“We are switching to Kentik NMS to support our many network devices. The nice, simple dashboard provides all the NMS metrics we need for troubleshooting. Kentik NMS’ extensibility makes it easy to integrate to our internal tools through APIs.”

Why customers choose Kentik NMS over SolarWinds NPM

Total cost of ownership

SolarWinds NPM is bundled into complex modules that force you to pay for features you don’t want. And polling engines, which alone often cost 5-10X more than licensing, add hidden costs to growing your business.

Kentik NMS is a zero-maintenance SaaS deployment, with real-time data and no extra licensing or equipment costs.

Easy and for everyone

Solarwinds siloes critical data and expertise, leading to painful, disjointed troubleshooting. The stagnant, outdated feature set and slow browser performance frustrate engineering teams.

Kentik NMS makes solving complex problems easy, allowing anyone to answer any question about the network, powered by natural language and GenAI.
