"It is a scalable solution...The product's initial setup phase was easy.""Odoo is highly scalable.""Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use.""Odoo's setup phase is easy.""The product is stable...The product is scalable.""It is a stable platform.""It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution.""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."

Cons
"I would like to see a better reporting tool.""There are some glitches in Epicor ERP.""There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving.""A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10.""The tool should provide a better user interface.""Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story.""In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing.""Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."

"The authorization management needs to be improved.""Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics.""It has been difficult to adapt to continuous changes, you have to understand what is new and what is changing in less than twelve months. You can take advantage of the new features, but you have to research them to be able to implement them.""They could thoroughly study the market dynamics of different regions and connecting areas.""The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature.""The range of choices and functionalities has space for enhancement.""Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify.""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."
