Featured Reviews

Ramandeep Walia - PeerSpot reviewer
A good legacy solution that is reliable and has good support
We haven't done any implementation in the last ten years. That said, we did upgrade it in 2017-16 to the latest version and it was quite okay. It was complex yet not too much. I'd rate it three and a half out of five in terms of ease of setup.
ThomasPetrou - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency
Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 18, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The feature allows customization as we wish."
"We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features."
"Odoo is flexible and serves us quite well. Its interface has improved."
"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."
"Being open source, it is more affordable compared to alternatives like Oracle or SAP, and I appreciate how easy it is to customize with the available sources."
"Odoo is highly scalable."
"Odoo is widespread in a lot of different industries, and the most powerful feature of Odoo in the manufacturing industry is the forecast."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
 

Cons

"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle."
"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"The solution lacks local API support. Also, it lacks some database integration platforms. In short, it lacks an API integration platform."
"The solution should improve its performance."
"I'm uncertain because each year they release a new version with improvements. However, one area that needs significant enhancement is the website, particularly the modern core website. While there's an approach similar to WordPress, it is quite basic at the moment. Besides that, particularly with the POS solutions, we identified potential security issues. This is due to the storage of information on cookies or similar sessions. In cases of Internet-related issues, there's a vulnerability where data might be compromised. The system uses temporary storage until the internet connection is restored, and then it pushes the data to the server or database. This poses a risk, especially in point-of-sale systems, where there could be vulnerabilities for data modification or alteration by unauthorized individuals."
"There are features that cannot be opened in the community edition and from a user perspective."
"The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface."
"There is a lack of resources for specialized Odoo professionals."
"The solution's reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Odoo is straightforward in terms of costs. You pay the vendor for both the software and implementation. We selected one of the twelve certified vendors for implementation in our local area, opting for the vendor named Four Zero Five."
"Its pricing is well-received in Latin America. They sell by the user. In October 2022, they changed the way they sell Odoo. They commercialized Odoo. They now sell by the user. The cost of a user is $13.5 five per month for Latin America, which is lower than other ERPs."
"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."
