Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing vs. Smaply

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing is very well suited for situations where an organization wants to manage the customer information that it has gathered and share it all across the entire organization so that it is unified and integrated. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing is less suited to smaller organizations that do not have a need for such a complex marketing platform.

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

• 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

I wouldn't even think of renewing our use of Marketing 365. It's worthless

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing is extremely usable in order to manage all of my organization's customer information across the organization. Further we use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing to manage all of our marketing campaigns from beginning to end. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing makes my organization more able to run a professional marketing strategy.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing is similar to ClickDimensions, as they both are tightly integrated with Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement. ClickDimensions is more suitable for relatively small and mid sized organization. ClickDimensions provides the solution to be imported within the existing Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution, so easy for existing CRM users to use it, however this also creates a dependency. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing as a separate Unified Interface App, makes it better to use as a stand alone application for the department.

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
