Dispatch vs. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service (FieldOne)

Dispatch is well suited for teams looking to improve their delivery notification process. The ability to notify customers via automated phone call or text is invaluable and takes the burden away from the drivers and delivery team on the ground, who can be unreliable and inefficient at times depending on the situation.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service is [...] one of the best tools when it comes to delivering on-site service to customer locations. Organizations can follow [a] proactive and predictive service model by using Connected Field Service, [which] provides capabilities to connect to IoT devices and to remotely diagnose, monitor, and service the devices by integrating with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub and using Microsoft Azure IoT Hub PaaS offering.

Dispatch has timely customer service and set up support. Unfortunately, they are only able to assist via phone and do not have a chat option. Chatting would be much easier for being able to answer simple questions or software issues instead of having to wait on hold over the phone.

We used Route4Me but surprisingly there are very few alternatives and companies on the market that are well suited for performing this kind of tracking. I am somewhat disappointed that Dispatch is the only option, only because the desktop and mobile applications can be so buggy and, at times, unreliable. But, the other existing options on the market are much worse.
