ConfigCat Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I need real time choices and feature gates i can utlize to safely roll out features for users. I'm not a huge company, so i need a configuration that is adaptable, asynchronous and manageable for any type of data i need. Uptime and availability, and ease of integration are a must.

Likelihood to Recommend

Can easily integrate into existing configuration datasources. Seems to have an extensive API with plenty of solutions baked in. I've used other solutions, that are available globally, but in reality don't work as well in oddball countries. I've had great success depending on ConfigCat to work for ALL my users.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Controlled feature rollout and application optimisation flags for improving user performance on a wide variety of cases.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited to emerging products in early stages of rollout for managing levers to allow for on the fly optimisation as well as feature management

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization has been utilizing ConfigCat to harness the power of feature flagging and seamlessly execute dark releases. ConfigCat has proven to be an invaluable tool in addressing critical business problems and enhancing the overall efficiency of our software development and release processes.The primary use case for ConfigCat in our organization revolves around feature flagging. This feature has empowered our development teams to introduce new features or changes in our applications without the need for a full deployment. ConfigCat's user-friendly interface makes it incredibly easy for our developers to create and manage feature flags, enabling us to control the rollout of features with precision.

Likelihood to Recommend

ConfigCat excels in scenarios where dynamic feature management is crucial, such as A/B testing, gradual rollouts, and targeted releases. It's well-suited for organizations seeking flexibility in deploying new features without a full release. ConfigCat is less appropriate for smaller projects with straightforward release processes, where the added complexity of feature flagging may not be necessary. Additionally, if real-time feature toggling is not a priority for a particular project, simpler configuration management tools might be more suitable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ConfigCat to expose functionality in our experiences in the right time and to the right users. Typically for introducing new functionality, migrating users or doing tests.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use ConfigCat for regular feature toggling to introduce features gradually or at a defined time. This is off course where they shine being fast and ease to use.

We also use ConfigCat to migrate users of IoT systems from older apps into new apps. This is a much more custom process since it's not just mobile app or webserver content that need to be toggled, but with ConfigCat we can do this with success also.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ConfigCat to manage feature flags across all our applications, from Native Apps to backend services, in all environments.

Likelihood to Recommend

ConfigCat is a highly flexible configuration management tool that, because of it's flexibility, can adapt to most use cases.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ConfigCat daily to quickly deploy to production and to be able to roll out our features to our users in a controlled manner. ConfigCat is also used for some operational toggling, giving access to certain features based on the authorized role. Meaning, as an example - our support organization have access to a wider range of features in our system

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, feature flags in desktop apps with future expansion towards webapps and mobile in combination with desktop apps. The desktop apps are a combination of WPF and UWP apps using. NET Framework and. NET Core ranging from 4.6 (Framework) to 6.0 (Core). Apps can either be fully on prem or leverage Azure and/or AWS.

Likelihood to Recommend

Time sensitive and/or high latency environments where you don't want to wait for retrieving the feature flag. ConfigCat queries are performed against a local copy so the query is instant.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were in need of a decent experimentation tool and, in addition, a tool that also handles feature flagging (since they are very similar). In previous companies I managed, this was often built in-house. Still, in this scenario, we had quite a diversity of platforms between websites, mobile apps, and backend systems that implementing across all those would have been time-consuming. We needed to get something up and running quickly.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are looking for an experimentation/feature flag style tool that is quick to adopt and provides enough functionality for light/medium use cases, then this is the tool for you. Additionally, they are growing and expanding their functionality and feature set so they can grow alongside you and your needs. The publicly accessible roadmap is also a great benefit to see where time is being spent on which feature next.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ConfigCat to separate our deployments from our releases and to manage configuration for our clients. We also use it to de-risk our deployments, especially when there is a performance risk. It makes QA and testing simpler as QA is in charge of what is turned on/off). It has unlimited environments and seats, so we can comprehensively cover all of our many personas within the organization. The ConfigCat team is super helpful and responsive. There are many SDKs available and nice extensions. I am very happy we chose ConfigCat over the competitors.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use this all across our product to allow us to be very agile and to decouple and de-risk our deployments from releases. It is excellent at identifying stale flags (called Zombie Flags in ConfigCat) and shows every place in the code they are used for safer and easier removal.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ConfigCat is very easy to do business with - responsive to feature requests and willing to help us onboard. The abundance of code samples on the site makes sure that we're doing things the right way. We're just starting out our journey with the product, but the model lines up very well with how we structure our products, projects, and teams.

Likelihood to Recommend

The ConfigCat team was very responsive to setting up demos, walking us through the product, and making sure we were able to leverage it the way that we want. The few small gaps that we identified were already in the backlog and implemented pretty quickly.
