Kentik Pros and Cons

Kentik is easy to use, and provides great insight into how customers, potential customers, and competitors are interacting with your network. The ability to quickly generate and customize reports across a variety of datapoints and presentations enables quick development of regular reporting dashboards, as well as quick on-the-fly studies.

I usually am on there several times a day, just doing pulse checks on traffic flow, or generating updates to particular traffic reports that are tracked on-going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only real downside, is the limitation that everything has to involve your own network - though this is totally understandable. As great as it would be to see interactions between competitors and potential customers, wouldn't want to share that information about your own network. Can't really think of anything else, overall it's an extremely useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You do need to spend time understanding the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like practically everything about Kentik, it's hard to choose just one feature to talk about.

But what draws the most attention is the speed of querying and reading the collected data.

The tool is very fast. I am impressed with the amount of query I do in a gigantic network (more than 1.6T of external links only) and the result is very fast. I've used several other tools and none perform as well as kentik

This greatly facilitates troubleshooting and traffic monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can be a learning curve in understanding the nesting of filters when trying to create a filter to address a detailed customer traffic flow. The filters are very powerful and helpful in detailed traffic analysis and are critical elements when analyzing high-volume flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
