Featured Reviews

ThomasPetrou - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at Mazi4u
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.
Willem Lambrechts - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Director at Drebbel
Offers the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting
We do a lot of analytics and reporting ourselves. We don't necessarily use all the features that Pipedrive provides, but it's very helpful at least. It has streamlined our deal-closing process. We use it for everything. When we create a lead, we put it into Pipedrive. That lead can be converted into an opportunity, which we manage through our whole pipeline. This includes having all data related to the opportunity in one place. Once the deal is closed, we use Pipedrive to follow up on the invoices until they are paid. We also manage sales commissions and payments to our salespeople through Pipedrive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Odoo is open source, so we can develop it and adjust it to our requirements. It's easy to work with."
"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."
"It is a comprehensive tool containing a lot of applications integrated together by nature. It is easy to use and has a nice interface that is easy to learn and teach your employees."
"Odoo is flexible and serves us quite well. Its interface has improved."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."
"The most beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
"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."
"Pipedrive's most valuable features are that you can keep the whole information that's related to managing your sales process and you can customize it easily. The person that we have who is customizing Pipedrive is very junior in means of software development or process development. He can easily use it, anyone can use the solution. It has a very easy user interface to customize your processes and apply them to the Pipedrive process."
"The biggest and the best feature is the view that you get when you log in, where you have a board like Kanban with columns that help you move deals along the process and really keep track of where you are."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
"Our primary use case for this solution ranges from using it for daily activities in sales to forecasting and KPIs and following up on every deal we are working on and every lease we are opening."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Pipedrive offers a lot of value for the money because it includes e-signature, document generation, CRM, and workflow automation in one not-expensive solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most useful stuff for me is that it's very flexible with all the data structures...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
"There is a lack of resources for specialized Odoo professionals."
"The human resources portion could be improved."
"Odoo can invest in improvements, considering areas like AI and ML, where there are shortcomings."
"The solution is good, but the user interface is not the best."
"The tool needs to improve its scalability."
"The user interface is not the best."
"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better."
"Reporting capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"The automation process is challenging."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce. The documentation of Pipedrive could improve. They need more qualified documentation because I had to fix my colleague's work to correct the reports because they did not find how they can do it, or develop reports. There are some misunderstandings about how to do reporting."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"The tool's APIs are challenging. It should also be compliant with HIPAA, FINRA and GLBA. The data centers should be within US so that they are compliant with regulations."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"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."
"They offer three packages – free, standard, and custom."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"Pipedrive is the most cost-effective in terms of the balance between cost and features. I would take Pipedrive over HubSpot or Zoho CRM. It's well-positioned on the market."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, two or three. For us, everything is expensive because this is a startup, but for a normal company, it should be peanuts."
