Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We like how the solution is integrated."
"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 is a scalable solution...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It allows us to organize and improve portfolio management."
"It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution."
"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."
"Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times."
"Odoo is a cost-effective tool for performing core ERP functions, such as inventory management. It's also good for manufacturing use cases."
"The most significant elements of this solution are the ability to create a virtual product, a service product, and delivery."
"It has been quite stable so far."
"Its integration is most valuable."
"The features are very useful for finance."
"Overall the solution is very good in the industry."
"Everyone who uses SAP ERP has benefited from the functionality."
"The solution is very stable."

"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."
"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."
"The solution lacks local API support. Also, it lacks some database integration platforms. In short, it lacks an API integration platform."
"Odoo has room for improvement in industry-specific features."
"Currently, the regional office is in Dubai, and I believe it would be beneficial to establish a regional office in Pakistan to enhance support and accessibility for users in our country."
"The authorization management needs to be improved."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features."
"Technical support is an area that is in need of improvement."
"The flexibility in using the software could improve. I am from a product background and I've been testing a lot of applications, for example, Informatics. The UI, features, and cloud version could improve."
"One thing that is lacking in ERP is a good user interface. It is currently very clumsy and complex. Another thing is that reporting capability of SAP ERP is customizable, but it is not very good. Its development time is also very high if you require specialized technical services. If you want to do any changes to the report or develop a new report, you need people with specialized skills. Business processes are very straightforward and standardized as per the industry standards. However, the way it works is a bit complex, and you need to know a lot of things. There are different things that can be complex for a general user. A lot of information is being provided in ERP. A general user doesn't require all this information, and it creates a lot of confusion. Its learning curve is very high."
"Its user interface should be improved."
"More integrations and built-in integrations with other environments and products are needed."
"The only feature that is not available in our current version is web access."
"The system is over-customized."
"We will not make any major changes, and we are not expecting any enhancements or new features from SAP because they already have a new solution. No development is happening on SAP ERP because SAP has come up with a new version called SAP S/4HANA, which is memory-based technology. We are planning to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA, but we don't know when it will happen. We are in the preparation phase."
