Use case details
Evaluate SaaS applications directly
Measure the performance of third-party applications using emulated user locations. See key metrics such as response time, latency, jitter and packet loss. Set up HTTP server, page load and API tests for applications and services. Monitor critical application infrastructure such as web or DNS servers. Keep tabs on the elements that make up the user experience.
Monitor performance
Catch performance issues before they impact users. Get immediate answers to where the problem lies. Observe application response times, network bandwidth issues, or latency variations. Get intelligent alerts that notify you only when there’s a real problem. Set up tests that reflect user experience in one click.
Emulate real user experiences
Test page load times and user transactions (STM) from our public agents or your own private agents. Mimic the experience your users are getting. Pinpoint performance issues wherever they might be. Quickly identify the root cause.
Examine delivery paths
Visualize traffic paths and patterns as data flows from source to destination. Get a hop-by-hop view that makes it easy to drill into the root of performance problems. Determine which provider has the problematic router. Click on a node to view details and specific metrics. Get powerful visual cues on hover, such as color changes, thicker lines, and additional information.
Gauge CDN performance
Measure performance and track connectivity to CDNs or ASNs autonomously. See synthetic test results in the context of real traffic from content providers. Evaluate CDN performance using Kentik’s global CDN map and scenario testing capabilities, allowing ISPs to test each CDN that delivers content via their network.
See the big picture
Set up complex, multi-site performance mesh tests with just a few clicks. View hundreds of results simultaneously. Our matrix view and visual cues show you problems at a glance. Click any cell to view performance metrics and drill down to the root cause of issues. See how your applications are running between data centers and public clouds.
Identify connectivity issues
Understand user connectivity issues are related to VPN overload. See performance test metrics and traffic flows side-by-side. Quickly identify if there is a correlation between test results and traffic overload. See the big picture before you dig deeper.
Showcase performance leadership
