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.

Senior Manager / IT Planning & Architecture Services at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Easily customizable, automation enhances the marketing campaigns but support is the main hiccup for us
It has been effective in managing customer relationships. It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory. And there are centralized reports for the CEO and the general managers. We work with automation for these marketing and email campaigns. It sends out emails to prospective customers related to sales offers automatically. And it copies the sales team so that they can follow up. They are tracking the sales leads. So, the automation within SugarCRM enhances the marketing campaigns. For now, my work is done because I am the IT strategy and planning manager. I just try to deliver the solution according to the requirements of the business. From my side, it's implemented already, the requirement related to the sales funnel. But if they have any other requirement from the business side, they will submit it to me, and then I will look for a suitable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution."
"It is a scalable solution...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Odoo is flexible and serves us quite well. Its interface has improved."
"Odoo is highly scalable."
"What I appreciate most about this solution is its ease of customization compared to other products. Odoo is straightforward and simpler to customize. Additionally, it offers stability by decentralizing the entire ERP with multiple products, making management and support more efficient. Moreover, the availability of talent in India is a key advantage, as the salaries for Odoo professionals are relatively lower than SAP or Oracle ERP professionals. This makes it easier for us to find suitable talent for projects seamlessly."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
"Odoo's setup phase is easy."
"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."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"Available source code, good documentation, training programs, and a relatively active community, provide the hallmarks for a successful open source effort."
"This solution's stability is very good, it runs almost without effort, and we don't have any support issues with it."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"The performance and stability are fine."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"Good, basic out-of-the-box solution, however, in my estimation not a long term play as the design flow and user interface make it a true chore to enter data."
"Affordable and commercial open source solution is good for organizations with budget constraints."
 

Cons

"Odoo could be better integrated with our warehouse management system."
"Odoo can invest in improvements, considering areas like AI and ML, where there are shortcomings."
"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
"There are features that cannot be opened in the community edition and from a user perspective."
"Odoo could improve its newsletters and social media campaign features, which currently feel a bit weak."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."
"Odoo has room for improvement in industry-specific features."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"At the moment, there is a complicated flow in regards to the user's permissions and what they can see."
"The UX was such that it limited the use of it."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"Putting so many things into SugarCRM became a much-hated task, mainly because of the horrible UI."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"Functionality and features are well suited for small business companies only."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Currently, we pay around 5000-6,000 USD per month, though I am not sure. We have to pay additionally for maintenance and support."
"I would rate the price as a one out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"Odoo is cheap compared to competitors."
"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."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. It is not an expensive solution, especially in my country."
"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."
"Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
