Paribus 365 is a data quality tool embedded in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM. Its fuzzy search looks across multiple entities and can find records despite incomplete or misspelled names.

Lead Management highlights existing customers and associates Leads with them during qualification and engagement. Smart Entity Lookups uses fuzzy matching to help users choose a CRM entity. The Free Edition supports unlimited users and up to 100,000 records, with free support and help resources. Search and Detect starts at $5.50 per user per month, plus a data-volume charge, and requires at least 10 users. Data Cleansing costs $825.00 per month with a minimum initial commitment of two months. A fully assisted 30-day trial includes the listed search, duplicate management, cleansing, lead management and lookup features.
