Odoo reviews

Duur en veel systeemfouten op nochtans eenvoudige zaken

Opmerkingen: Leek fijn programma en niet te duur... Maar hebben een jaar tijd gespendeerd aan voorbereiding/ implementatie en ondertussen heel veel geld uitgegeven aan voor ons normale zaken die echter niet in het programma zaten. Ook 'golden partner' van Odoo waar we mee samenwerkten was allesbehalve golden en we waren genoodzaakt de samenwerking stop te zetten.

Pluspunten:

Alles gebeurt via internet. Dus gemakkelijk toegankelijk.

Minpunten:

Zeer duur. Lijkt oorspronkelijk goedkoop maar om het product geïmplementeerd te krijgen zoals je het wil ben je heel veel geld kwijt. Essentiële zaken werken niet: enkele vbn een order omzetten naar een verkoopfactuur met korting kontant geeft soms een ander eindbedrag op de factuur (meestal lager eindbedrag)OCR werkt maar half.. je moet steeds nog zelf wijzigingen aanbrengen..Labels afdrukken is na een jaar nog niet inorde. Kan je niet zelf maar moet door een specialist terzake gebeuren.[gevoelige inhoud verborgen] kent Odoo niet.. ook hier zeer omslachtige procedure. Boekhouding is echt een achteruitgang tov vorige pakket dat ik had.

Odoo, een ware openbaring als je met andere paketten hebt gewerkt

Opmerkingen: - Positief, het heeft wat tijd gekost om iedereen op een lijn te krijgen
- Als je uit een spreadsheet gedreven omgeving komt ben je de flexibiliteit wel kwijt, dit geldt echter voor alle ERP systemen

Pluspunten:

- All-in-one, alle data in een systeem, geen koppelingen, geen download en upload - Gebruiksgemak - Flexibele rapportage

Minpunten:

- Financieel is wel even wennen zeker als je een ander pakket gewend bent - Implementatie tijd, door zijn geintegeerdheid moet je heel goed weten waar je mee bezig bent

Mijn eigen ervaring

Opmerkingen: Ik denk dat open source software beter is dan closed source software, want als je open source software gebruikt, bezit je die eigenlijk, en dit is een hoge veiligheidsfactor, maar closed source software huur je die software.

Pluspunten:

Heb je een bedrijf, dan heb je een bedrijfsmanagementprogramma nodig, en hier wil ik je vertellen over odoo. Het is een eenvoudig systeem voor het beheer van werknemers op afstand en het plannen van bedrijfsmiddelen.U kunt ook de financiële status van uw bedrijf en uw saldi volledig synchroon kennen, zodat u de zwakke plek in uw bedrijf kunt ontdekken en deze onmiddellijk kunt versterken. het organiseren van meetings en calls met klanten en medewerkers, het is, kortom, een geïntegreerd softwarepakket om Work efficiënt en volledig onder controle te houden. odoo is een Belgisch bedrijf dat begon met tien werknemers en nu meer dan 9 regionale kantoren over de hele wereld en 5 miljoen gebruikers heeft.

Minpunten:

Wat betreft een open source-programma, ik denk dat er bijna geen defecten zijn. De programmeertaal is Python, en het is heel gemakkelijk, maar misschien moet je code kopen voor een goedkope prijs.

Bizar slechte klantenservice, eindgebruiker is nummertje.

Opmerkingen: Mijn persoonlijke ervaring is niet goed, Odoo gedraagt zich zeer arrogant, en komt niet met concrete oplossingen, eindgebruikers zijn de klos! Als je voor Odoo gaat, denk dan eerst goed na, test alles door, en betaal pas als alles werkt!

Pluspunten:

Functies, voor een goede prijs. Maar dan moet het wel werken zoals geadverteerd, en dat doet het niet.

Minpunten:

Je bent voor het koppelen van een webshop afhankelijk van een 3e partij, de connector waar wij mee werken werk vanaf dag 1 niet goed. De developer van deze connector heeft het bijltje erbij neer gelegd. En Odoo zelf, doet niks om de eindgebruiker te helpen, en verwijzen naar onze partner, die net als ons ook niks kan. Als je een platform aanbied met plugins van 3e partijen, controleer dan op zijn minst de kwaliteit, en als de developer zijn afspraken niet nakomt, dan verwijder je deze van het platform todat ze hun afspraken nagekomen zijn. Als je als eindgebruiker niet betaald word je meteen afgesloten, maar als je een flut-plugin online zet, dan mag je hier geld mee verdienen en je bent niet verplicht om service te verlenen en het probleem op te lossen. Bizar!

