BENOCS product offering
Product offeringCore offering
BENOCS provides real-time network traffic visibility and optimization SaaS that correlates multiple internet protocols (BGP, IGP, SNMP, NetFlow/IPFIX, DNS) into an end-to-end view of how traffic enters, traverses and exits an operator's network. Its two sellable products are BENOCS Flow Analytics (multi-dimensional traffic visibility and capacity planning) and BENOCS Flow Director (cooperative traffic steering between CSPs and CDNs), delivered as modular SaaS bundles on a multi-year subscription basis with optional BENOCS- or customer-hosted deployment.
Product overview
BENOCS offers a network analytics platform with two core products: Flow Analytics and Flow Director. Flow Analytics is the primary visibility and monitoring solution that provides end-to-end network traffic analysis through multi-dimensional Sankey visualizations, while Flow Director enables traffic management and optimization through automated CDN exchange. The platform operates as a modular SaaS solution with add-on modules including Application Identifier (for application-level visibility), Looking Glass (public/private for network diagnostics), Customer Portal (for customer read-only access), Core Planner and Border Planner (for capacity planning), Core Flow Inspector (for backbone flow analysis), and SNMP Integration (for capacity overlay). The platform collects and correlates multiple protocols including Flow, BGP, SNMP, DNS, and IGP to provide comprehensive network intelligence.

BENOCS competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Netscout Systems: Established network traffic assurance and DDoS (Arbor) vendor serving carriers; competes broadly on network visibility though as part of a wider product suite.
- Cisco ThousandEyes: Large incumbent offering internet and network path visibility as part of Cisco's portfolio; overlaps BENOCS's visibility value proposition but with far broader scope and scale.
Direct peers
- LiveAction: Network flow analytics and performance visualization platform correlating flow and SNMP data, closely comparable to BENOCS's flow-based analytics offering.
- Sandvine: Network traffic intelligence and management for CSPs, overlapping BENOCS's traffic optimization and CDN/application visibility for operators.
- Kentik: Network traffic intelligence/observability platform ingesting NetFlow, BGP and SNMP for service providers and enterprises, directly overlapping BENOCS's core multi-protocol flow analytics use cases.
- Flowmon (Progress): NetFlow/IPFIX-based network monitoring and anomaly detection, addressing the same flow-analytics and capacity-planning needs for network operators.
- Nokia Deepfield: IP network analytics and DDoS protection for carriers and CDNs using big-data traffic correlation, competing directly for the same Tier-1 service-provider visibility budgets BENOCS targets.
Emerging players
- Noction: BGP routing analytics and optimization (IRP/flow analysis) for networks, overlapping BENOCS's peering optimization and route/traffic engineering use cases.
- Catchpoint: Internet performance monitoring and BGP/route visibility; intersects BENOCS's mission of understanding internet traffic paths, though more focused on digital experience monitoring.
Others
- ntop: Provider of open-source and commercial NetFlow/traffic analysis tools; an ecosystem/adjacent player addressing similar flow-monitoring needs at a different scale and delivery model.
