Featured Reviews

Cristina Neri - PeerSpot reviewer
Cheaply-priced and does not require much customizations
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. At the moment, the tool functions quite well for our needs. Around five people use the tool. In the future, my company might plan to increase the use of the solution. Currently, all the sales people in our company use the product.
ThomasPetrou - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap."
"The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives."
"Freshsales is user-friendly, scalable and stable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its well-organized sales cycle, which is important to us."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."
"Email integration is easy."
"I like Freshsales because it's integrated with Shopify which we use to host our website."
"The most beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
"It allows us to organize and improve portfolio management."
"It is a stable platform."
"What I find the most valuable about Odoo is its simplicity."
"Odoo is a cost-effective tool for performing core ERP functions, such as inventory management. It's also good for manufacturing use cases."
"We like how the solution is integrated."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports."
"We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"It's too early to make a definitive statement about Odoo as we are currently in the implementation stages. Once the implementation is complete and the system is up and running, we'll be able to provide feedback on its effectiveness and suitability for our needs. The implementation is very straightforward, and the system is easy to operate, similar to working with a spreadsheet. If there's one thing that could significantly enhance the system, it would be incorporating more AI capabilities."
"The solution's reporting could be improved."
"The sales model is not the best, and it lacks certain features."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"The authorization management needs to be improved."
"Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics."
"Odoo could improve its newsletters and social media campaign features, which currently feel a bit weak."
"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. It is not an expensive solution, especially in my country."
