Kentik Case Study
This case study of Chester County Community Network (Chesconet) is based on a June 2017 survey of Kentik customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.
Larry Konig, Network Operations Manager of Chesconet:
“We were in the market for a replacement for our existing NetFlow-tracking software package for a while. Most of the replacement solutions we considered turned out to be very, very expensive and required using the vendor’s dedicated hardware.
Kentik’s solution generates reports for us way faster than our old system ever did and it retains data longer. Now we can generate monthly reports for our customers rather than daily or weekly reports.
The best surprise with Kentik is the platform’s DDoS detection and mitigation capabilities. Kentik’s capabilities are having us re-think how we’re going to mitigate DDoS activity in the future."
Chesconet found that generating network analysis and planning reports required too much of its team’s time.

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.

Kentik Customer Testimonial
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.
