Overall Satisfaction with Azure Network Watcher

Currently, we are using the Azure Network Watcher to capture packet data from the virtual systems and monitor the traffic and performance of Load balancers in the Cloud.
  • Monitor endpoints Health for Azure Traffic Manager
  • Monitor VM Machine resources
  • Deliver reports for IT department
  • Agent can't be installed in some VM Appliance machines
  • Improve the dashboard & graphics
  • Improve the API integration
  • We could disable some NPM systems on-premise
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.
