Magic Quadrant

Here is an abstract of Gartner review of Microsoft CRM using the Gartner Magic Quadrant.

Microsoft

From an organizational perspective, Microsoft is having a transitional year with changes of management. Although not disclosed in numbers, the whole Dynamics 365 suite showed a 67% growth rate. We evaluated Dynamics 365 for Customer Service (v.8.2), released in 2017.

The on-premises product continues to account for the majority of the references for larger and more complex customer service requirements, though the trend is toward online deployment. New business is directed to the online model, which the 2018 customer references were mostly delivered through.

We note that with the 2018 release (now GA), Dynamics 365 complies with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Strengths

  • Reference customers reported that Microsoft offers an intuitive user interface and straightforward customization tools, which lead to the fast setup of standard customer service environments.
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a modular set of products that extend beyond customer service and share a common data service. Organizations can add Dynamics 365 capabilities such as Power BI, PowerApps (for citizen developers to build custom apps), sales, procurement and field service.
  • Microsoft is one of the world’s most financially stable and profitable software companies. Its product integrates with software lines that have over 1 billion users. Reference customers reported good integration with Microsoft products and other standard tools.
  • Microsoft continues to offer both on-premises and online versions with the same or similar functionalities on the same code base. It also supports a wide range of local languages. It is one of few options available to organizations that are unable or unready to use the cloud.
  • Through the Unified Service Desk, organizations can better integrate and automate across Microsoft Dynamics 365, legacy and third-party data applications.
