What 53 Arbolus experts think of LaunchDarkly

NPS distribution is weighted positive, with scores from 3 to 10, the majority clustered at the 7-10 range, indicating strong advocacy. Renewal intent is high among large, long-term customers, while cost-sensitive or pilot-stage buyers show some hesitance. Stickiness is notable, with most users in the more than one year implementation stage, and only isolated offboarding signals. Qualitative feedback favors reliability, rollout safety, and audit features, but pricing and technical debt from flag accumulation are main friction points.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive

What customers say

Decoupling Deployment and Release
“LaunchDarkly eliminates the risk of big bang releases by letting us safely merge and deploy unfinished code, only exposing features to users when we're ready.”
Granular, Safe Rollouts
“Feature flags are critical for gradually rolling out new systems, letting us control exposure and gather real feedback with the option to instantly roll back changes if needed.”
Reliable SDKs and Integration
“I rely on LaunchDarkly because the SDKs are solid in every language, flag updates stream quickly, and integrations with Datadog and Jira add significant operational value.”
