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:

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

More Odoo pros

"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."

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

Cons

"They could thoroughly study the market dynamics of different regions and connecting areas."

"The range of choices and functionalities has space for enhancement."

"It has been difficult to adapt to continuous changes, you have to understand what is new and what is changing in less than twelve months. You can take advantage of the new features, but you have to research them to be able to implement them."

"Odoo could be better integrated with our warehouse management system."

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

"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."

"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 does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."

More Odoo cons

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Odoo's pricing a six out of ten."

"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."

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

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

"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one means high price, and ten means low price, I rate Odoo's pricing a five or six out of ten."

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

"The solution's licensing costs are low compared to its competitors."
