Has supported lead and deal tracking for small businesses but lacks deeper customization options
The pipeline management has helped to streamline the sales processes in that I can develop the business pattern where we can send automated emails and automated calls at different stages. For example, when a lead enters a system, we can automatically generate welcome emails. Once any modification in the lead is done, such as when it's qualified, we can send them qualified emails or acknowledgment emails based on the business pipeline. This user-friendly interface has helped my customers adapt quicker to Bigin by Zoho CRM as, after customization or completion of the project, I will make a Loom video to train the clients through the sessions, and through the Loom videos and SOPs, they can adapt easily to Bigin by Zoho CRM. They can also adapt to all the applications.

Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency
Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 18, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."
"I would rate the price as a one out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Odoo is straightforward in terms of costs. You pay the vendor for both the software and implementation. We selected one of the twelve certified vendors for implementation in our local area, opting for the vendor named Four Zero Five."
"They offer three packages – free, standard, and custom."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"Currently, we pay around 5000-6,000 USD per month, though I am not sure. We have to pay additionally for maintenance and support."