Excellent ERP to manage your business operations

Opmerkingen: We used to use spreadsheets before switching to Odoo and the savings in time and effort, plus the accuracy of the information is the main value we receive. Particularly, the Recruitment module helps us to configure an Application Tracking System, and now, we have visibility over KPIs that before was not possible. The implementation of an extension of the CRM module allow us to customize easily the system to our needs too.

Pluspunten:

Odoo provides my company with all the modules needed to manage the business. It is easy to set up, intuitive and the modules are well integrated.

Minpunten:

The Community edition provides a lot of built-in features, but since version 9, Odoo has been moving features from Community version to Enterprise, so I could see some of them, which I was using, unavailable in recent versions.

Buckle your seatbelt, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Opmerkingen: The biggest hurdle was the initial implementation so this may be something you would need to prepare yourself for if deciding on choosing Odoo, unless of course you are happy to pay for the support packages offered by Odoo which we found to be very costly. Other than this the system itself is an excellent piece of kit and it has helped our business traverse the gap between startup business to SME

Pluspunten:

Odoo is an extremely powerful software. We use the Manufacturing Module and the CRM Module prominently and these have both been brilliant tools that we are very happy with internally. The MRP is excellent at automating our manufacturing process whereby our production manager has only to add orders to the system while the system itself creates the PO's, calculates times and helps us to schedule our work. The CRM for the sales side is really easy to use and browse through and has a very good tagging feature allowing me (as sales director) to easily filter accounts and keep track of leads.

Minpunten:

The initial implementation was painful to say the least.. We stated using Odoo way back in 2015 so this may have been due to our slow uptake of the software how ever I recall that once we signed up as paid users, there was very little support given to set up the system (unless we paid extra for the hourly support..). This was a big issue as we never had an easy way to contact someone for help with little configurations and therefore had to do most of the implementation ourselves. It took us over a year to get the system working properly

Odoo is the greatest free/open-source ERP

Opmerkingen: Odoo's components are seamlessly integrated for a variety of unrelated tasks, which aids in technical and functional workflow comprehension. The system's potential to serve as a one-stop shop for all forms of commercial activity.

Pluspunten:

As far as open-source ERP systems go, Odoo is tops. Odoo's open-source and free community edition comes with a wide variety of useful apps. It also has a more feature-rich premium version called Enterprise.

Minpunten:

Odoo is open source, thus it should be simpler to customize. Nevertheless, it is difficult to track down reliable resources that instruct programmers on the subject.

Working with Odoo is easy and it's flexible.

Opmerkingen: Feel good about the flexible system. But it's not good in that it pays attention to customers. and new visitors

Pluspunten:

Working with Odoo is easy if you've used other ERPs before, Each Features have a similar face Most of my employees say it confuses them sometimes.

Minpunten:

After paying extra for support Odoo changed the importance of the customer. as a user I'm sure that in a few years If there is no change my company must stop using Odoo services.

Basim Global user / company review for odoo as an ERP system.

Opmerkingen: as a product excellent system except of above cons.

Pluspunten:

Complete Set of system is created considering a business requirement of SME and MSME. Each module is created considering each and every department of a business organization.

Minpunten:

Bad Customer Service an dependence on ticket system rather than quick Assistance to solve issues, Bad Sales Team, if not tested I would never have purchased the system if was dependent on sales rep. to sell me the product. Wrong Partner network that might drive prospecting and new onboarding customers.

A open source MRP free of charge, but beware of implementation costs

Opmerkingen: If you are running a SMB with a low budget and are kind-of- IT-savy, you will get away with a reasonably extensive MRP free of charge (when using the Open-Source version).
You will count with CRM, Accounting, Operations, and Marketing basic modules, that will get the job done.
However if you are looking a seamless experience, you may want to evaluate mainstream tools like Hubspot, Zoho or SAP, albeit facing higher costs.

