Kentik Customer Satisfaction Rating

An engineer at an internet and cable service provider would be very likely to recommend Kentik for this reason:

Kentik has provided much-needed visibility into our network infrastructure and empowered us to make informed decisions that drive operational processes and growth.

Kentik Customer Testimonial

When we first started using Kentik, I asked myself, “How did we ever live without this!”

Operations Manager, Global Data Center Provider

Kentik Customer Testimonial

When a customer calls into our support team complaining about slow speeds, the team can look to Kentik to check the customer’s network utilization and see if any service is consuming bandwidth.

Kentik Customer Testimonial

Before Kentik, we only saw our paid transit usage rising, then we’d blindly augment capacity. Now we can see exactly why usage is rising and what entity or ASN the bulk of the traffic is coming from, and then we can then work on it individually, on a per-ASN basis, whether seeking peering relationships or expanding our IX presence in different markets.

Network Administrator, Medium Enterprise Telecommunications Services Company

Kentik Customer Satisfaction Rating

A network administrator at a telecommunications services company would be very likely to recommend Kentik because:

Having Kentik around has been an invaluable tool for identifying Internet Exchange (IX) peers that are sending traffic to us over paid transits instead of over the IX. We’ve found several and have had them correct their side to send traffic to us over our IX peer. We also love the ability to have Kentik initiate RTBH upon a discovered DDoS attack. Having Kentik monitor our borders and immediately initiate an RTBH has saved us quite often.

Customer service was by far the biggest surprise I found while using Kentik. Most companies preach their product and then dump it on you once you’ve bought it to figure it out.
