Why choose D365 CRM
over Salesforce?
Here are the two biggest reasons for why we chose D365 according to
Andrew Ho, CIO, Global Strategy Group
1. Seamless integration between its CRM and PSA modules
It goes without saying that D365 met all our business requirements. However, what’s notable is that D365 met these requirements with one unified suite. Salesforce can only meet our CRM requirements out-of-the-box. It has no PSA functionality unless you either custom develop it or purchase a 3rd party module like FinancialForce or Kimble. (Note: FinancialForce is owned by Salesforce, but it is effectively sold and implemented like a 3rd party package.) In our original Salesforce implementation, we had custom developed this functionality, but if we did it again in Salesforce, we were not going to custom develop as that requires continual upkeep that we’re not willing to maintain.
2. Cost
D365 is a more cost-effective solution than Salesforce because D365 user licensing is less expensive than the equivalent Salesforce user licensing. However, straight cost comparisons aside, there are additional cost-related factors in favor of Dynamics"
