Odoo

Avantages

Nous étions optimistes au départ et odoo qui avait promis des adaptations pour notre secteur et exportations faciles et simples de odoo vers bob comptabilité , c’était innovant !

Inconvénients

Les coûts et le temps de développement nettement sous-estimé par odoo eux-mêmes, des engagements donnés à la légères et non tenu et donc plus de 10000 euro gaspillés car nous avons dû abandonner le projet car odoo était dans l’incapacité d’établir une exportation vers bob comptabilité comme prétendues très facile au départ.

Avantages

My company was looking into finding some new manufacturing software for our business. I spent quite a bit of time in Odoo looking at their manufacturing module. The first thing that jumped out at me is how Odoo is pretty unique in its functionality. It doesn't go about things in the standard way many manufacturing programs do, but can accomplish all standard needs. I was especially impressed with the customizable capabilities of Odoo with their Studio module but also the ability to do large scale customization as their software is open source. The modular setup of the software is also nice as you can add modules as you go and your business grows or needs change.

Inconvénients

I thought this software had a fairly high learning curve to operate well within it. I believe this is because of their uniqueness in how the software is setup. Once you get used how it works, it works well and was fast and consistent. The price is reasonable, but as more modules are added, the price per user can get pretty high.

Avantages

This software is easy to use, easy to setup, easy to understand.
There are so many things you can do that it really feels like you are behind one of the most expensive ERP's out there.

Inconvénients

You will have to take time to set it up correctly, you will have to learn how to use it.
Don't expect it to be running magically.
It is not a flaw of the system, it is just what every piece of software to manage your enterprise requires and that takes time.

Avantages

The only thing admirable about this software is the way it looks on the front end.

Inconvénients

Absolute disaster on the back end. Can't even import data - have to pay their techs to do everything - which, of course, they flatly deny. So you keep paying them and paying them thinking that one day you'll be able to use the system. It won't happen. They actually brag about how it took 2 years and $100,000+ to implement a system that should have taken a few months. And once you pay for them to make it work, you have to pay to have them maintain it. Total scam.

Avantages

It's free, it's modern, it's complete, it has lot of people working around it, it's updated, it's flexible.

Inconvénients

Learning curve is not that easy. It's expensive to get consultancy and development.

Pourquoi passer à Odoo

Avantages

Odoo comes standard with reporting in IFRS and /or GAAP, allowing you as a small business to easily blend into a good reporting that your country warrants you to report with. Also , there is a free version (community edition) which gives you all the necessary capabilities you would need as a small business.
Also, you can easily add extra modules which will solve other needs e.g. FedEx/UPs modules for logistics execution eventually.

Inconvénients

you may need additional customization and you need to pay for use of studio app. In case, you do not have coding capabilities in python , then you will need to learn how to use the studio app.

Avantages

It's Free and has many free modules available.
Best to use if you cannot afford paid ERP systems. You can customize to fit your use case and your business

Inconvénients

Hard for beginners to get started. Support is very hard to find. Very few tutorials available online. Even though it's free, you need experienced people to customize it for you.

Avantages

It is reliable & secure software that is easily acquired. End 2 end integrations in all modules which makes business operations more effective & efficient.

Inconvénients

Customers Services is not up to mark & it requires training to get started.

Avantages

I can't say anything good for them, very unprofessional.

Inconvénients

Before sign the initial contract, they tell us the implementation would be in the following days, but after signing, this becomes 40 days to start. We couldn't accept that so we resigned to work with them.
After four months they don't refund us the money, don't reply to our emails and refuse to give us any explanation.

They haven't work with us a single minute, a clear robbery.

Avantages

It was very smooth working so over all result was perfect

Inconvénients

Not to be specified as I haven’t encountered any error so far

Avantages

Functionality even features and almost users friendly, easy to use everything !!!
Really awesome applications...

Inconvénients

It's awesome applications..
Performance issues but nothing else...
Improve odoo server optimization...

Avantages

It's a great software that serves any business of any size, it has many apps that suits all your needs, also there is an option to shape it & get tailor made system focusing more on what you need, the integration between the apps is great, and it's not too hard to learn it.
Also you choose to use some apps only & you'll be charged per app per user, so you won't pay much more than what you can or need.

Inconvénients

So far nothing, except that it's not so easy to understand at the beginning.

Avantages

everything from crm and sales management to inventory and MRP in one application, on one database. Everything is extensible.

Inconvénients

have to use Python for community edition, to do any modification to it, which i am not a fan off at all.

Avantages

I don't know because after a year of using up most of our pre-paid 100 "success" hours of implementation our website is not done.

Inconvénients

We spent many hours with initial sales adviser giving him our requirements. Then we were handed off to two other implementation advisers and had to repeat our requirements to both only to be told that Odoo's platform is not capable of doing what we want. All this time we were being charged for implementation. Then their responses slowed down to a trickle. They made us pre-pay and then went silent

Avantages

We thought we would like the ease of use and easy integration.

Inconvénients

We haven't had the support from the Odoo team to properly implement our inventory management system. It's taken several MONTHS and we still aren't using it to it's full capacity. It's difficult to find a trainer we can understand because the dialects are so strong also.

Avantages

It has really great customization, which is done via a wide range of dashboards. Besides, there are a number of integrations, which help to build a solid eco-system.

Inconvénients

some of the features are a little bit pricey, besides, if you want a really customizable solution for your business, you have to read a lot of docs before you figure out how to to do it.

Avantages

To manage functional department and product in general

Inconvénients

odoo web with mobile compatibility. report and analysis with more features!
