Kentik allowed us to mitigate a significant DDoS attack targeted at our infrastructure. With Kentik, we were able to pinpoint the flows and craft proper mitigation based on that, even when the attack changed methods. Without Kentik, we would have struggled to restore connectivity.

Prior to using Kentik, we had very little capability to dig into historical traffic when analyzing anomalies. Shifting traffic around for capacity reasons was done mostly by guesswork. With Kentik, we now have the data we need to make informed decisions.

We recently saw a significant shift in border traffic during a scheduled Apple PNI maintenance window. With Kentik, we were able to monitor the draining of traffic from our Apple PNI link and move to alternate carrier services, then back again at the conclusion of the maintenance window.

Director, Large Gaming Company

Kentik Customer Testimonial

We previously ran an on-prem monitoring solution, but it was not scalable and was so slow. Once we deployed Kentik’s SaaS solution, we no longer needed to manage our on-prem infrastructure. Kentik is so fast, and our team’s productivity has increased significantly.

Case Study

We observed some unexpected traffic levels across an intercontinental core network link. Using Kentik, we were able to analyze the traffic at its point of ingress into the network, track it to its egress, and dimension it by destination ASN. The problem was then revealed to be a prefix leak from one of our transit customers. Without Kentik, this would have been much more time-consuming to identify.

Engineer, Small Business Telecommunications Services Company

Identifying traffic flow issues has become faster, easier, and more accurate with Kentik. Our value to customers has improved, and Kentik delivers network confidence.
