Monitoring traffic has improved cost control and threat visibility across network flows
The main area for improvement is AI-based features. Currently, many intelligent tools are coming from third parties, and Azure Network Watcher needs to improve in this area. The focus should be on getting better analytics and foundation models for proactive monitoring through AI models. While these capabilities exist, they are still in beta version. Azure Network Watcher should improve to match the capabilities that Google is targeting from an analytical point of view. Azure Network Watcher needs to improve foundation models in terms of AI-specific features and analytics, which are still evolving. This may take some time, but within one or two years, these improvements should reach a nine rating.

Useful special algorithm analysis, responsive support, and scalable
Based on what I've seen in a demo a while ago, I did not see any other network monitoring software like this one. The solution goes into every little corner of your network. You receive the full visibility of your entire network. Other solutions, such as SolarWinds and PRTG you can only see what we call a tunnel vision of the network. I rate cPacket cClear a nine out of ten.
