Easy to start

I wanted to start using configuration switches, so we could switch them on and off without the requirement of a new deployment. I found out about ConfigCat because of their plugin suggestion in Jira. So I started with the free edition, added a configuration flag in our code and convinced my collegues. With our last release we used a canary release strategy for the first time in production and it went really well, because we have defined a set of properties for identifying users and defined a rule for grouping them for each release set.

PROS

Easy true/false switches, but not only boolean properties can be requested but also text, integers and decimals.

CONS

What could be better is the management of segments or target users. They support a simple list of identifications, like user-guid's but it can become a mess very quick if you want to add a lot of them to the list.

Reason for choosing ConfigCat

We had no experience with using such remote config switches, so pricing was a very big argument. ConfigCat offers a free plan, the others not

Impressive Feature Flag Management - A Game Changer for Our Development Process

ConfigCat's targeting and segmentation features have proven invaluable for our team. We can now precisely target specific user groups, allowing us to test and refine features before rolling them out to our entire user base. This has not only helped us improve the overall quality of our product, but it has also provided us with invaluable insights into how different user segments interact with our application.

PROS

What I like most about ConfigCat is its powerful targeting and segmentation features. These capabilities have enabled our team to efficiently test, refine, and roll out new features to specific user groups, ensuring a smooth and controlled implementation process. This level of precision has not only improved the overall quality of our product but also provided us with invaluable insights into how different user segments interact with our application.By leveraging ConfigCat's targeting and segmentation features, we've been able to minimize the risks associated with releasing new features, reduce the time spent on fixing issues in production, and deliver a better user experience to our customers. Ultimately, these capabilities have significantly contributed to the success of our development process and our product as a whole.

CONS

While my overall experience with ConfigCat has been overwhelmingly positive, there is one aspect that I liked least: the initial learning curve. Although ConfigCat's dashboard is intuitive and user-friendly, it took some time for our team members to familiarize themselves with all the features and best practices associated with feature flag management.However, I must emphasize that this learning curve was relatively short-lived, and ConfigCat's comprehensive documentation and outstanding customer support played a significant role in helping us overcome any initial challenges. Once our team members became comfortable with the platform, it quickly became an indispensable part of our development process. Despite this minor hurdle, I would still highly recommend ConfigCat to any development team looking to implement feature flags and improve their software release process.

Vendor Response

Hey there, thank you for sharing your experience with ConfigCat. We're glad to hear that our targeting and segmentation features have been valuable for your team and we appreciate your feedback about the initial learning curve. We're always here to help if you have any questions or need support. Thanks again for recommending ConfigCat and keep on feature flagging!

All the feature I need for a feature flag service.

I have a product that companies want to customise, ConfigCat allows be to enable/disable features to suit the needs of my customers.

PROS

Very easy to integrate with my product using the Javascript SDK. The other feature I really like is the ability to target specific users using rules with custom data. Does the job, very simple to setup. The browser console logging is useful to dev to inspect the response from ConfigCat

CONS

Yet to experience any limitations. I would like to see a cheaper plan for startups :)

Vendor Response

Everything you could ask for

It's super easy to integrate into existing code bases, needing only ~2 lines of code to be usable.

A few more types of feature flags would be nice

Makes Feature Flags easy to use. And I like Feature Flags

PROS

It has a fun and intuitive interface. I really enjoy it. Also that cat is cute as hell. It looks like that moment when that particularly strong coffee is just kicking in.

CONS

Maybe would like to be able to create more complicated conditions of applying a feature flag. But I am still learning to use it on my own so it might all be there. Also maybe the responsibility of some of the conditions need not be with ConfigCat. 99% of our project's needs are covered by the main functions so I have been slacking a bit.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review. We especially liked the strong coffee part :D. Once you got familiar with the targeting rules, we'd be interested in your ideas on how to improve to support more complicated use cases.
