Featured Reviews

Carlos  Cardona - PeerSpot reviewer
Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.
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

"The most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
"We like how the solution is integrated."
"It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution."
"It is a stable platform."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the integration it provides and the many modules available."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
"All modules in Odoo are integrated together, providing seamless transitions across various functionalities."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
"The authorization management needs to be improved."
"There is a lack of resources for specialized Odoo professionals."
"I'm uncertain because each year they release a new version with improvements. However, one area that needs significant enhancement is the website, particularly the modern core website. While there's an approach similar to WordPress, it is quite basic at the moment. Besides that, particularly with the POS solutions, we identified potential security issues. This is due to the storage of information on cookies or similar sessions. In cases of Internet-related issues, there's a vulnerability where data might be compromised. The system uses temporary storage until the internet connection is restored, and then it pushes the data to the server or database. This poses a risk, especially in point-of-sale systems, where there could be vulnerabilities for data modification or alteration by unauthorized individuals."
"Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics."
"The price of the solution could be reduced to improve the overall offering."
"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 provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."

"The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."
"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."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. It is not an expensive solution, especially in my country."
