Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you're distribution/manufacturing-heavy and care most about ERP depth: Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Acumatica / Epicor-style stacks are often better fits” GPT-5.4 mini · Order management · direct prompt · alternative
“If your company runs almost exclusively on Windows, Outlook, and Excel, Microsoft Dynamics is often the smartest choice.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · CRM · direct prompt · alternative
“Dynamics 365 Sales - a CRM solution that offers a range of features including sales pipeline management and automation.” Llama 4 Maverick · CRM · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Offers an Intelligent Order Management component that handles order orchestration, fulfillment, and lifecycle processes” Llama 4 Maverick · Order management · paraphrase prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“The "ERP-as-a-PIM" Trap (e.g., trying to use SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · PIM · negative prompt · hard negative
“Standard mobile applications for giant legacy CRMs (such as Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics) without highly customized, field-specific setups.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Field sales · negative prompt · soft negative
“the interface is often criticized for being cluttered and difficult to navigate, leading to low user adoption” GLM 4.7 FlashX · CRM · negative prompt · soft negative
“They are over-engineered for most non-technical companies. The learning curve is steep” Qwen 3.7 Flash · CRM · negative prompt · soft negative

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
