Introducing Cause Analysis from Kentik, designed to simplify network traffic analysis and rapidly identify the root cause of issues. Learn how this exciting new feature streamlines troubleshooting, makes complex insights accessible, and boosts team efficiency for all users.

To keep modern applications running smoothly, you need more than just basic monitoring. APM (Application Performance Monitoring) gives you a broad overview, tracking metrics like latency, errors, and system health. Distributed Tracing, on the other hand, shows the full journey of each request across services, helping you pinpoint the root cause of slowdowns or failures.

IT budgets are under pressure, and hardware refresh costs continue to climb. For End User Computing (EUC) and IT professionals, the traditional time-based approach to managing device lifecycles is no longer viable. Simply replacing laptops and desktops every three to five years doesn’t reflect actual device performance, usage patterns, or business needs. The solution? A smarter, data-driven hardware refresh strategy that balances performance, cost-efficiency, and employee experience.

Anyone who works in technology quickly learns this truth: users will always interact with systems in the most unexpected and baffling ways… and when something goes wrong, they swear they “didn’t touch anything.” There’s a vast ocean between how something is designed and how it’s actually used—an ocean filled with bugs waiting to be caught. But there’s a way to bridge that gap: session replay.

Your website goes down at 2 AM. Your customers wake up to broken services, flooded support inboxes, and zero communication from your team.

You can create a professional status page in under 5 minutes, completely free. I'll show you exactly how.
