Scoro vs Dynamics 365: Which is a better fit?

Cecilia V.: I'm Cecilia and I'm senior marketing consultant in a marketing agency here in London and the [inaudible 00:00:10] company is almost 25 people and I rate Scoro as a five star software for marketing agency. Before Scoro, we used Trello. But because of the size of the company, because we grew up in the last four, five years and because of the size of the project, it was not useful for us, was too chaotic. For these reasons, we changed to Scoro a couple of years ago. We choose Scoro because it was the only one software in the market that could basically follow all our departments because basically you can manage clients before [inaudible 00:00:59] your client before the client sign a contract. So you can do also the quotes and then you can manage all the projects with Scoro and also work, sending also the invoices and do reports. Starting with Scoro was not difficult because we had an onboarding product and we work with one person that for a few months follow us to understand to onboard all the team into the platform. As a recommendation, I can suggest Scoro if you are looking for a software that can help to grow the marketing agency, to understand in particular where the team invest their time. In particular, if you are working on a remote base is useful because also the tracking time is easy to do it. So you can literally control the team and see if they are using [inaudible 00:02:16] in an correct way and is useful because you can control how much investment you do for each client.

Adoba: Hi everyone, my name is Adoba. I lead technical and product at Alphora, a team of roughly seven to nine. I rate Dynamics at a four out of five. So we use Dynamics most for sales and our marketing. The sales Microsoft relationship, sales is a big part of what we do. We also use the service part, which is the customer service. The marketing part of Microsoft Dynamics help us keep in touch with our customers and our sales reps with the product. So being in the Microsoft ecosystem is one of the best things with Dynamics. You have access to the entire product line that just works seamlessly together. Like I said, we do sales, CRM, marketing. All of those things are the individual products that we considered, but Microsoft was able to bring them together. The product for our sales, which we use the most, has really grown. The features that they've added has just been tremendous, and that's the best part about Microsoft Dynamics for us. I think there's always an issue with seat based billing, which is what we have with Dynamics today. I think that's just the biggest issue, and sometimes I think being part of the ecosystem of having access to Microsoft Dynamics to their products is an advantage but sometimes it can also be a disadvantage because, for us, we had everything siloed before in different other products but when we decided to use Dynamics we had to bring sales together into one product, bring marketing together into one product, bring our [inaudible 00:01:22] together into one product. That's sort of a disadvantage. I'm not sure how well these three things are able to work outside of each other if they're not connected under the same system so it was a huge consideration for us and I think for anyone who is wanting to use Dynamics.
