Dynamics 365 configuration comparison

See what changed across Dynamics 365 environments.

Compare Dynamics 365 data across environments at three levels: form to form, data entity to data entity, and table to table, for Finance & Operations and Customer Engagement, from one browser-based platform.

The problem

Knowing what changed shouldn't take hours of manual validation.

Configuration spans hundreds of forms and every legal entity, and there is no reliable way to see what arrived.

Validation is done by eye

Two screens, one consultant, and only a sample of forms checked.

“It worked in UAT”

One parameter that never made the trip causes the go-live incident.

Legal entities multiply the work

Twenty minutes for one company becomes a day across twelve.

A refresh erases the evidence

Copy production down, and what the sandbox held is gone.

Compare Dynamics 365 data across environments, at three levels.

Connect development, build, test, UAT, sandbox and production, then compare any pair in either direction. Run the comparison at one level or all three, so no part of the configuration sits outside what CompareIQ can reach.

Level 01 · Where CompareIQ is different

Beyond tables: compare what your users actually see.

Configuration does not live in a table. It lives on a screen, arranged the way a consultant thinks about it and labelled the way the application labels it. CompareIQ captures it there, through the form's own data sources, so the comparison comes back in language your team can act on without translation.

  • Labels, not columns: fields carry the form's own caption
  • Values, not codes: 2 arrives as “Balance”
  • References resolved: number sequences show the code in use
  • System noise removed: record IDs, versions and audit stamps excluded
Connected environments
  • DEV ↔ BUILD ↔ TEST ↔ UAT ↔ SANDBOX ↔ PRODUCTION
  • Any two connected environments, in either direction
  • All selected legal entities in a single run

  • Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, in one platform and one report format. Finance & Operations is compared form to form, by data entity and by table; Customer Engagement by Dataverse table and column.

  • No. Every form in the deployment is catalogued and searchable, so setting up a comparison does not require anyone to know internal names or dig through the application object tree. Results come back with the form's own captions and displayed values.

  • Any two connected environments, in either direction, at any stage from development to production: development, build, test, UAT, sandbox and production, across all selected legal entities.

  • No. CompareIQ is read-only by design and never writes to the configuration or business data being compared. The package is additive only: new tables, no overlayering and no modified standard tables, and removing the model removes the product with no database cleanup.

  • Yes. Several legal entities are captured in a single run, so a twelve-company setup is one job rather than twelve, and the twelfth company gets the same attention as the first.

  • Yes. Large captures run in the background instead of holding a user session open, and comparisons can be saved, repeated, scheduled and exported as a record of what was checked and when.

  • It is a browser-based platform on Microsoft Azure with Microsoft Entra ID sign-in, available on Microsoft AppSource as a Contact me offer. Licensing is a subscription, scoped to the environments you connect.
