This software is feature rich and powerful that it makes wireless administration fun all the while being able to provide executive level of reporting.
I dislike that I don't have a blank checkbook. I think this should be the standard for all wireless enterprise platforms.
Customer support is too good, the VisualRF tool is best due to which I was able to know exactly where a client device is as well as what AP it is connected to.
Not all Aruba branded products are fully compatible with the airwave, which means you can't utilise all features that it has to offer, which can be a bit frustrating.
The ability to view heat maps and view network statistics on a site by site basis is a great feature. Especially when your network consists of over 30 different sites.
Setup and be a bit confusing. Navigation has some shortcomings.
Excellent reporting tool that can be shared with management.
Difficult to manage AP configuration templates in text mode.
Like most SaaS consumption models, your deployment is extremely easy. Setting up dashboards is rather intuitive (for engineers) and the filtering capability is really good.
At times the software can be a little difficult to navigate. This could be user error.
Overall I have good experience with Kentik as data analysis software, it has help to mitigate top talkers in network and make necessary optimization in network accordingly.
Maybe some dashboard modifications are difficult for us due to lack of specific documentation.
Kentik is a great product, their support is excellent, their product is as well.
I don't like sending our netflows to a third party, and once when we had a severe DDoS attack, we could not use Kentik since our data did not get to them.
Kentik is a great product that is a step above the rest. Its easy to use, it quick to setup, its very powerful and can be leveraged for many uses.
Additionally, it is mired with the same bugs as the standard UI and more. Most of the errors are around their timeline but there are other errors that cause major concern like data inconsistencies.
