Azure Network Watcher for Network Analytics
It is used for troubleshooting Azure Cloud related Network issue. Useful tools such as Topology, Connection Monitor, Network Performance Monitor and Next Hop are extremely beneficial. It has helped us with diagnosing specific issues related to Network. We use this for our entire Azure Tenant Environment and also for some On-premise Connectivity such as Express Route Monitoring.
- Assists us in verifying IP Flow inbound and outbound from IAAS Resources.
- Allows us to view the effective security rule on a Network Security Group and the IAAS Resource.
- Visualize your Traffic Patterns and security via the Traffic Analytics tool
- Allows for deep packet captures for analysis.
- More granular visualization through the Azure Network. Ex. Seeing NSG Flow through each Hop.
- Allow for more capabilities to view Connectivity through On-Premise Networks.

- Helped us diagnose IP and Port flow from a DNS integration project resulting in success of the project
- Has helped numerous times analyzing IP Port flow from Resources
I really have not experiences with Solarwinds in the Azure Public Cloud. I would believe Solarwinds would have a good product in comparison. However with my experiences with Azure Tools, I do not think I would be inclined to go that route unless a reason presents itself. I am satisfied with Azure Network Watcher.

Azure Network Watcher can help with resources in the Cloud if this device is able to send traffic. We are using Azure Network Watcher in cases Solarwinds can't cover easily like API to load balancers & additional testing.
We are using Azure Network Watcher for various purpose in our organization, we have multiple on-premises official websites in various locations hence using Azure Network watcher to monitor, view metrics, setting up alerts, repairing health of IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) products like load balancer, virtual machines etc. Azure Network watcher has a wide scope in networking area.

Integration and Simplicity for Cloud Network Analysis
I used it to monitor, diagnose and view metrics for resources in Azure Network Watcher's virtual network (Virtual Machines, Virtual Networks, Application Gateways, Load balancers, etc..). The most important features that I used are: IP flow to verify if a packet is allowed/denied to/from a VM and next-hop to monitor traffic from between the VM and destination based on the effective routes associated with a network interface nic.
- View resources and theri relationship
- Diagnose network routing problems
- View security rules for a network interface
- Capture packets
- Diagnose network traffic filtering problems
- Diagnose ngs rules

Azure Network Watcher is built into Azure and is much more powerful, less expensive. Microsoft is investing heavily in its cloud solutions and cloud service, Microsoft is always becoming a leader in this area. The strong integration and ease of use via blades from the azure portal also makes it quick to learn.
