Pros
Great tool that picks up where MRTG leaves off. It uses RRDTool, the next-generation version of MRTG.
Cons
Cricket is single-threaded, so collecting data from a good-sized network can take a while, especially if you gather usage data frequently. Having said that, it is fairly efficient, so you should not see any problem for quite some time.
