I have been using cricket for about 6 months now and really like its
functionality. As far as having any advantages over MRTG, I don't see any
glaring reason to change if you already use MRTG and like it. I will say
that it was more complex to get running and I had a great deal of
frustration in getting it to work like I wanted it to, but like most things,
once you get it where you want it, it works nicely and you can 'tweak' the
settings to get things working exactly as you see fit.

One thing to note, since it generates the graphs 'on the fly' (unlike mrtg)
it is quite sluggish on your web server. To make things bearable, I highly
recommend using mod-perl, it makes things much snappier and you don't really
notice the delay.

Just my 2 cents worth.
