Our take

The rise in internet use has resulted in an often unmanageable amount of network traffic across websites, data centers, and most recently cloud services. The resulting mass of information from this is problematic to interpret and thus difficult to use for troubleshooting and engagement insights.

Kentik provides an integrated network monitoring dashboard for enterprises that helps provide visual data illustrations and insights based on traffic. This allows administrators to identify bottlenecks in their networks, whilst providing opportunities to provide cyber protection and monitor customer experiences.

Kentik's approach to network management is unique due to its focus on the visualization of information. This allows insights to be understandable regardless of whether staff have knowledge in networking data. The company continues to improve its offering, such as with the launch of its industry-tailored AI advisor.
