An Overview of
SugarCRM vs. MS Dynamics
About SugarCRM
Strengths
• Mobile device, User Interface (UI) and social technology.
• Flexible customization environment leverages open industry-standard technologies like HTML5, REST, JavaScript and PHP.
• Attractive, easy-to-understand pricing model; customers pay the same subscription price, regardless of model.
• Cloud-neutral strategy enables customers to run and move between SugarCRM deployments on a variety of cloud infrastructures at a competitive price point.

Cautions
• Is in the process of expanding direct sales and partnerships to support larger SFA (Sales Force Automation) implementations.
• SugarCRM has shown improvement in increasing the depth and breadth of the ecosystem in the past 12 months.
• One subscription price, regardless of delivery model, is easy for customers to understand; however, some customers question why they would not get a price break if they are taking on the operational burden of running software on-premises.
An Overview of
SugarCRM vs. Microsoft Dynamics
About Microsoft Dynamics
Strengths
• New process-centric UI will enhance the user experience.
• Increased R&D investment is applied to other Microsoft products, such as SharePoint, Lync, Yammer and Skype..
• There is a common data model with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM on-premises offering.
• The Microsoft per-user, per-month price remains at the mid to lower end of pricing for SFA (Sales Force Automation) SaaS offerings.

Cautions
• Reporting and analytics are not as flexible online as on-premises. Most customers with complex reporting and analytics needs will bring the data on-premises and use SQL Server Reporting Services.
• Does not provide a development sandbox, which is a problem for customers that want to test development or configuration changes prior to production in the cloud. With the Microsoft Polaris release, customers can buy additional instances for testing or development in the cloud. Microsoft enables customers to develop on-premises locally. Then, through the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online solution management capabilities, users can move the on-premises configuration and customization changes to the online environment.
• Smartphone (target release 4Q13) and iPad/Windows 8 tablet (target release 4Q13) show promise, but will need to be proven.

through native client • Effectively supports IE, Chrome, and
Firefox • Integrates with common social providers
such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter
Value • Confusing pricing depending on deployment option
• One price regardless of deployment choice • No “add-ons” or hidden fees
Flexibility • Only supports Windows stack • Complex customization requirements • Limited cloud deployment options
• Large cross-platform support matrix • Uses common standards (REST, PHP,
multiple DB’s and OS’s) • Deploy anywhere
