Difference between CRM 2011 Plug-In and Workflow
Difference between CRM 2011 Plug-In and Workflow
|
Criteria
|
Plug-in
|
Workflow
|
|
Execution before or after the core
platform operation (Create, Update, Delete, and so on)
|
Executes immediately before or after the
core operation (synchronous).Can also be queued to execute after the core
operation (asynchronous).
|
Queued to execute after the core
operation (always asynchronous).
|
|
Performance impact on the server
|
Synchronous plug-ins can increase the
platform’s response time because they are part of the main platform
processing.Asynchronous plug-ins have less impact on server response time
because the code is run in a different process.

|
|
Security restrictions
|
To register a plug-in with the platform
requires a System Admin or System Customizer security role and membership in
the Deployment Administrator group.
|
Users can interactively create workflows
in the Web application.However, to register a custom workflow activity, the
deploying user must have the same security roles as those required for
registering plug-ins.
|
|
Microsoft Dynamics CRM version (SKU)
support
|
Supported in Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Online when registered in the sandbox. May be supported in partner-hosted
installations at the discretion of the partner.
|
Workflows without custom workflow
activities are supported by all product versions. Custom workflow activities
are not supported on Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online.
|
|
Length of processing time
|
A plug-in registered for synchronous or
asynchronous execution is restricted to complete its execution within a 2
minute time limit.
|
Works well for either short or long
processes.
|
|
Works when the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM for Outlook client is offline
|
Both online and offline are supported.
|
Workflows do not execute when offline.
|
|
Process and data persistence
|
Plug-ins execute to completion. Plug-ins
must be written to be stateless where no in-memory data is persisted.
|
Workflows can be paused, postponed,
canceled, and resumed through SDK calls or by the user through the Web
application. The state of the workflow is automatically saved before it is
paused or postponed.
|
|
Impersonation
|
Plug-ins can perform data operations on
behalf of another system user.
|
Workflows cannot use impersonation.
