What Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights is, in short

It is typically strongest for mid-market to enterprise organisations already standardised on Microsoft’s business applications and Power Platform, and less attractive if you want a lightweight standalone CDP or have a limited budget for capacity-based scaling.
