Which to choose?
Salesforce for businesses seeking the best possible CRM. Dynamics 365 for Microsoft-centric businesses wanting integrated CRM + ERP.
Our verdict
For mid-to-large SMEs, the choice depends on the ecosystem. If the business is already Microsoft-centric and needs an integrated management system (CRM + ERP + Finance), Dynamics 365 offers a unified platform. If the focus is on CRM as a standalone tool for the sales team, Salesforce has the broadest and most mature ecosystem.
