    Having used both Salesforce and Microsoft Marketing, the integration is much tighter and the automation and workflow is much tighter using PowerAutomate. Reporting on tasks is better in Salesforce, but the ability to fully and quickly integrate into the Microsoft Azure stack is well worth the hassle of quickly generating reports.

    The solution is suitable for complex journeys with many touchpoints.
    The tool has the advantage of being easy to use.
    On the other hand, I have not found any data import solutions avoiding re-entering all the data from Excel for example. It could save a lot of time. Indeed, for me, the tool is a tool for formalizing discoveries but other solutions can be used before

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Currently marketing is more contact centric, should add the flexibility of doing segmentation as well as customer journey on leads without associating with contact
    • Pricing is based on number of contact, even if you are not marketing all of them.
    • Cannot reuse the existing marketing lists created in CRM for marketing as seamlessly as in ClickDimensions, even though both uses the same Dataverse

    While the cost was significantly more than other vendors we looked at, the tools are similar to our previous tool so conversion would be (somewhat) easy. We chose it because it directly integrates with Microsoft Dynamics CRM - which we integrated at the same time.

    It’s [easier] to deal with user journey and persons thanks to Smaply. Templates and already created and there is a lot of functionalities to make a complete journey map. It’s very intuitive and we can send it easily to our team. Stakeholder map is a feature that [not many software] have and that is very useful so I’m happy to have it in Smaply
