Kentik was able to tell me so much about what was happening in the network. Normal traffic, abnormal... it was a lovely tool to show customers what they were doing. I was able to analyze what I needed to know so I knew who to peer with. > > **Cons**: Versatility comes with a price - Kentik was very complicated to use. If you didn't use it very frequently, you generally forgot how. ----- ### "answering a little about kentik" — 4.0/5 > **José** | *12 May 2023* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The range of possibilities it offers.tools with various customization possibilities. > > **Cons**: The delay in capturing aspects of the network and alerts. > > 9/10, just missing a quick update rate. ----- ### "My Review" — 4.0/5 > **Shane** | *15 June 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bandwidth usage from our upstream providers. OTP reports and usage. > > **Cons**: I can't think of any features that were missing. The product performed well and accomplished what we were looking for at the time. We just didn't use it enough to justify the cost. > > We were able to identify traffic patterns and utilization across all our upstream providers and monitor where our OTP traffic was coming from. ----- ### "Intuitive and satisfying to use" — 5.0/5 > **Toby** | *12 May 2023* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: For such a powerful and feature rich application, Kentik is surprisingly intuitive to use, and its look and feel is very pleasing and satisfying. The support one gets is also excellent, with direct access to subject matter experts who respond quickly and effectively. > > **Cons**: It’s not cheap, especially if like us you have a large number of devices that need to supply samples, but that’s not uncommon for this type of software. > > Kentik was the obvious and necessary choice for us because unlike similar products at the time it could properly handle flows on different L3 VPNs, but above and beyond that we’ve been very happy with it. ----- ### "Highly" — 4.0/5 > **Bernhard** | *23 May 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part of Kentik is that it allows us to perform really detailed analysis on how our network is being used by customers and peers. This really allows us to make much more highly informed peering and sales decisions. > > **Cons**: Although considerable improvements have been made to usability, I think there is still further developments that can be made in this area. The amount of data storage that is currently required to store the data to run Kentik is still rather high and this limits how far back in time we can go with the analysis. > > Managing a successful internet business without detailed analysis capabilities is really not an option anymore. Kentik appears to be one of the most powerful tools on the market. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/146053/kentik?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/146053/kentik) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
