Compare Azure Network Watcher vs. Flowcious

Utilize Network Watcher to monitor and troubleshoot networking problems without the need to access your virtual machines (VMs) directly. You can initiate packet captures by configuring alerts and obtain real-time performance insights at the packet level. Upon detecting an issue, you have the opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation to enhance your diagnosis. Additionally, delve into your network traffic patterns with the aid of network security group flow logs and virtual network flow logs. The insights garnered from these flow logs are invaluable for collecting data related to compliance, auditing, and overseeing your network security posture. Network Watcher also empowers you to identify and analyze common VPN gateway and connection issues, enabling not only the pinpointing of the problem but also utilizing the comprehensive logs generated for deeper analysis. This comprehensive approach allows you to maintain a robust and secure networking environment.

Introducing a robust big-data platform based on NetFlow/IPFIX that enhances both NetOps and SecOps by facilitating intricate decision-making processes. This system offers network insights akin to Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) but without the associated costs and scalability hurdles. It enables real-time threat detection and response, from identifying anomalies to pinpointing compromised hosts, utilizing advanced machine learning techniques. Designed for extraordinary scalability, it operates on networks capable of handling Terabit-Per-Second speeds and manages trillions of flow records across the globe. Our specialized NetFlow and IPFIX engine employs proprietary machine learning algorithms to transform standard meta-information into insights that rival DPI capabilities. Access to timely and accurate information is essential for making sound decisions, and our platform is meticulously crafted to meet that need. Additionally, it allows users to monitor bandwidth consumption by application, easily identify congestion points, and gain comprehensive insights into network traffic patterns. Beyond real-time monitoring, the platform also includes storage solutions for raw traffic, facilitating thorough incident analysis and forensic investigations.
