A great ERP for medium and even small businesses
If one has experience in the ERP market, big brands like Microsoft require a lot of money over other platforms like Odoo. We can implement an on-premise model for some enterprise customers because it gives privacy and security. For other customers, we provide the cloud version. Currently, we recommend customers implement the ERP platform on the cloud environment because of the flexibility and scaling. I recommend that customers invest in a solution with the possibility of scaling in the future while providing many functions and features out of the box. In many ERPs we provide, although we would recommend ELMA as a default option for medium and even enterprise customers, they need bigger brands. ELMA 365 should be the second or third option for customers right now. I rate ELMA 365 a ten out of ten.

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 19, 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

"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
"Odoo is widespread in a lot of different industries, and the most powerful feature of Odoo in the manufacturing industry is the forecast."
"Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization."
"It is scalable, and because it is on cloud, we can have as many users as we want."
"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."
"Odoo's setup phase is easy."
"We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"Customers want improved productivity."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better."
"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."
"The customization and technical support are not great and could be improved."
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features."
"Odoo could improve its newsletters and social media campaign features, which currently feel a bit weak."
"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."
"The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"Currently, we pay around 5000-6,000 USD per month, though I am not sure. We have to pay additionally for maintenance and support."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one means high price, and ten means low price, I rate Odoo's pricing a five or six out of ten."
"It is very affordable for any type of business. And this is one of the main advantages of Odoo. Small businesses can subscribe and this is a very good feature."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"I would rate the price as a one out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"The solution's licensing costs are low compared to its competitors."
