Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing vs. Rudderstack

Having used both Salesforce and Microsoft Marketing, the integration is much tighter and the automation and workflow is much tighter using PowerAutomate.

Rudderstack offers a similar core product as Segment but differentiates itself with better reverse ETL and data warehouse integrations. They are also significantly less expensive than Segment. While Segment has more downstream destinations than Rudderstack this didn't negatively impact our use case
