    copied!<p>I have some possibly ambiguous questions, I'm not sure if I'll get the right answer but thought I would put it out there, as not sure where else to get the answers.</p> <p>As a department have spent the last 2 years implementing various modern development practises, Agile, Scrum, TDD, Continuous Integration, MVC.</p> <p>My company is now going to move to Microsoft Dynamics CRM, (currently we use a 3rd party product). They want to use Dynamics as a CRM, but also for bespoke custom development, From doing some reading and background learning I can appreciate Microsoft Dynamics is an excellent product, that has its place, and solves a problem for a lot of businesses. My knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics is from the following videos. <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/DynamicsCRM2011" rel="nofollow">http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/DynamicsCRM2011</a></p> <p>Our implementation is likely to be highly customised to the business, we will also build a whole lot of custom apps within Dynamics CRM. My company is a Microsoft house, so we already use .NET, SQL Server etc.</p> <p>My questions:</p> <ul> <li><p>Does Microsoft Dynamics allow for modern development practises such as TDD, Continuous Integration, MVC?</p></li> <li><p>If the CRM part is highly customised will we lose the benefits of using Dynamics CRM?</p></li> <li><p>What is its reputation as a product in the marketplace?</p></li> <li><p>Is it faster or slower to develop bespoke custom applications with lots of business rules in Dynamics CRM as opposed to a custom MVC app?</p></li> <li><p>What are the known limitations or drawbacks?</p></li> <li><p>What are other good alternatives, if any?</p></li> </ul> <p>I realise there is no answer, only opinions, if anyone has used or has a point of view or can point me to some good links that balance opinion and fact, it would be much appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
