Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a stable platform.""Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times.""Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use.""It is a scalable solution...The product's initial setup phase was easy.""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 advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months.""Odoo is widespread in a lot of different industries, and the most powerful feature of Odoo in the manufacturing industry is the forecast.""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."

The product is very robust and comprehensive.""Responsive, comprehensive and optimized solution.""We're able to get all our processes flowing together. We're able to make all of our business processes talk to each other.""The initial setup is not complex; it's more at a medium level.

Cons
"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.""Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics.""The solution should improve its performance.""The solution's reporting could be improved.""Odoo has room for improvement in industry-specific features.""There are features that cannot be opened in the community edition and from a user perspective.""There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities.""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."

More Odoo Cons →

"The solution could be more user-friendly for regular users and developers.""There should be an easier way to migrate customers from all versions to SAP S/4HANA.""This product would be improved by adding more reports.""The integration could be made a little simpler in terms of design and implementation.""An area for improvement would be integration with different kinds of legacies. In the next release, I would like the product to be prepared for blockchain technology and the best way to communicate with social networking.""The common issues being raised right now by the end users are mostly related to the usability.""This is a costly solution.""The two things that need to be improved are price and customization."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by SAP S4HANA users.

    A Mechanical Engineer at a construction company says, “It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool. The most valuable feature is that the reporting is fast. We can see the results from that in that our commissions come in fast. That is the main advantage.”

    Another reviewer, a SAP Technology Manager at a financial services firm, mentions, "It is more or less a very, very smooth and seamless product. Day by day they are increasing their technology features and they are keen to resolve the issues. India has a complex business scenario and SAP is thinking about that and resolving the issues day by day. In terms of the features I have found most valuable, I don't think that there is any lack or any gap process-wise. SAP is a very good tool."

    A Project and Service delivery Manager at a tech services company comments, "One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering."

    A Senior Architect at a construction company states, “The POD applications are very useful to us. There are a few POD apps which we are using for different business scenarios. They are quite interesting.” He also adds, “The initial setup is pretty straightforward. The documentation is very good. The solution can scale well. The solution is stable.”
