RE: Which is more performant Plugin or Workflow?

Hi,

Workflows are better when you need the operation needs to be configured periodically by non programmer administrator, where you can implement the configuration part as standard workflow , and static part of the functionality as custom workflow which will be executed by the standard workflow (workflow1).

Custom workflows has limited triggers when comparing to those of plugins, this is because Custom workflows need to be called from an OOB which can be triggered on create,update,delete or assign.

Plugins are richer in feature in terms of data bindings, triggers, execution ordering, which makes very high level of control over the operation and flexibility.

The selection will be depending on the situation. Plugin has more flexible triggers.

Thanks,

Soumen
