Overall Satisfaction with Azure Network Watcher

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.

Pros

  • View resources and theri relationship
  • Diagnose network routing problems
  • View security rules for a network interface

Cons

  • Capture packets
  • Diagnose network traffic filtering problems
  • Diagnose ngs rules
  • Less time spent on network troubleshooting
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.

Azure Network Watcher, Auvik
Azure Network Watcher is well-suited for cloud environment, it's necessary for the network troubleshooting. It is especially useful in where you have done integration with azure virtual wan and custom routes (udr) to control traffic in a hub & spoke network with Azure firewall. When the traffic is manipulated with udr, the troubleshooting at the routing level becomes important in some cases.
