Adobe XD vs. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing

Adobe XD is particularly useful and extremely easy to learn if you are a designer or a frequent user of the Adobe Creative Suite. Like all Adobe software, the tools, shortcuts, and interface are very similar to each other and allow for easy migration. Now, if you are not a frequent user of Adobe, it will probably cost a bit more to learn how to use the software, plus it is probably not going to be worth the price just for Adobe XD.

Appropriate if an organization is already using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement products like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service etc. Not appropriate for a big enterprise where has a separate marketing department, and the lead / contact for marketing information / marketing list can come through different applications in the organization, not just Microsoft Dynamics 365 Apps if they have one.

• Wireframing/high fidelity mockups. We're using it for both responsive websites and apps.
• Prototyping. It just gets better with each update, especially with auto-automate.
• Ridiculously small learning curve. In my opinion, everything seems to be just where I would expect it to be, especially being familiar with other Adobe products.

• Builds dynamic audiences using real-time CRM and behavioral data without manual list maintenance.
• Triggers communications based on actions such as purchase, visit date, or post-visit timing.
• Manages high-volume transactional and lifecycle emails with consistent governance and compliance.

• Doesn’t have image editing tools, so having to go back to Photoshop or Lightroom just to make a sight edit can be a pain.
• Could add some text editing functionality. It feels silly that I have to draw a line under text when I should just be able to underline.
• Would be nice to have some real-time collaboration functionality.

Incentivized

• Tracking billable time into F&O is not available
• CRM does not have visibility into DevOps progress, only status
• Some elements of the support ticket are not user friendly

We utilize many of the applications in the Adobe CC suite and our usage of this application came about simply because it was the one that was already paid for. Bearing that in mind we will definitely be renewing the software upon the expiration of the licensing. I am not sure if this is the solution we would go with were it not already included, we would have to evaluate all other options

I wouldn't even think of renewing our use of Marketing 365. It's worthless

Adobe XD is basically on life-support now, there are much better software out there that do everything XD can do, and a few that you don't even have to pay a monthly subscription fee on. While Adobe XD is great as shortcuts that are used in other CC software works, and its integration with CC is great. But it still lacks compared to its closest competitor.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing is extremely usable in order to manage all of my organization's customer information across the organization. Further we use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing to manage all of our marketing campaigns from beginning to end. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing makes my organization more able to run a professional marketing strategy.

I have not had a need to connect with the Adobe XD support team as of yet, but from past experience when dealing with the other products, the support has been very very good, and I would have no reason to think that this product would be any different. There are a good number of training videos on the Adobe site for this product as well as on other social media sites so a quick search should let you find the answers in several different ways.

Like all Microsoft corporation products, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing comes with the extremely high-quality customer support that Microsoft corporation has become well known for.

Adobe XD used to be able to stack great, but I would select Figma over Adobe XD any day. Much better features, better quality of life features and includes darkmode. Another great part of Figma is the fact you can strickly use it in a browser without having to install any apps, but if you do install the apps, it works great if not better.

Salesforce has much better reporting capabilities inside the system, where Dataverse has to be utilized for building sources for Business Intelligence reporting. This is not as real-time as Salesforce, but the ability to configure and integrate the system into the Azure stack is much greater and well worth the inconvenience.

• The time it takes to design in Adobe XD is significantly faster. Saving time.
• It boosts productivity, causing better ideas to be created.
• It's easy to use and quick to learn. Not much of a learning curve so we can get to work pretty quickly.

• We've only been using it for 8 months so I cannot comment on the cost aspect
• From a marketing and data perspective - it is invaluable.
