About the CRM functionality from Microsoft
First there were CRM, Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Then came Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE). Then came Power Apps and the former Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365 became customer engagement (model-driven) apps, built on Power Platform. These apps are also referred to as first-party model apps. Examples are Dynamics 365 Sales and Dynamics 365 Customer Service. The on-premise version still goes under the name Dynamics 365 CE.
