The hability to create alerts based on traffic, the synthetics monitoring is a feature that I din't knew that I needed and now I can't live without it. Also, the DDoS section of the software is quite complete. Cons The price ! Depending on what you need the software can be a little expensive and is a pay to use. You can't purchase and use forever.

Solution Director Telecommunications ### "The Best Network tool in Market " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 20, 2023 Pros Kentik is a complete solution for all business that delivery digital information.

LV Leonardo V. CCO Telecommunications ### "Kentik - Indispensable in managing your business " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 16, 2023 We use Kentik as a means and an end. I explain. As a means we use Kentik in ISP analysis, identifying traffic types and peerings opportunities. In this case, the level of assertiveness, information update and granularity are incomparable. As an end, we deal with Kentik in South and Central America. Our clients show enormous satisfaction with the platform. In addition to the functionalities already mentioned, I hear statements about how the control over what happens in the network and in the operation has improved. Pros Kentik brings together a number of important features in business management. Especially in our peering management work, I like the level of granularity of information from CDN/OTT Analytics, Discover Peers, and Flow Analytics. I understand how important Protect and Synthetics are to businesses and I find Kentik's interface very user-friendly, intuitive and inviting. Cons I understand that Kentik could in the near future consider having its own scrubbing center, with an affordable cost of the complete solution, like Wanguard or Arbor. More and more customers are concerned about volumetric attacks and combining the solutions in many cases is beyond the available investment budget.

Pros Bandwidth usage from our upstream providers. OTP reports and usage. Cons I can't think of any features that were missing.

Sr Network Architect Information Technology and Services ### "Kentik must have if you try to be proactive" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 9, 2023 First when we turned up kentik for our DDoS offering I needed to send API calls to more than one destination as we have multiple Scrubbing Centers. I wanted both Scrubbing Centers to work in Active/Active mode. Kentik at the time did not provide that option and we would have to maintain 2 policy's for each Scrubbing Center. This is an administrative nightmare but Kentik's response to my problem was to give them a week to make this happen. I was stunned on how fast they were able to turn this around Pros Kentik approached me about their netflow extremely fast query capabilities. I just brushed my shoulders because I didn't think there was any problems with my in-house netflow server. When I agreed to test out their product I was extremely shocked that any query I ran was single digit seconds vs 30-50minutes that I was used to.Setting up trigger alerts is fairly simple and you get countless of options on your alert mechanism. This is CRITICAL to TierPoint to be quick AND accurate because it triggers an API call to our DDoS Scrubbing Centers to take the bad traffic away from our Data Centers and re-route them to our Scrubbing Centers to save our backbone from DDoS Attacks Cons Netflow and SNMP data is preferred to go to Kentik direct over the Internet. I truly don't like to have my SNMP features enabled on the outside network so they have a kProxy product that sits on your inside network to collect the data. At first kProxy was challenging to get going but it came a long way and it's been SOLID for more than a year now. This is not a Con anymore but this is all I can think of.

I cannot do my job without this tool in my arsenal. Pros The flexibility to craft filters and dimension against real-time traffic flow and telemetry Cons The navigation of saved views and dashboards can be confusing to use when creating and saving views to share with the team or for later retrieval.
