I've had very discussion with both existing Marketo customers (on MSD CRM) as well as partners who offer more robust connectors (Skribe, Perkuto, etc) that validate many of the shortcomings/issues with the native Marketo connector. Just tap into the MSD virtual user group to learn more. Perkuto has a good blog post on some of these limitations: Marketo and Microsoft Dynamics - 3 Tips from the Trenches - Marketo & Salesforce - Consulting Servic...
Knowing that Microsoft themselves uses Marketo, a common question has always been "how does MS make the native connector work in their environment?" (knowing how complex their lead management process must be. Well, apparently, they have custom-built their own connector. Many of us who work in complex, global organizations are envious of this and would love to see Microsoft share back the love with Marketo customers.
