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.
  • Dark releases
  • Dark feature
  • Feature flagging
  • Offers of plans
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.
  • Optimized Resource Utilization and Cost Savings:
  • Positive Impact on Development Speed and Agility:

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.
  • Very fast interface
  • Excellent code samples & documentation
  • Good security model granularity
  • No automatic push for flag changes - have to write our own webhooks
  • No scheduling interface for flipping flags automatically on a schedule
  • Interface is a bit cluttered for people who are just flipping flags
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.
  • Feature flagging
  • Managing flags
  • Granular user security model
  • Improved comfort with releases
  • An additional way to communicate with our users
The pricing model was a lot better for our usage model - we didn't need to worry about paying for each individual user.

We use ConfigCat to manage feature flags across all our applications, from Native Apps to backend services, in all environments.
  • Fast reliable service
  • Simple yet powerful user interface
  • Logic based feature flag enablement/disablement
  • Increased reporting on where requests for flags come from and their status and their status. That would be very handy in the native app space with many customers using older versions.
ConfigCat is a highly flexible configuration management tool that, because of it's flexibility, can adapt to most use cases.
  • Configuration management
  • Logic based triggering rules
  • Faster more effective releases
  • Reducing QA scope

There are quite a few solutions around for feature flags, ConfigCat was the best one for us because it had the best license model - you get the most for your money and it was comparable to similar solutions in all of its features as well - so we had the best of both worlds. One highlight for me though was the use of the Jira integration. I queried with the ConfigCat team as I wondered if there were any plans to integrate with the Jira support for feature flag engines that would allow us to search for features via JQL - there weren't but they went ahead and implemented them which was outstanding service.
  • Jira integration
  • Management interface
  • Simple integration in code
  • Feature flags for our end user portals
Feature parity was essentially the same, but ConfigCat has a far better licensing model.

We make use of ConfigCat to test new features in production in a controlled manner, enable the rollout of these new features on a per-tenant basis once testing has been completed and, should the need arise, rollback a feature if an unexpected issue is found.
  • Nicely designed and easy to use web frontend to manage the settings.
  • Unlimited number of user accounts allows everyone in the team to make changes.
  • It could be handy to have user accounts limited to just a select few feature flags.
  • A mobile app would be nice (although the website works fine).
If you have a bunch of configuration that you find yourself needing to make changes but to do that you need to deploy a new release, or your logging into servers, ConfigCat should help you to stop that.
  • It has significantly reduced the amount we need to spend on releasing new features while at the same time increasing our confidence that they have been tested thoroughly.
They have a community Slack channel that is open to anyone. They always seem to have people in there, even over the weekends and are always happy to answer any questions you have,
