Excellent ERP to manage your business operations
We used to use spreadsheets before switching to Odoo and the savings in time and effort, plus the accuracy of the information is the main value we receive. Particularly, the Recruitment module helps us to configure an Application Tracking System, and now, we have visibility over KPIs that before was not possible. The implementation of an extension of the CRM module allow us to customize easily the system to our needs too.
PROS
Odoo provides my company with all the modules needed to manage the business. It is easy to set up, intuitive and the modules are well integrated.
CONS
The Community edition provides a lot of built-in features, but since version 9, Odoo has been moving features from Community version to Enterprise, so I could see some of them, which I was using, unavailable in recent versions.
Reason for choosing Odoo
Because provides more modules. The availability in our market of Python developers to extend and customize the platform was another reason.
Reasons for switching to Odoo
Because managing business operations in spreadsheets it is extremely time-consuming. It requires a lot of coordination and is prone to errors.

Do Not Purchase Directly From Odoo
I wish it had worked. We struggeld with the software for 18 months - even reaching out to the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] via Twitter asking for help. Odoo does not care about the customer. If you work with a reseller, they are awesome. But we made the mistake of buying through Odoo, installing 3rd party apps and then having tons of programming issues that no one would help us with. Great software - horrible company.
PROS
The software is incredibly eligant. The way everything works together via API is astounding. I can't say enough about how flexible this software is.
CONS
Support. We made the mistake of purchasing through Odoo and not a reseller and everything was pretty much wrong from day 1. All help is predicated on you having no 3rd party apps. The problem is, you cannot run the software without 3rd party apps.
Reason for choosing Odoo
Compared to Netsuite, it was affordable and the rep assured us it would do all the things Netsuite would do.
Reasons for switching to Odoo
We outgrew Zoho.

"Odoo: the key to more efficient and profitable business management - my testimony".
With Odoo, I have been able to solve several important business problems for my company. Firstly, the platform has allowed me to centralise all my business operations in one place, eliminating the need to use several separate software and tools to manage different functions of my business. This has greatly improved the efficiency and productivity of my employees, allowing them to spend less time juggling different tools and more time focusing on their core tasks.In addition, Odoo's project management functionality allowed me to better track the progress of my projects, set clear deadlines and ensure that tasks were properly allocated to team members. This allowed for better collaboration between team members and more efficient management of resources. I was also able to track sales and purchases more efficiently, using Odoo's stock management and invoicing features.Finally, one of the main benefits I have realised from using Odoo is better visibility of my business as a whole. The real-time dashboards have allowed me to track progress in real time, monitor sales and expenses and analyse business performance. This has enabled me to make better and faster decisions based on accurate data rather than estimates or hunches. In short, Odoo has enabled me to manage my business operations more effectively, reduce costs and improve the profitability of my business.
PROS
What I liked most about Odoo was its ability to provide a complete solution for managing my business. With Odoo, I was able to consolidate all my business operations in one place, from sales and purchasing management to project and human resources management. I also liked the flexibility of the platform, which allowed me to customise processes and functionality to meet the specific needs of my business. Finally, I found Odoo to be very easy to use, even for users without extensive technical knowledge. The user-friendly interface and online tutorials allowed me to get started quickly and take full advantage of Odoo's features. All in all, I found the Odoo solution to be very effective in streamlining my business processes and improving the management of my company.
CONS
Although I really like the Odoo solution, there were a few things that I found problematic. Firstly, I found that some features were less intuitive than others, which meant I had to search longer than I would have liked to find solutions to my problems. Also, the initial installation process of Odoo can be a bit complicated, especially if you are not used to working with open-source software. Finally, I found that the online documentation and community forums were not always very clear, which sometimes made it difficult to find information on specific issues. However, on the whole, these problems were minor compared to the benefits I saw from using Odoo.
Reason for choosing Odoo
I chose Odoo for several key reasons. Firstly, I was attracted by the flexibility and customisation offered by the platform. Odoo is highly configurable and allows great flexibility in customising workflows and functionality to meet the specific needs of my business.In addition, I found Odoo's feature set to be more comprehensive than the alternative products I looked at. Odoo offers features such as project management, human resources management, stock management, invoicing management and many more. This comprehensive range of functionality has allowed me to centralise all of my company's business operations in one place, which has greatly improved the efficiency and productivity of my business.Finally, I have been impressed by Odoo's active community and its commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. The community provides strong technical support and regularly offers updates and improvements to the platform to meet changing business needs.All in all, I chose Odoo for its flexibility, its full range of features and its commitment to continuous innovation.

An Odoo Defender Review
beside all the pros and cons. Odoo is just awesome, the overall experience i had with Odoo during the last 9 years is very positive.
PROS
The most interesting and brilliant thing about Odoo, is its framework and how easy we can develop using it. Also some apps are just easy to learn and well documented.
CONS
- Luck of technical and functional documentations ( functional is getting better faster than technical ). - Luck of automated migrations tools ( a pain for customers too ). - Odoo still doing big changes to its core apps, which makes all our modules obsolete very quickly. - Partnership model is very hard to keep the same label (eg. silver or gold) after a year or so, if you can't get more users.
Reason for choosing Odoo
It was at that time (9years ago) for two major reasons: - Great framework and Great ready to use modules. - Great community. - Open Source ( Also we loved the move to the new licences )

Odoo: A Flexible, Scalable Business Management Platform
I appreciate the software's modularity and adaptability, which permit me to tailor the platform to my organization's specific requirements. I have access to a comprehensive set of tools for managing various aspects of our business operations thanks to the software's numerous modules and features.Although the user interface and technical complexity of some of the modules have presented some challenges, I have found that the available resources, such as documentation and support, have been helpful in overcoming these obstacles. Additionally, I value the global user and developer community's ongoing contributions to software enhancement.Overall, I believe that Odoo is a powerful and scalable software platform that can assist businesses of all sizes and industries in better managing their operations.
PROS
There are a number of things about Odoo that I like as an employee who uses it. First and foremost, I appreciate that it is an open-source platform, making it extremely customizable and flexible. Because of this, I am able to customize the software to meet the particular requirements of my organization and to modify it as our requirements change over time.I also like the software's modular design, which lets me choose and use only the modules that are relevant to my job and duties. Because of this, the software is easier to use and more streamlined, and I don't have to deal with too many features and functions.Additionally, I like that Odoo offers both cloud and on-premise deployment options, allowing me to select the method of deployment that best suits the requirements and preferences of my organization.Overall, I believe that Odoo is a highly adaptable and scalable software platform that can assist businesses of all sizes and sectors in better managing their operations.
CONS
As an employee who uses Odoo, I believe that a few things could be improved. Something that I like least about the product is that the UI can be to some degree confusing and overpowering at times, especially for new clients who are curious about the product. Although the software's modular design is generally advantageous, it can make it challenging to navigate the various modules and features, which can be frustrating.Another problem I've encountered is that configuring and using some of the software's modules might necessitate more technical knowledge. Even though there are resources to help users with implementation and support, it can still be hard to use all of the features if you don't know a lot about the technology behind them.I have found that the expense of a portion of the undertaking releases can be a bit high, especially for little and moderate sized organizations with restricted financial plans. Even though the community edition is free, it might not have all the features and functions that some businesses need, making it hard to justify the enterprise edition's price.
