The short answer

Organizations with a Microsoft 365 footprint, an IT team and processes that justify a configurable platform.

Skip it if: small businesses that want to sign up and start selling the same day.

For a Microsoft-centred enterprise, Dynamics 365 Sales is often the most coherent option: one identity, one data platform, one vendor. For anyone else it is a heavy system whose advantages you will not use.

$65 per userFull review

Growing and large companies with complex processes, multiple teams and the resources to administer the platform.

Skip it if: small teams without an administrator that want to be productive in the first week.

Salesforce is the right answer when your process is the product and you can staff an admin. For a team under 20 without one, it is usually more CRM than you need.
