What do you like best about ConfigCat?

- We liked that instead of having a seat based pricing model, ConfigCat just has different packages, but all can have unlimited users. This makes pricing predictable and the product guilt-free to use with larger teams, where some members might need to use the platform very often, while others only few times a quarter or etc.

- Also having the free tier available to test everything out before commiting was crucial. During that testing period it was also very clear that their support is top-notch, always responding quickly and being there to guide us. The support materials they provide are also super helpful and the wide range of differnt SDK-s makes implementation easy.

- Commitment to initiative like OpenFeature shows that they are serious and ready to be industry leader in Feature Flagging.

- In terms of their product, we like the privacy and security focus and having ability to run proxies in our own infrastructure - this was a crucial element what we needed from a feature flagging platform and it has enabled us to use feature flagging platform without compromising our SLA-s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

- The UI and UX in general could be improved. The platform is mostly used by developers, so it has not been a big issue, but people outside engineering struggle.

- We rely on many custom targeting attributes and its currently not easy to manage those, as these need to typed in manually several times, leading to typos and other silly mistakes

- Flag change review process in currently missing

- Missing integrations with product analytics tools like Heap and Planhat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConfigCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing us to separate deployments from releases. Also allows us to gradually release a feature to users. Enables to do more controlled feature releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConfigCat?

ConfigCat is easy to use and has been rock solid for us. It has great support for multiple products, environments, and configs within them, providing centralized feature management across multiple products.

Feature flag services often price based on MAU which is impossibly expensive for a SaaS product like ours. ConfigCat has a fair pricing model based on config downloads and network traffic that makes it feasible for us to use the product. Additionally the add-ons make it easy to tailor the costs a bit before switching to a higher plan and they've been more than willing to work with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

The UI can be a bit complex for a first timer, but is workable once you understand the concepts. We have engineers, product managers, and support working in there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConfigCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Feature flags are critical to our ability to rapidly deliver features to our clients. Being able to test features early makes it far more likely that we deliver things our clients need and that work as intended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConfigCat?

ConfigCat has been a game-changer for our release flow. We love how it enables us to seamlessly implement A/B testing and canary releases, which are critical for our deployment strategy. The tool is straightforward to integrate and use, allowing us to experiment and release features confidently without disrupting our users. Their support team is also a standout – always responsive and helpful whenever we need assistance, ensuring we can tackle any challenges promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

One small limitation we encountered with the free plan is the cap of 100 specific email addresses that can be assigned to a feature flag. For our needs, this was a bit restrictive as we required a higher limit. That said, this is a minor issue compared to the overall value and quality of the service, which has been excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConfigCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can easily perform A/B tests and canary releases using ConfigCat, which helps us boost both the productivity of the development team and test new features only with a subset of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConfigCat?

Our product and engineering teams have been using Configcat for a number of years after evaluating it against some competitors. We have not regretted the decision and have expanded our use over the years. Setting up an org account and managing multiple products, running experiments, gradually rolling out new features and feature variants, all has been made easier thanks to Configcat.

It's worked reliably and offers all the features our team was looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

At the beginning there were some team and org account management features missing, which made it a bit difficult to add and remove users and assign permissions. However these were added over time and the issue was resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConfigCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're regularly releasing feature iterations or new features in our product and need a solution that lets us control what gets released to which user cohort, measuring results and reacting quickly if a release introduces issues in the product. Configcat's feature flagging solution solves this problem for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConfigCat?

When I tested your app and sdk I found it working perfectly well. The documentation was well defined and everything went smoothly.

I used the SDK for both Flutter and Nodejs and the interaction in both cases was very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

Usage of segments does not include validations and a missing comma can break the entire segment list Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Csilla Kisfaludi of ConfigCat

Thank you for the kind words! We’re glad to hear that ConfigCat worked smoothly for you and that our documentation helped make the setup easy.

We appreciate your feedback on segments and have shared it with our engineering team for review.

Thanks again for your feedback, and feel free to reach out anytime!

What do you like best about ConfigCat?

ConfigCat is simple and easy to integrate while still being quite powerful.

The SDKs are feature complete and consistent across languages, which has made onboarding our team much easier.

The pricing model is fair and based on actual usage rather than somewhat artifical limits like seats, installations, clients, etc.

SSO... in every plan!

Their support is highly responsive, going so far as patching an SDK bug in an hour and even delivering on feature requests.

The Terraform provider and Public API allow control over the vast majority of the product functionality.

If you're looking for a feature flag solution, make sure to try ConfigCat! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

ConfigCat may not be the best fit for organizations wanting very fine-grained access control. We were able to work around some of the shortcommings but had to make some concession.

- SSO doesn't support group assignment via claims. (SCIM is on the roadmap, which is likely a better approach)

- Permissions are largely granted at the product and environment level. I would have also liked the config level.

- Product members can only be part of a single group per product, which makes provisioning via pre-existing organization security groups more challenging. We ended up generating and provisioning a group per member per product.

- Products and configs are very isolated. Segments can only be used with-in a single product. Flags conditional on other flags only work with in a single config. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConfigCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

* Simplify coordination of release timing

* Incremental releases, targeted releases

* Kill-switch

* Maintenance mode, forced updates, graceful degredation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConfigCat?

Its easy to use and implement, which does not mean its lacking in features!

There a lot of targetting rules, segments, environment and configs all make sense, clients and sample implementations for a lot of coding languages.

We've used split in the past and configcat to us has been easier to understand and onboard other folks while maintaining the set of features we liked from split Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

The one thing I would recommend improving is how segments are use, segments allow you to group how to target your users but you can change them and affect all environments, I found that to be a bit scary if you dont know what you are doing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConfigCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are releasing quite frequently our product and configcat is allowing us to not slow down, continue to build and ship and engage with our customers as beta testers and allow them an early view of what we are building- Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConfigCat?

Config Cat is very easy to use.

As a software engg. I have used Feature flag like Unleash but the UI and ease that Config cat provide is unmatchable.

The SDK and customization of the flag is also excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

There is nothing as such I dislike about Config cat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConfigCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before config cat it was hard to hold features behind toggle due to ease of use Config cat in code is very helpful.

We can customize the Feature flag like TenantIds, Users etc. which is the best part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dead simple yet powerful features for running feature flags. I love the straightforward approach and not trying to complicate matters when there is no need to. Me and the team ha been really happy choosing ConfigCat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConfigCat?

There is no actual dislikes but what we could actually make use of would be the ability to bring Amplitude cohorts as a user segment to ConfigCat so we could run experiments with flags based on the user behaviour more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConfigCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Separating deployment from releasing features. Running pilot tests and tech spikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
