Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Digital companies must test and release new features at a rapid rate to scale and compete in today's economy. However, every experimental feature release must be meticulously assessed for risk and security breaches, a process which is time-consuming.
Split provides a platform for feature flagging and experimentation that aims to increase the rate that enterprises can test and release new features. This is achieved by providing tools that process automatic feature flags and impact calculations whilst maintaining integration with enterprise tools such as Slack, Jira and Datadog.
The company provides a free demo of the full platform in addition to a free version offering limited functionality. The feature flagging tool has seen widespread use, resulting in a 300% increase in use over the last year.
