Odoo Reviews

I use Odoo primarily as our ERP system within my organization. It serves as a comprehensive solution that meets a wide range of our business needs. Odoo's capabilities extend to areas such as accounting, inventory management, sales and CRM, human resources, and more.

I find the financial module, along with the integrations of projects and the HR human resource module, to be the most valuable aspects of Odoo.

There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities. More robust and versatile reporting options would make the system even more efficient and user-friendly.

I have been using Odoo for six years.

The solution is stable once it is fully deployed and live. There might be some issues during the initial trial and configuration phases, but after deployment, it operates smoothly. Updates are infrequent (annually), contributing to its stability.

The solution is somewhat limited in scalability in certain cases, but it has the potential for more scalability. The clients working with the solution are primarily medium-sized businesses. It may not be the best fit for smaller or larger enterprises.

The technical support is good. I would rate it as a six out of ten. To enhance support, the support team should have a strong understanding of the system's technical aspects, enabling them to offer quick and personalized assistance to users.

Before Odoo, I had experience working with similar tools such as Microsoft Dynamics, specifically Microsoft Dynamics AX, and NetSci. These tools are often considered more cost-effective for small and medium organizations. For example, Microsoft Dynamics AX can be quite expensive in terms of licensing and support, and deployments can be complex and time-consuming. Additionally, there is a new solution called Microsoft Dynamics Integration Center, which encompasses financial and CRM modules.

The installation of Odoo itself is relatively easy, but the configuration can be a bit challenging. It often requires some adjustments to align with the specific needs and utilities of an organization, whether it is for internal use or a customer's deployment. This feedback on the installation process is consistent across various scenarios. The installation typically doesn't take much time, usually around two weeks. However, the configuration phase can vary significantly, depending on the specific needs of the organization. Factors like financial integrations, tax modules, and other customizations influence the duration of the deployment. It is highly dependent on the organization's requirements and how they choose to set up their Odoo system. The number of people needed to deploy an Odoo solution varies and depends on factors like the company's size and specific requirements. It is primarily determined by the complexity of the project and the scope of customization. For customers with minimal requirements, especially those focused on financial aspects, deploying a basic system may not demand many resources. They might opt for the free version, involving an architect, a database administrator, and a few developers. In contrast, a full ERP deployment typically requires more extensive engagement and a larger team. Maintaining Odoo is generally straightforward, with a major focus on database backup and overall system backup processes, making it a relatively easy task. Cloud-based subscriptions are increasingly favored for their convenience, while those without cloud subscriptions can still use on-premise solutions with authentication servers. The choice between these options varies, but cloud subscriptions are gaining popularity.

For Odoo, licensing options are flexible. Clients can choose to pay for licenses on a monthly or yearly basis. Some clients opt for monthly licensing for specific project-based needs, while others prefer annual payments for the core modules. The pricing is primarily based on the license itself, without additional costs for deployment, configuration, support, maintenance, and other extras, which can be discussed separately.

My advice for those considering Odoo is that it is an excellent choice for small and medium businesses as it provides comprehensive business management capabilities, easy usability, and robust reporting. However, larger enterprises with more complex needs and a higher budget might want to explore other solutions from providers like Oracle, SAP, or Dynamics, depending on their specific requirements. The choice should align with the organization's size and needs. Overall, I would rate it as a five out of ten.

We have experience with Microsoft 365, SAP Business One, Oracle Fusion, and Odoo. After evaluating all four ERPs, we found Odoo to be a comfortable choice for us due to its user-friendly interface, customization options, and the convenience of working within our own environment.

With Odoo, being open source is advantageous because we have access to the source code for whatever we develop. This gives us the flexibility to make additions, deletions, or modifications according to our needs without any restrictions. There are no predefined formats that limit our customization options.        

It's too early to make a definitive statement about Odoo as we are currently in the implementation stages. Once the implementation is complete and the system is up and running, we'll be able to provide feedback on its effectiveness and suitability for our needs. The implementation is very straightforward, and the system is easy to operate, similar to working with a spreadsheet. If there's one thing that could significantly enhance the system, it would be incorporating more AI capabilities.

It is currently in the implementation stage, and we've been working on it for about three months now.

So far, it's working well. Since it's an open-source solution, we have the flexibility to integrate or develop almost anything into it. It appears to be user-friendly, and even for users with legacy systems, it seems easy to navigate and use.

We haven't reached that stage yet, but so far, the response time has been good. The real test will be when everything is fully implemented.

I have experience with SAP HANA and SAP 355, and both are excellent. However, the choice depends on the scope of work, financial considerations, and resource availability. Odoo turned out to be the most economical and user-friendly option for us, especially considering the challenges in finding SAP resources in Pakistan.

The ease of implementation is quite good. Currently, I would rate it around seven to eight.We have completed a stage of the implementation process, and currently, we are working on meeting all the T.V. requirements. As for integrations, we are actively involved in two tasks. First, we are importing five years' worth of data into Odoo using their well-structured templates and CSV file capabilities. Second, we are integrating with Primera, and so far, the testing has been successful, and everything seems to be working well.

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.

I would keep my rating at eight. The deployment has been smooth, with minimal changes required. However, I may have a more comprehensive assessment after Monday when the Odoo team is scheduled to explain various aspects, considering the numerous modules we have installed.

I use Odoo for one of my clients based in Tunisia. I choose Odoo for my client since it is easier than SIP, in my opinion.

Odoo is used for managing businesses, like purchasing or making a product, and for other related activities.

Of the modules offered by Odoo and many of them are free, while some need to be paid for use. It is interesting to me that Odoo offers free modules, especially more than SIP.

