Pros
"It is a scalable solution...The product's initial setup phase was easy.""It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution.""We like how the solution is integrated.""We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features.""It is a comprehensive tool containing a lot of applications integrated together by nature. It is easy to use and has a nice interface that is easy to learn and teach your employees.""The product is stable...The product is scalable.""The solution is easy to use.""The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization."

"It's a very stable tool, very powerful.""It is a scalable solution.""The product offers very good management. It has a great ability to assign tickets based on content.""One of the most valuable features is the ease of use. If you take the standalone product, it is so easy to use, but if you want a tailor-made Zendesk Guide, you can't do it yourself. However, you can use a template that already exists—they have a lot, and they're very cheap, around 300-400 euros—and use it on all your brands. It's a very easy product to use.""The feature to move over my customer experience team tickets for different specialists is very valuable for my team.""The stability has been very good.""Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly.""What is cool about Zendesk Guide is how it works together with others Zendesk products. Especially with support and with the analytics. Put those together for a small or medium-sized company and it's a really powerful tool."

Cons
"The price of the solution could be reduced to improve the overall offering.""The authorization management needs to be improved.""The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface.""Odoo could improve its newsletters and social media campaign features, which currently feel a bit weak.""There are features that cannot be opened in the community edition and from a user perspective.""The reporting and the interface could definitely be better.""They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features.""There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities."

More Odoo Cons →

"The support team is time-consuming, and they don't find the answer to our problem.""There is always a network issue with Zendesk. But we don’t know whether it is managed. The network issue is that when I call, it does not let us.""Zendesk Guide could be improved by allowing us to put our assets in one location. What happens now for each article, for example, is we have to upload the images for that article to that location, so the image reuse is still not something that they have perfected. If they could allow us to update all the images in one location, and then pull the image from there, it would be easier when working on Multibrand projects. There are no Multibrand updates available—we have to update each brand manually. For my company, I have come up with an API tool which allows me to push the content to multiple brands together, but if you don't have something like that, you have to manually do it.""The price of the solution should be reduced.""The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook.""If I write an article, and I have a team of 30 people, and they all have a Zendesk account, when I write an article, I send them an email. "Hey guys, I just wrote this article. It's one of the most popular topics this month on which we are not covered. Please check it and make sure that you include it in your resolutions". The issue is, once I send it to those 30 people, and they open it, the next morning, that article is the most popular article.""One of the drawbacks of Zendesk is that it doesn't provide a secure way for us to send data. So, we usually use a secure SharePoint folder link. We put that in the Zendesk ticket so that the requester has a secure way of getting to their data.""The data you get when logged in to Zendesk Support differs from the data you get when you programmatically query Zendesk Support through its API because of a sync time delay."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is very affordable for any type of business. And this is one of the main advantages of Odoo. Small businesses can subscribe and this is a very good feature."
  • "The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
  • "Its pricing is well-received in Latin America. They sell by the user. In October 2022, they changed the way they sell Odoo. They commercialized Odoo. They now sell by the user. The cost of a user is $13.5 five per month for Latin America, which is lower than other ERPs."
  • "The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."
  • "Currently, we pay around 5000-6,000 USD per month, though I am not sure. We have to pay additionally for maintenance and support."
  • "Odoo is cheap compared to competitors."
  • "Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one means high price, and ten means low price, I rate Odoo's pricing a five or six out of ten."
  • More Odoo Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We pay for the solution on a yearly basis and my understanding is that the cost is about $30,000. That's the cost for 24 to 25 agents."
  • "The price is very competitive."
  • "Zendesk's licensing is not cheap. For Enterprise, we are paying $200 per agent. It's a per-month cost, so it's pretty steep. There are some services you need to pay extra for. For example, with Zendesk Guide, we had to buy the most expensive offering in order to get Multibrand and everything. We also had to pay a lot of money for themes."
  • "There are different plans that are offered. We are using the entry-level plan. The overall price of the solution should be reduced. The price is too high."
  • "You have to pay extra for better support. So it's not only the license that you pay for, but you have to pay extra for the support as well."
