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.

Quick implementation brings comprehensive workflow management and efficient regulation handling

One of the major advantages of QAD Cloud ERP is related to the easy and quick implementation that I have found the most valuable. The entire application of QAD Cloud ERP itself is very valuable for my customers. My impression of the advanced supply chain management feature in QAD Cloud ERP is that it's a very comfortable tool and, if rightly configured, it really helps the business to have clear visibility of the entire supply chain. My impression of the compliance management in QAD Cloud ERP is that it has reduced many overheads of doing manual compliance, and it is quite easily manageable; it is connected with the regulatory authorities, making it a fantastic tool. The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is stable...The product is scalable."

"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."

"Odoo is widespread in a lot of different industries, and the most powerful feature of Odoo in the manufacturing industry is the forecast."

"It is a scalable solution...The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"It allows us to organize and improve portfolio management."

"Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times."

"What I appreciate most about this solution is its ease of customization compared to other products. Odoo is straightforward and simpler to customize. Additionally, it offers stability by decentralizing the entire ERP with multiple products, making management and support more efficient. Moreover, the availability of talent in India is a key advantage, as the salaries for Odoo professionals are relatively lower than SAP or Oracle ERP professionals. This makes it easier for us to find suitable talent for projects seamlessly."

"Odoo is highly scalable."

More Odoo pros

"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."

"The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide."

"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."

Cons

"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature."

"The price of the solution could be reduced to improve the overall offering."

"Odoo's automation and workflow design tools could be better. It has some limitations compared to other ERP solutions like SAP. You should have the option to design workflows in order using BPM diagrams and tools that make it more versatile in terms of adapting to any workflow through low code."

"The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface."

"The customization and technical support are not great."

"Odoo’s asset management, supply chain, and advanced manufacturing should be improved."

"The solution lacks local API support. Also, it lacks some database integration platforms. In short, it lacks an API integration platform."

"The solution's reporting could be improved."

More Odoo cons

"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."

"They could improve by moving away from the architecture of Progress 4GL as currently they are undergoing a very drastic change by redoing the entire application with Java and web-based technologies, projected to be released by 2026 with the incorporation of analytics, process intelligence, and AI to help business users."

"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."

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."

"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 an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."

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

"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."

"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."

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

"I would rate the price as a one out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