I use Odoo on my mobile, along with its API model. Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients. I need to build other apps using other technologies. I use Flutter for Android and iOS, but I still use Odoo for its API model. Odoo needs to improve its mobile application.

I have been using Odoo for two years. I am using Odoo Version 13. I am a user of the solution.

Until now, Odoo has been stable, but I did face trouble when I tried to upgrade to Odoo Version 14. The trouble I faced during the upgrading phase may be because of a wrong step in Odoo's setup phase. I think it's very difficult for me now to update the version of Odoo.

Almost 50 people in my company use Odoo.

My clients have contacted Odoo's technical support.

The solution is deployed on my server.

Odoo's setup phase is easy.

Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it. We use Odoo's community version, which is stable and runs well. We don't use Odoo's pro version.

I recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

Odoo's stability is sometimes good, and sometimes it is not good. At times Odoo is down when bombarded with many requests, but it is a good product when considering the fact that it is a free-source solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

As an end user of Odoo, I can efficiently complete tasks and requests, such as managing inventory, submitting leave requests, and searching for information.

The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature. The feature allows for quick and seamless sign-in and sign-out when departing from the workplace within a specific area. This is the smoothest use of Odoo and its best advantage.

The cost of the solution can be improved.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The solution is very stable. I give the stability a ten out of ten.

We simply send a request ticket to Odoo on behalf of the person who is having an issue with their device. 

We pay for a three-year license. The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

We have 500 people using the solution.

I recommend the solution to others.

I use Odoo in my company since it is easy to use and learn. Our company's employees have no complaints about the product since they received training to use it. In general, it is not a complicated software to use. Though the product was an ERP solution earlier, it is now useful as an ERP and CRM tool.

The software cannot contribute to decision-making, and it becomes an area where Odoo can invest in improvements, considering areas like AI and ML, where there are shortcomings.

There are areas in the solution that require improvement. My company moved to Odoo to use it as our main cloud application and system software. It is easy to use and easy to reach out to the configuration system. The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.

I have been using Odoo for four to five years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven to eight out of ten.

It is a scalable solution.

About 15 employees in my company use the solution.

Though there are plans to increase the use of the solution in our company, I need feedback on the product from my company and the country in which I operate, because of which I am plainly using the software at the current stage.

Though there is technical support from Odoo, I need to ask our company's account manager to grant me access to contact Odoo's support team.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution can be deployed in three months maximum.

The installation part of the solution was managed in our company with the help of a consultant.

There is a need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. It is not an expensive solution, especially in my country.

Odoo can be useful for small websites carrying out campaigns involving ten to fifty or a maximum of a hundred people. It is a solid platform, but you should move to another solution in case the number of users crosses the limit of a hundred.

It can cover sites in terms of sales processes, projects, and the point of sale. The product also helps users manage the areas of inventory and purchase. The tool provides a proper vision for a small company.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

I am a consultant providing Odoo for my clients. I help my clients automate workflows. They have workloads that are hard-coded, so we need to go beyond the limitations and start connecting all those through APIs with an automation engine.

Odoo is a cost-effective tool for performing core ERP functions, such as inventory management. It's also good for manufacturing use cases. 

Odoo's automation and workflow design tools could be better. It has some limitations compared to other ERP solutions like SAP. You should have the option to design workflows in order using BPM diagrams and tools that make it more versatile in terms of adapting to any workflow through low code.

I have implemented Odoo for my clients for the last four years. 

I rate Odoo eight out of 10 for stability.

I rate Odoo eight out of 10 for scalability.

I rate Odoo support six out of 10. This is another area where Odoo can improve. They lack services. 

Neutral

Deploying Odoo is straightforward. You can deploy it on a private cloud or on-premises. 

Odoo is an affordable ERP solution for small and medium-sized businesses that can't afford more expensive commercial products. 

I rate Odoo eight out of 10. It's an excellent platform that offers a great balance of cost and benefit.  I recommend finding a reputable partner to implement Odoo. If you try to skimp on consultants, they may perform a faulty implementation that requires you to start from scratch. This happened with many of our clients before they came to us. It will end up costing you more in the end. 

I work in the legal industry and use Odoo to communicate between the legal, finance, and sales departments.

The most valuable features of Odoo are its customization and the fact that I can add modules whenever I want to the solution and the customization.

The solution's reporting could be improved.

I have been using Odoo for six years.

I rate Odoo a seven out of ten for stability.

I don't know if the solution can be scalable for bigger organizations, but it is scalable with regard to modules.

Odoo provides great technical support.

Positive

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

The solution's deployment involves installing the software, doing some environmental changes, and customizations, which may take weeks if we have to make a lot of changes.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Odoo's pricing a six out of ten.

Overall, I rate Odoo an eight out of ten.

The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization. Odoo is open software, and we are successfully running its payroll coding. Employees who join the firm can use Odoo for their end-of-service benefits and leave salary. I like Odoo's localization and integration. Whenever we test one module, it's already integrated with everything else. For example, if you are considering a purchase, Odoo also automatically reflects your procurement operations and sales.

Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify.

I rate Odoo a seven to eight out of ten for stability.

I rate Odoo a seven to eight out of ten for scalability. Odoo is used by big companies like Etisalat, which has around ten thousand to twenty thousand employees. Since Odoo is an online product, it is also used by many SMEs in the UAE.

We have already contacted Odoo's customer support, who gave all the replies immediately on a ticketing basis. If the issue is big, they will forward it to their backend team. We can contact their customer support through call, chat or email. So, I'm really satisfied with their customer support.

Odoo is built according to European standards, and they have open user localization.

Overall, I rate Odoo an eight and a half out of ten.
