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

"Odoo is a cost-effective tool for performing core ERP functions, such as inventory management. It's also good for manufacturing use cases."
"It is scalable, and because it is on cloud, we can have as many users as we want."
"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."
"It allows us to organize and improve portfolio management."
"The versatility of Odoo is one of its most valuable features for business productivity. It offers modules for purchase, inventory, manufacturing, sales, help desk, timesheets, point of sale, email marketing, and more, which can greatly benefit businesses."
"I like the helpdesk module, and I like the simplicity of integration among their modules. All the modules are very well integrated, and you can move among the modules in an easy way."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the integration it provides and the many modules available."
"Odoo is flexible and serves us quite well. Its interface has improved."
"My advice to others is this is a good solution for importing or exporting any graphics."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"The performance and stability are fine."
"Saying that, it has a small server footprint and is easy to set up."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"Odoo can invest in improvements, considering areas like AI and ML, where there are shortcomings."
"The authorization management needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo's technical support."
"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."
"Odoo’s asset management, supply chain, and advanced manufacturing should be improved."
"The solution should improve its performance."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"Putting so many things into SugarCRM became a much-hated task, mainly because of the horrible UI."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"At the moment, there is a complicated flow in regards to the user's permissions and what they can see."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"The UX was such that it limited the use of it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"The solution's licensing costs are low compared to its competitors."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."
"Currently, we pay around 5000-6,000 USD per month, though I am not sure. We have to pay additionally for maintenance and support."
"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."
"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."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
