Good manufacturing features and CRM
Pros and Cons
- "We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features."
- "The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface."
What is our primary use case?
We are using it for stock, manufacturing, sales, and CRM.
What is most valuable?
We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features.
What needs improvement?
So some of the things we are struggling with are privacy and dividing rules, data access between people, the hierarchy of people, and things like that.
Moreover, the performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface.
For how long have I used the solution?
We just migrated one year back. We started using it in the last six months. Odoo is very big, and we are using only a small subset of that.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's stable for our usage because our usage is not too high.
I would rate it nine out of ten. Only once have we seen some issues in the last six months.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Our usage is pretty simple, so we don't need that kind of scalability. However, I know that big companies like Toyota use it, so I think it should be scalable.
There are around 15 right now because we are piloting it. I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
There is some third party helping us with some support.
How was the initial setup?
It was not hard. The deployment process took about three months. We had discussions about what to use and how to use it, and there was some alignment that needed to be done. Finally, we had to get our data into it and begin using it, which took that much time.
What other advice do I have?
We are happy with the solution. I would rate it an eight out of ten. There are still some things like data room privacy, access, and hierarchy that are taking time.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Good payroll localization and effective customer support
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization."
- "Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization. Odoo is open software, and we are successfully running its payroll coding. Employees who join the firm can use Odoo for their end-of-service benefits and leave salary. I like Odoo's localization and integration. Whenever we test one module, it's already integrated with everything else. For example, if you are considering a purchase, Odoo also automatically reflects your procurement operations and sales.
What needs improvement?
Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Odoo a seven to eight out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Odoo a seven to eight out of ten for scalability. Odoo is used by big companies like Etisalat, which has around ten thousand to twenty thousand employees. Since Odoo is an online product, it is also used by many SMEs in the UAE.
How are customer service and support?
We have already contacted Odoo's customer support, who gave all the replies immediately on a ticketing basis. If the issue is big, they will forward it to their backend team. We can contact their customer support through call, chat or email. So, I'm really satisfied with their customer support.
What other advice do I have?
Odoo is built according to European standards, and they have open user localization.
Overall, I rate Odoo an eight and a half out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

What about the implementation team?
We did the deployment of the solution with one engineer that was in-house. Additionally, we used a technical person to assist us with the process.

What is our primary use case?
We deploy it for CRM projects. We use it for some project management and share purchasing.
What is most valuable?
The solution is easy to use.
What needs improvement?
Odoo cannot be scaled beyond the scope. If you want to go deeply, you have to be confident enough to do some development on it, and it will take much more time to deliver the project.
The authorization management needs to be improved.

I have been using this solution for about 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability as an eight out of ten.

It's a stable, user-friendly solution for managing our customers' appliances
Pros and Cons
- "Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use."
- "Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics."
What is our primary use case?
We use Odoo's CRM module to manage all our customers' appliances and the business that we are working on. Previously, we used the HR module. Only the 12 members of the sales team use Odoo.
What is most valuable?
Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use.
What needs improvement?
Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Odoo for about two or three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Odoo is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I believe Odoo is scalable. We don't use all of the modules.
How are customer service and support?
I rate Odoo support seven out of 10. We didn't have local support in the beginning, but I saw an ad recently seeking partners here in Argentina, so maybe they have local support now. We don't need tech support often, but I believe their support is based in Finland, so the response time is delayed because of the time difference.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Odoo is easy. Though I didn't do it, my team told me that it was straightforward. It requires two IT people to maintain.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Odoo seven out of 10. Compared to Salesforce, it's maybe a four or five, but it's okay for our purposes. If you plan to implement Odoo, you should take the time to learn the features. For example, we needed more time to set up the reporting module.
