Five customers explain why Kentik is essential for understanding traffic, controlling network cost, and planning for growth. Hear from Sorin Esanu (Race Communications), Michael Leclaire (MetroNet), John Lubeck (Midco), Wallace Lee (Imperva), and Everett Sinclair (Conway Corporation) on how they use Kentik to see “the bits on the wire,” dig deeper than traditional reporting tools, and turn network data into better customer experiences.

Across service provider and enterprise environments, Kentik helps teams optimize peering and CDN offload, sculpt traffic and caching strategy, automate DDoS mitigation, reduce transit spend even as traffic scales, automate capacity planning and finance reporting, and make network insights accessible beyond engineering. The result: faster decisions, measurable efficiency, and a platform customers say they can’t operate without.
