or features which are not be released so soon
when you need to disable features for mobile app version lower or higher than a specific version
when you need to keep a particular feature enabled for one tenant while disabled for another
