Midmarket companies with dedicated administrators and processes that standard CRMs cannot model.

SugarCRM suits midmarket organizations that need a platform they can tailor and, if necessary, host themselves. Small teams looking for quick setup will be happier with lighter tools.
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.
