Both state a fit for companies in a similar size range and sit in comparable cost bands, which is why they turn up on the same shortlist. Everything below is drawn from the two vendor records, each of which cites its sources. Any other pairing can be built in the comparison tool, including ones we do not generate a page for.

How Stackmark characterises each system, in its own words, from the sourced record.
Project ERP for architecture, engineering and consulting firms, joining CRM and pipeline, resource planning, project delivery and firm accounting in one system. Deltek sells it to firms from small practices to large multi-office organisations, mostly on its own cloud.
Microsoft's ERP for small and midsize companies, covering finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, warehousing and projects, with manufacturing and service management in the Premium licence. It is sold and implemented through Microsoft's partner network and runs online or on-premises.
Every module either system documents, side by side. A module both list is a shared claim, not a statement that the two implementations are equivalent.

This page is one pairing. Stackmark generates a page for the pairings a buyer is likely to shortlist, which is a starting point and not a limit: any two systems can be laid side by side, including combinations we never pair.
