1. Visibility, ability to provide deep insight into all of the network traffic.
2. Analytic engines, the ability to use multiple detection engines like ML-based, Zeek, Suricata, etc.
3. Scale, ability to address policy requirements for N/S and E/W deployments on-prem or in the cloud along with scaleable retention (weeks/months) for PCAP or network metadata.
4. Any and all NTA solutions need to be able to ingest threat intel and be able to integrate easily into SOAR and SIEM solutions.
Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) offers in-depth visibility into network operations, helping identify patterns, anomalies, and potential security threats. It assists IT professionals in optimizing network performance and enhancing security measures by analyzing data traffic. Network Traffic Analysis tools are essential in monitoring and analyzing network data to detect performance issues and security threats. They collect and analyze data packets traversing the network to provide insights on...

5. It needs to fit with budget!
Thanks @Nicholas Arraje this is really useful.
