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.

Senior Manager / IT Planning & Architecture Services at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Easily customizable, automation enhances the marketing campaigns but support is the main hiccup for us
It has been effective in managing customer relationships. It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory. And there are centralized reports for the CEO and the general managers. We work with automation for these marketing and email campaigns. It sends out emails to prospective customers related to sales offers automatically. And it copies the sales team so that they can follow up. They are tracking the sales leads. So, the automation within SugarCRM enhances the marketing campaigns. For now, my work is done because I am the IT strategy and planning manager. I just try to deliver the solution according to the requirements of the business. From my side, it's implemented already, the requirement related to the sales funnel. But if they have any other requirement from the business side, they will submit it to me, and then I will look for a suitable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Odoo is a cloud-based SaaS system, which is better than having the program on the desktop."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization."
"The most beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
"It is a comprehensive tool containing a lot of applications integrated together by nature. It is easy to use and has a nice interface that is easy to learn and teach your employees."
"Odoo is highly scalable."
"Odoo's setup phase is easy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
"By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team."
"Available source code, good documentation, training programs, and a relatively active community, provide the hallmarks for a successful open source effort."
"My advice to others is this is a good solution for importing or exporting any graphics."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"Good, basic out-of-the-box solution, however, in my estimation not a long term play as the design flow and user interface make it a true chore to enter data."
 

Cons

"Odoo’s asset management, supply chain, and advanced manufacturing should be improved."
"The human resources portion could be improved."
"The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface."
"The sales model is not the best, and it lacks certain features."
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features."
"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo's technical support."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"The UX was such that it limited the use of it."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"At the moment, there is a complicated flow in regards to the user's permissions and what they can see."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
"Pipelines, forecasts, and reporting in general, are not that good in the free version."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"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."
"They offer three packages – free, standard, and custom."
"Odoo is cheap compared to competitors."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
