"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"What I like most about Azure Network Watcher is that it's focused more on the architecture. I also like that it has a packet capture feature that tells you how the packet travels and whether it's exiting Azure, etc."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Network Watcher is using the gateways with the connections. The monitoring is useful for the logs and application insights into the data. The traffic filtering issues when it comes to deploying those applications are helpful."
"The most valuable features I have found are typology, visualization, and capture."
"I like the visibility."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is good for monitoring device behavior."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Network Watcher is the cloud-native application firewall. It is helpful for securing databases."
"We use the solution to monitor network services. It helps to capture any network issues."
"The integration with other SolarWinds products is good."
"The most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network."
"It doesn't cost too much."
"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."
"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"The bandwidth monitoring functionality is one of the most important features for our customers. When the customer notices that their bandwidth usage is too high for some reason, they will use the traffic analysis within SolarWinds NTA to identify which protocols (e.g. HTTPS) or applications are using up the bandwidth."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Lacks sufficient security features."
"The solution could improve by limiting the need to clarify the logs. When the clarification is minimized, it is better for everyone involved."
"Azure Network Watcher needs to have better documentation and it needs to capture information accurately."
"I would like to see in the future if we can troubleshoot as a firewall because it is equipment as a network player and some diagnostics."
"The initial setup and initial learning curve could be improved to be easier."
"The initial setup and deployment could be improved to be simplified."
"Azure Network Watcher could improve by having other built-in applications. For example, an application to log activities for in and outbound traffic."
"Azure is good, however, the Fortinet GUI is more intuitive and I like it more than anything else."
"It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."
"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."
