Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The solution is stable.""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.""It provides good visibility.""The most valuable feature of Azure Network Watcher is the cloud-native application firewall. It is helpful for securing databases.""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 features I have found are typology, visualization, and capture.""The solution is good for monitoring device behavior.""We use the solution to monitor network services. It helps to capture any network issues."

More Azure Network Watcher Pros →

"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems.""It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements.""We have benefited mainly from the use of the dashboard interface. It makes the network visually interesting for other people who are not in the network. A lot of people are not network techies who understand streams in the network. Based on location, we have streams coming in and out. They can see visually when there is some problem. They don't need to understand all the network technology behind it to be able to understand if everything is working well or if there is a problem.""One of the most valuable features is the graphs, which you can build instantly. I have used some open-source platforms in the past, but they are not as good. With SevOne, the sampling in the graph can be every few seconds, not just every few minutes, and that's really helpful. It's really fast.""One of the solution's biggest strengths is its capacity management performance, with out-of-the-box reports through NMS, as well as its ability to collect NetFlow-related data from devices. The collection of network performance and flow data is important because we have many critical business applications.""The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go.""It also gives us the closest thing to real-time insight into network performance that we have, with just a 10-second delay. It's very important for us to know the health of the infrastructure very quickly.""With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"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.""The solution could improve by limiting the need to clarify the logs. When the clarification is minimized, it is better for everyone involved.""Lacks sufficient security features.""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.""Azure is good, however, the Fortinet GUI is more intuitive and I like it more than anything else."

More Azure Network Watcher Cons →

"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups.""The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages""One area that requires a little bit of improvement is the topology of visualization and being able to map out connections, end-to-end. It's able to do that, but it's not as impressive as we would like it to be. We would like to understand the different interface types and the connection points better, through the visualization. Heatmaps also need further development.""Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility.""With the administrative management of the appliance, if some object appears from SevOne because something changed in the network or whatever, then as an administrator you will not be aware. If you are using this object in a report, this object will disappear from the report and you will not be aware of it. So, if you have 1,000 reports, you cannot always check these reports everyday to see if objects are missing or information has disappeared. We don't have any information on alerts, saying that something is happening there and maybe we need to take action. If an object was replaced by another one, or if a link was replaced by another one, then the graph needs to be changed because it doesn't exist in the graph anymore. However, we don't have this information.""The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN.""Their virtualization solution is not compatible with our Kubernetes environment, which is one of the reasons we are ending our relationship with them.""Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
