CloudBees Feature Management (formerly Rollout) is an enterprise-ready feature flag management solution, offering robust deployment rules, audience segmentation and an experimentation framework for controlling which audiences are exposed to what features. Feature flagging is a method to show or hide specific software features at runtime. Features are coded with a flag and “released” to production systems, but only exposed to a given user if that user meets the criteria for the…

Great for rolling out features slowly for beta testing in production. I would say it is less well suited for toggling features permanently for users as this requires more integration with our backend and billing systems that would be a lot of work to set up.
Feature Flag Management: It's like magic. With a flip of a switch, you can manage feature rollouts to visitors or accounts across the web and mobile applications!
Segmentation: Create a segment of visitors or accounts and then use that to target a feature flag rule. Really easy to use and saves so much time.
Ease of Use: Seamless copy/paste functionality, really clear status indicators so you can find what is on and for whom.
It's very easy to create new feature flags and set them properly. It is more difficult to get LaunchDarkly integrated within a distributed system so that flags can be used. Especially on stateless servers where gating features by user is not easy. Overall though, it is very easy to get started and I like how simple it is to use.
From what I have seen, LaunchDarkly integrates well with your code and also services you might have in your tech ecosystem. We use Jenkins for automation and we were able to use it to build pipelines to automate the control of LaunchDarkly toggles in our code.
Rollout is another dedicated feature flag tool that can be used to manage features. LaunchDarkley offers all the features of an enterprise level tool, unlike Rollout, reserves the security features for the Enterprise plan. Out of box integrations are limited but they do have a well documented REST API.
Improved developer experience with some teams moving to Trunk-based Development.
Increased deployment frequency due to smaller code releases.
Validation of the technical and business value of work is achieved more quickly through smaller pieces of work and through experimenting with a small group of users before a feature gets to 100% of customers.
