Cons
"The solution should improve its performance.""Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify.""The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature.""Odoo’s asset management, supply chain, and advanced manufacturing should be improved.""Odoo can invest in improvements, considering areas like AI and ML, where there are shortcomings.""Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics.""They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features.""Odoo's automation and workflow design tools could be better. It has some limitations compared to other ERP solutions like SAP.

More Odoo Cons →

"Improvements to the UI. The UI is pretty old, but this will change with the upcoming release of S.4.​""It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities.""Poor ergonomics.""There will always be something within our business that it won't fit.""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.""The system is over-customized.""The product can be a little slow when dealing with thousands of employee data.""The warehouse management could be better."
