Product Description

The SDKs, documentation, and examples further complement this fantastic solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flagsmith?

It's incredibly easy to add a new flag that immediately propagates across all of your environments. The identity and segment overrides work out of the box and their API latency + webhooks have made working with a third party have 0 risk to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flagsmith?

There are some small improvements I'd make but overall it's great.

1. Deleting my identity overrides is a bit tedious - wish I could clear them all from a flag at once.

2. I'd love to provide flagsmith with my customer name to ID mapping - when I'm looking at a flag it's nice to see the customer names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When we roll out a new feature we rely on flagsmith to slowly enable it for new customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flagsmith?

Flagsmith is an amazing product. It has a SAAS with a very generous free plan and an equally compelling open-source offering super useful for enterprises that need a feature flag software behind their own firewalls.

The user interface is good and the overall experience is great. The APIs for the SAAS respond very quickly and they have great uptime as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flagsmith?

The user interface aspect of Flagsmith can be a bit better but it is not a blocker. For the features they already provide the user interface is not as smooth as it can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Flagsmith helps us release software iteratively and behind feature flags. It has helped us manage important features easily with a gradual release that has delighted our customers while the risk we had was minimal to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flagsmith?

We've an iOS app that relies heavily on server-side configuration and handling an in-house service was a big pain. Fortunately, we got to know about Flagsmith that makes it a lot easier for us to handle powerful remote configurations. It is simple, reliable and helps to us get to the App Store faster as we don't have to worry about deploying the beta features anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flagsmith?

From our experience so far, we haven't come across anything to dislike. They can work a little on the iOS documentation, but it was straightforward to figure out nonetheless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We want to have a powerful mechanism for feature flags and remote configurations. The benefits has been uncomplicated deployment cycle with more confidence of toggling on/off new time-sensitive features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flagsmith?

Basic feature flags are easy to implement yourself, but if you want all the bells and whistles, it actually ends up being a significant effort to get right. With flagsmith, you will have segments, A/B testing, integrations with analytics engines out of the box. The service is also very reliable, we have been using it for years and have never been affected by any outages.

The SDK are also very easy to work with, and in the few cases we have needed changes, the team have been open to accepting PRs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flagsmith?

We would really like a slack integration to get more visibility on when feature flags are flipped. Everything is of course stored in a log, but it might not be the first place you check when you start getting error reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use flagsmith for all of our feature flag needs in our react and react-native applications. We have integrated flagsmith with our analytics provider, and use it for running A/B tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flagsmith?

- It's easy to use and has great UX. (Unlike Launch Darkly, for example, which requires training new users)

- Lots of supported clients

- Powerful segments so we can do A/B tests

- No hard API limits so you can scale smoothly

- Audit log to track who changed a flag and when Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flagsmith?

- You need to build your own realtime infrastructure if you want real time updates on the frontend.

- There is no visual difference between environments (development, production) so you need to double check you are in the right environment before switching on a flag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- A/B testing across the registration boundry.

- Some of these A/B tests resulted in much better conversion rates and product insights.

- Simple RBAC for previewing new changes in production before switching it on for everyone.

- This sped up our QA process and resulted in fewer bugs going out to users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flagsmith?

Installation, documentation, and easy navigation to see which features are enabled or disabled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flagsmith?

A higher user limit and permissions specification per project and environment. There could also be a friendlier way to pull down JSON feature data values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flagsmith:

Ensure you understand when Flagsmith is invoked to avoid race conditions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Trunk-based development; we are able to release from the same branch whilst features are still in development. AB testing has also been useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
