Good payroll localization and effective customer support
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization."
  • "Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization. Odoo is open software, and we are successfully running its payroll coding. Employees who join the firm can use Odoo for their end-of-service benefits and leave salary. I like Odoo's localization and integration. Whenever we test one module, it's already integrated with everything else. For example, if you are considering a purchase, Odoo also automatically reflects your procurement operations and sales.

What needs improvement?

Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Odoo a seven to eight out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Odoo a seven to eight out of ten for scalability. Odoo is used by big companies like Etisalat, which has around ten thousand to twenty thousand employees. Since Odoo is an online product, it is also used by many SMEs in the UAE.

How are customer service and support?

We have already contacted Odoo's customer support, who gave all the replies immediately on a ticketing basis. If the issue is big, they will forward it to their backend team. We can contact their customer support through call, chat or email. So, I'm really satisfied with their customer support.

What other advice do I have?

Odoo is built according to European standards, and they have open user localization.

Overall, I rate Odoo an eight and a half out of ten.

It's a stable, user-friendly solution for managing our customers' appliances
Pros and Cons
  • "Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use."
  • "Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics."

What is our primary use case?

We use Odoo's CRM module to manage all our customers' appliances and the business that we are working on. Previously, we used the HR module. Only the 12 members of the sales team use Odoo.

What is most valuable?

Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use. 

What needs improvement?

Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Odoo for about two or three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Odoo is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I believe Odoo is scalable. We don't use all of the modules.

How are customer service and support?

I rate Odoo support seven out of 10. We didn't have local support in the beginning, but I saw an ad recently seeking partners here in Argentina, so maybe they have local support now. We don't need tech support often, but I believe their support is based in Finland, so the response time is delayed because of the time difference. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Odoo is easy. Though I didn't do it, my team told me that it was straightforward. It requires two IT people to maintain. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Odoo seven out of 10. Compared to Salesforce, it's maybe a four or five, but it's okay for our purposes. If you plan to implement Odoo, you should take the time to learn the features. For example, we needed more time to set up the reporting module.

What about the implementation team?

We did the deployment of the solution with one engineer that was in-house. Additionally, we used a technical person to assist us with the process.

An easy to use solution for small companies, but it cannot be scaled easily for large companies
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use."

What is our primary use case?

We deploy it for CRM projects. We use it for some project management and share purchasing. 

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to use. 

What needs improvement?

Odoo cannot be scaled beyond the scope. If you want to go deeply, you have to be confident enough to do some development on it, and it will take much more time to deliver the project. 

The authorization management needs to be improved. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about 10 years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability as an eight out of ten.

It's scalable within the scope of the solution. There are about 40 users of this solution in my organization. 

How was the initial setup?

It took between one to three months to deploy the solution. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We use it as a community solution, and develop the rest on our side. 

What other advice do I have?

I recommend Odoo for small or medium companies. I rate it as an eight out of ten for small or medium companies, but I would drop it to a four or five for big companies.

A low-cost open-source solution that has been beneficial in registering our business contacts
Pros and Cons
  • "It allows us to organize and improve portfolio management."
  • "The user interface is not the best."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for this solution is registering business contacts.

What is most valuable?

It allows us to organize and improve portfolio management. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. We currently have eight users active with this solution in my organization, and we increase the usage of this solution depending on business needs.

How are customer service and support?

Odoo has two versions, an enterprise solution and an open-source solution. Now we use the community version, which is open source, and they have technical support. But for the enterprise version, they provide only technical support.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am unsure of the exact licensing cost, but we use the open-source version.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution eight out of ten. The solution is good, but the user interface is not the best. Nevertheless, I recommend this solution because it's low-cost and open-source. It costs less than Microsoft Dynamics, CH, Oracle, and others so I can recommend it. In addition, it's very robust, and many companies and enterprises use it.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Bitrix24 before we switched to Odoo. We switched because it wasn't user-friendly.

I rate this product an eight out of ten.

What is most valuable?

What needs improvement?

The human resources portion could be improved. They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features. This will enhance or add more users.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I can say that is very stable. Based on with interface, it is very stable and I did not suffer any complexity or irritability with the servers. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable if you have a large number of employees, you can add more battery power to the procedure servers to make sure that the power in the servers will be sufficient, and the customers can use it and work on the system. It is really scalable and it can be scaled to any level of complexity of any number of users.

How are customer service and support?

It is very simple. You go to the website, go to the support page, type in your question and you get an answer in a few hours, which is very good. And the follow-up of the support is very good because if you use that, the problem is solved from the first occurrence until it is solved.

How was the initial setup?

It is straightforward and easy to deploy by anyone.

What about the implementation team?

I can do it by myself in-house, and it is very easy to be deployed by anyone.

What was our ROI?

If it is very affordable, with the latest version, and the number of features and information provided, this will have a very high ROI for any organization.
