Traffic Switching Solutions

Azure Traffic Manager is our primary site availability and performance solution for all services we provide to our employees. We have a complex setup with multi-sites and a cloud region, and inbound traffic hit multiple locations, we have multiple [Azure Traffic Manager] configuration for numerous services, for example, for services offered from multiple locations, we have region-based configuration that returns the nearest endpoint for clients. Additionally, we use [Azure Traffic Manager] to provide High Availability across multiple regions, downtime hits 30 seconds in case of a failure with a connected client, which is considered minimal for us, users are then directed to the next healthy endpoint. [Azure Traffic Manager] is considered an essential part of our setup, without it, many of our business services will be affected and many more complex technologies would be required

Performance DNS Load Balancing for Lowest Latency Endpoint to Clients
Priority-Based DNS Load Balancing to ensure maximum up time for a service
Geographic-based DNS Load Balancing to force certain clients in certain regions to connect to specific endpoints

Traffic View is a great feature, but doesn't work very well, sometimes it gets stuck and stops loading traffic view data
Automatic probing for endpoints sometimes gets stuck too, I would recommend a technique to test the endpoint in real time from Azure Portal
Traffic View heatmap is buggy and doesn't point correctly to locations
Traffic View portal doesn't show source countries (Shows coordinates) it would be much more helpful to have coordinates auto-translated to geolocations/countries

Performance DNS Load Balancing
High Availability for Services across Multiple Datacenters
High Availability & Load Balancing for Inbound Traffic Across Multiple Internet Links

Service cost is exceptionally low
Overall, this product saves a lot of money for the value it provides and it isn't expensive
It's around half a dollar per million queries, which is truly peanuts, extras may be required if you do advanced configuration
I can't see any reason why any business wouldn't be using this product, very low investment for a very high return and savings
