Salesforce.com vs Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013

Salesforce.com vs Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Salesforce vs. Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Two CRM companies in a versus-style comparison chart, including pricing. Have you ever wondered if either of these market giants is a good fit for your company?

Both solutions are pioneers in their own right. Salesforce has been in production since 1999 and is widely considered the most recognizable CRM platform on the market today. It has completely innovative features like chatter, AppExchange, and “Sales Cloud” – which contribute largely as to why Salesforce also sports one of the largest price tags for any CRM software.

Microsoft Dynamics on the other hand, while not quite the innovator that Salesforce is, comes equipped with equally powerful tools. Backed with the Microsoft brand, Microsoft Dynamics is able to make large strides towards the front of the CRM pack quicker than most other platforms. It also has the ability to integrate much better with other widely used Microsoft products (like Outlook), giving it a leg up against its competitors.

The features and functionality differ greatly between these two products, but the biggest divide between Salesforce and Microsoft is the price point.

We have created a ten page, no holds barred report to let you know everything these two software titans have to offer. If you want to see the differences in price, deployment, features and functionality, than download this white paper now!

HubSpot vs Pardot

HubSpot Compared to Pardot: Versus

Compared to HubSpot, Pardot has a lot of the same marketing automation and inbound functionality. Up until five years ago, automation tools available to small and mid-sized businesses were fragmented and hard to come by. The norm was that small to mid-sized businesses looking for improved marketing strategies had to hire experts to do the work. That’s no longer the case.

Once you look over this comparison chart, feel free to check out our comparison between HubSpot and Marketo.

QuickBooks vs PeachTree — Complete Comparison Guide

QuickBooks vs Peachtree

Why Accounting Software?

As a small business owner, you have more important things to focus on than accounting. Life is hectic and owning your own business makes it exponentially more so. So, while accounting software programs can’t take away all your burdens, they can make a stressful part of your job much easier.

QuickBooks vs Peachtree

QuickBooks vs Peachtree | Complete Comparison Guide

Sage Peachtree and Intuit QuickBooks own the largest part of small business accounting software market. They are both excellent solutions, and the answer to a lot of small business’s bookkeeping nightmares.

QuickBooks is typically viewed as the easiest accounting software to implement, known for a high user adoption rate and intuitive features. Quickbooks is great for every small business owner even for someone with little to no background in accounting. It has held on to it’s title because the software has a really impressive reputation – and has been the gold standard in small business accounting for many years.

Many small business owners are plagued with double-entry data errors when dealing with their accounts. Most recoil at the thought of bookkeeping, afraid of mistakes and time endlessly frustrating accounting sessions. That fear and hesitation is a large part of QuickBooks success – and rightly so, who wants to spend their spare time knee deep in accounts?

QuickBooks holds 89 percent of the small business accounting software market in the United States. However, Sage’s small business product, Peachtree – now Sage 50, is another popular product that has always given QuickBooks a run for their money. Both products have their own individual strengths and weaknesses, but are similar in quality.

For any size company when you are tracking financials there is absolutely nothing more important than accuracy. This is also true for usability and quality reporting. You want your software to be completely accurate while remaining intuitive enough for anyone to be able to use.

There are free accounting management solutions that are either cheap or free and available online – but they are incredibly limited in scope and features. Those free accounting solutions almost always leave you with inaccurate data and open to fiscal risk. That’s why it is important to at least consider an accounting software solution – there are affordable options out there.

Both in usability and depth, QuickBooks and Peachtree are worth their weight in gold. They are the risk-free options provided to all small-business owners looking for a better accounting solution.

At Softwarefit we want to help you find the right solution for your organization’s individual needs. That is why we built a custom white paper on all QuickBooks and Peachtree editions complete with: pricing, head to head comparisons and essential features overviews.

CRM for MAC – Good News for Apple Users

apple_rainbow_logo

Everyone knows the computer world is divided by one defining question, Mac or PC? Users of Apple products are fiercely loyal to the brand, often owning a macbook, iPhone and iPad. So it’s no surprise the software industry has created CRM for Apple addicts to deploy specifically on Apple products.

CRM for Mac

In addition to CRM systems being customized for Apple’s operating system iOS, the SaaS movement has seen an influx of compatibility for deployment on Apple’s Safari. SaaS CRM solutions have gone further to actually customize their product to be as mobile as their customers demand, by formatting them for iPhone and iPad use.

The CRM solutions designed for iOS are great for Apple users because they almost always sync with the address book and iCal apps. They also benefit from Apple’s intuitive design layout.

CRM solutions designed specifically for iOS are often great tools for smaller companies and families. They are ideal for organization but not as robust as their SaaS counterparts. That is, by in large, a direct result of the market giants – Salesforce.com, Oracle On Demand, SugarCRM etc. offering these SaaS platforms.
