If you were to compare now, DTN/Kinetick and Zenfire are 99% identical in the volume area.

Dan

I reached the same conclusion as eDanny. After trying DTNs free seven day trial and comparing their footprint data to the footprint data from Zen-Fire over a period of several weeks I found no difference.
While I suppose some would balk at several weeks of analysis, if there is no difference over a weeks time with something such as data where the implication is that there are major differences, at what point do I need to continue to look back if there is nothing to suggest anything is going to change? If there is no evidence of a difference within a few weeks can I expect there to be differences two months ago? six months ago? a year? It is sufficient for me to conclude that for my purposes Zen-Fire data is more than adequate.

Agree, everyone should do their own DD, they might be surprised.
