### "Invaluable Insight into network traffic"

January 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

Just Works! Easy to implement. Great customer support

Cons

The software comes at a significant cost to our organization. I would love it to be onsite rather than cloud. 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.

### "Traffic Reports"

January 18, 2019

5.0

Sales has been really responsive to all our needs. I recommend them greatly.

Pros

I like the option of being able to make reports quickly. I can see trends, usage and potential problems with all the options available on the reports.

Cons

Took a bit to figure out all the report options. However, my Kentik sales person setup a demo with myself and my team to go over all the features. They also recorded the session so we can refer back to it when we need.

Pros

The stats I use more is the ASN traffic and is pretty easy to use

### "Useful for busy public cloud"

January 25, 2019

5.0

Kentik allows us to identify networks to target for peering relationships and by doing that help us reduce our opex spend on transit traffic.

Pros

Kentik allows us to drill down into traffic patterns and easily see whats going on with our Internet traffic.

Cons

At times the software can be a little difficult to navigate. This could be user error.

### "Best net flow analytics tool on the market"

January 18, 2019

5.0

I've been using Kentik for just over a year now and have been more than impressed. I've since scrapped my old Solarwinds deployment and don't intend on looking back. The support is very responsive and they definitely go out of their way to ensure you have what you need.

Pros

Ease of use and the ability to visualize data in ways that make the most sense

Cons

Honestly my only complaint is the fact that I haven't been able to sell my management on this tool for other networks that I manage. :)

### "Kentik"

December 9, 2019

5.0

Overall this tool is very useful, the onboarding team is very helpful

Pros

It's really nice to monitor traffic and packets. It's also use to look at BGP path, so it helps with day to day monitoring and troubleshooting.

Cons

There is a bit of of a set up and a learning curve. Once it's setup it's quite nice. The other issue might be cost.

### "Pros & Cons of using Kentik"

January 20, 2019

4.0

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.

Pros

It is good software which helps to track the top talking AS/IP Address in an Network. It has multiple filters, which can be customized as per our needs, good thing is that it directly shows the host in the list where you need to filter.

Cons

It does not help to set threshold for traffic sourced/destined with Network address/port and detect DOS/DDOS attacks and generate alerts accordingly so network team can mitigate the same. It cannot alert network admin regarding IP hijack cases.
