Pricing and data storage - Microsoft Dynamics CRM v.s. Salesforce.com - Part 3

-


While comparing between SFDC & Dynamics CRM, like other is Pricing is a very critical decision maker with other features & some time.


Licensing price comparison with respective edition features:

 



Since November 2013, Unlimited Edition is no longer available for purchase. Existing Unlimited Edition customers can continue to renew Unlimited Edition, purchase additional licenses, or upgrade to Performance Edition, which includes all Unlimited Edition functionality plus Data.com, Work.com, Identity, Live Agent, Salesforce Knowledge, and additional sandbox functionality.
Unlimited Edition customers can choose to upgrade to Performance Edition or continue to use Unlimited Edition, which will continue to receive enhancements and innovations during salesforce.com’s regular upgrade cycles.

Data Storage:

Differences in storage are important to note as well. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online provides 5 GB of storage upfront compared to the 2 GB offered by Salesforce.com. For CRM Online, additional storage can be purchased at $119.88 per year per 1 GB of data or file storage. Salesforce.com however charges $250.00 per year for an additional 1 GB of just data storage. For additional file storage, they charge an extra $60.00 per 1 GB. This means, if you need both, Salesforce.com will charge you $310.00 a year for those extra 2 MB.




A Salesforce.com account is also called an organization. For organizations with less than 50 users, the account gets 1GB of DATA STORAGE and 12.5GB of FILE STORAGE.
With Professional and Enterprise User Licenses, you get 20MB/user (Unlimited User licenses get 120MB/user)
Depending on your business, it is absolutely possible to spend more on data storage than licensing annually.Additional storage space can always be purchased from Salesforce.com. They sell storage space in 50MB and 500MB blocks. An additional 500MB of Data storage is $125 / mo while File Storage is $5 / mo for 1 GB

I hope pricing and data storage comparison between Microsoft Dynamics CRM & Salesforce.com will help to understandthe differences and decision making.

 Please free to post your feedback comments.

To start with let’s first understand the basics and approach I took to achieve this. Following are the  major components are involved to make it happen. These are not software requirement. Software requirements are defined later in this article. 1.                   Salesforce instance – Source e.g.: Dev Sand Box where the configuration and customization has been done. 2.                   Eclipse with force.com IDE: This used to pull the desired code and components to be deployed at other Salesforce.com instance. 3.                   GitHub repository as source control 4.                   Jenkins : It control the deployment 5.                   Salesforce-Ant build tool

Cloud based CRMs (Dynamics CRM v.s. Salesforce) -Part 2

-
As promised in my last article (Part-1) here is the next version. You can find part-1 down below this page. Reports and Dashboards Microsoft had a pre-developed reporting engine within SQL Server called SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Therefore, they made an understandable decision to use SSRS as the CRM reporting engine rather than creating CRM-specific. To utilize SQL and SSRS with in CRM, Microsoft built the integration between the CRM application and the SSRS. On the other hand, in absence of its own reporting engine Salesforce built its reporting engine from scratch and then leveraged this creation.  Salesforce reports don’t offer One-Click drill down. Salesforce reports has a lag of 30-60 minutes There were 25 types of pre-build reports are provided by Dynamics CRM.
