OnPremise vs. Hosted MS CRM 2011

Are there any differences between the OnPremise and Hosted versions of MS CRM 2011 besides price/licensing? Can I deploy solutions or any other custom features to the Hosted version or is that strictly reserved for the default functionality?

We are also considering trying to mold Sharepoint into being our CRM because we are already licensed for it but I'm going to try to reject that.

You can deploy plugins that run in the Sandbox environment in the CRM Online/Hosted environments. You can also deploy custom FetchXML-based reports to Hosted. The main things you can't do in a Hosted environment:

  • "Normal" plugins
  • SQL-based Reports
  • Direct database access (Filtered Views)
  • Custom .NET Workflow activities

And yes, SharePoint shouldn't be your CRM - CRM should be your CRM! :)
