    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.

    Simpro is well suited for job and team management, tracking inventory and the workflow is very logical. The mobile app for our field technicians works very well to clock on and off and then being in a position to report to a customer based on factual information has made invoicing a breeze! Reporting can be a bit frustrating especially on materials used on different cost centre numbers as you can only specify a job number, but not a cost centre number.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Being a part of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Apps and as it uses Power Platform, to fully leverage all the features and understand its capabilities, one has to know those related products and technologies also.
    • Field Service Mobile support is ending in June 2022, and transitioning to the new Field Service (Dynamics 365) [so that] is something the existing customers would have to plan [for].

    • Ability to create leave forms for the employees (to my best knowledge, this doesn't exist).
    • Ability to color code jobs, quotes by criticality.
    • Assign status to equipment (e.g. "ordered"; "arrived").

    As mentioned before, materials reporting could use some work as one cannot report by cost centre number, only by job number. It makes it difficult with large jobs with multiple cost centre numbers to easily extract information for reporting. Other than that the system is user friendly and easy to understand.

    It is a great option for solar project management. It needs some improvements for real-time one-page reports, inventory management, scheduling and custom views. I believe these will come because they listen to their customers. I would also like to see some better training and not be expected to pay out of pocket for it.

    monday.com was easier to set up and you can create boards with loads of subtasks which helps manage a project. Also, the ability to integrate with google was much better as we could link it to the calendar and also store documents that the engineers could see easier onsite. Overall we could make monday.com work better for our business based on how we are set up but simPRO will be great for other businesses with more specific needs.
