Anyone have had any experience with MS Dynamics CRM? Why would any company choose it over DNN?

I have to visit a company pretty soon. They will see I have DNN as my CRM of choice. However they have that MS product.

I have seen a few videos, and I am reading a litte book on MS Dynamics CRM. I can only see the benefit of integration with MS Outlook and Office. However, I think DNN does better in so many areas.

Would you please give your opinions. Thanks.

i haven't used the product, but it is quite expensive e.g. http://www.greymatter.com/p152114 lists some of the prices. If you were going to use it for an internet site you would require an external connector. Please note it is a full CRM product, allowing to track contacts and your interaction with them, so whilst it may share some characteristics with dotnetnuke they're intended for 2 different audiences.

We use both MSCRM and DNN but for different things. One is a CRM package with more of an internal focus and the other more for a public facing website.

I must say, whenever I compare a certain web based software I always consider DNN with all available modules, commercial and free. Being that the case how do they match?

@Cathal

My point is MS Dynamic CRM provices all those MS Office and other MS products hooks. But is that why one should prefer MS CRM over DNN w/ a purchased CRM module?

@ WEBPC

Why did you not purchase DNN modules for CRM stuff?

As a dedicated CRM product I would suspect that MS CRM would be superior to any DNN CRM modules. In some cases the DNN modules may be sufficent, but that would depend customer to customer. One of it's major advantages is that it needs to be installed on a server, and add's various items to support integration Office/Sharepoint support such as WebDav support. As dotnetnuke works in a much wider variety of scenarios we're unlikely to build that level of integration (or lock-in :) ) into dotnetnuke itself
