Is flow data a luxury or a necessity? 🤔

For too long, network operators have relied on aging tools instead of the rich context flow data provides. Our new post explains why that's a mistake.

Why (Enriched) Flow Data Belongs in Every Network Operator’s Daily Toolbox
Flow data has always held immense potential, but was often inaccessible because it lacked context and speed. Kentik removes that friction by automatically enriching flow with human-readable context, m...