Pluspunten:

The open source version is free of charge. It counts with several modules, allowing to combine Sales, Accounting, Manufacturing and Logistics modules using ODOO as an ERP.

Minpunten:

It is cumbersome to customize. Especially when facing code, it becomes highly dependent on IT teams. This makes ODOO not the most accessible CRM to work with, even at the free trial version. Deeper customization often requires coding skills, meaning a high necessity to work with an experience Odoo partner. This is where the free-of-charge-open-source promise becomes tricky

Odoo is a great ERP and operations optimization tool

Opmerkingen: We don't have a clue about the engineering behind the systems' backend python code, nor do we have any experience with those systems.

Pluspunten:

Odoo's enterprise resource planning (ERP), point-of-sale (POS), human resources (HR), attendance (attendance), websites (websites Time and attendance can be easily tracked with this program, and its user interface makes it simple to set up and use.

Minpunten:

The POS software is user-friendly and flexible, but the hardware itself needs some TLC; perhaps the support team can assist with that.

A very reliable open source software package.

Opmerkingen: With a free registration and the possibility of exchanging ideas with an expert, Odoo increases the possibility of using specific applications in the execution of daily tasks, customizing and configuring according to your objectives.

Pluspunten:

The interface can be adapted to any need. We can organize and plan our future actions according to each goal to be achieved.

Minpunten:

There's nothing to lose by using Odoo because it's free and open source.

Building our Client's base for the Future

Opmerkingen: For the price we pay, we are 100% happy with the solution.

Pluspunten:

The easy way to add information about clients and potencial leads. The score about

Minpunten:

Nothing relevant on the platform that i dont like.

Inventory control with Odoo

Opmerkingen: In general it is a great help not only for inventory but also for project management.

Pluspunten:

One of its advantages that we use the most is the inventory control in multiple locations, this is for companies with distributed warehouses.

Minpunten:

It only happened once, but in one of its updates there was a slight imbalance in the inventory. It did not recognize the product entry made earlier. So you should be aware of them.

Odoo - a business-oriented program.

Opmerkingen: Odoo has a lot of positive aspects. The first is that it is more akin to a business development platform than an ERP. It is quite simple to build business logic on top of the Odoo "application server." Having said that, many excellent modules have already been written. And several modules are linked together.
The CRM module is fantastic. It helps you to manage your leads and prospects in a Sales funnel. Commercial Contacts may be monitored, and calls and messages to leads can be tracked. The "sort by last message" option offers you a good idea of when you should contact that lead again. You may also specify a "next step" date for possibilities.
The website builder is also excellent. Very user-friendly, and you create your website using graphical building pieces. The website builder also works with emails, which I use to create marketing emails. They also look wonderful.
The accounting section is also fairly comprehensive. You may immediately associate financial information, such as bills, with your customer. Dunning may be automatically implemented using rulesets. Odoo has comprehensive accounting capability in addition to invoicing (double ledger).
The HR feature is also useful for tracking your employees' vacation days and other information. You may also keep and categorize CVs for future jobs.

Pluspunten:

Odoo ERP software offers a broad set of systems that serve each area of the firm, including accounting, project management, customer service, warehouse management, manufacturing supplies, and so on. Because the Odoo system is created in a modular structure, users may pick suitable apps from the app store and install them on the company's account. The Odoo system's hallmark is its over 10,000 support modules. Enterprises merely need to choose the relevant functionalities and eliminate the unneeded ones.

Minpunten:

Odoo installation and setup are difficult. To understand this Odoo, you must have programming abilities. This can be irritating for your company since dealing with the installation problem requires time, effort, and, most importantly, money from your employees.

Odoo for ERP, Supply chain, Manufacturing, trading, Ecommerece business

Opmerkingen: We used it to streem line and for effective supply chain and finance, it helped us to determine those key factors, and we customisely made reports for performance of company aswell individiduals.
In supply chain, tradeoff and optimization between shortages and overstocking, cash to cash cycle inprovement made by analysing and bottle necks deteced by odoo.
Longterm pending cases, reporting, email notification for a abnormal or overdue, and over amount transactions helped us to manage finance on a well way specially when we were in crises.
Sourcing rather than manufacturing analyse by customize odoo, in costing and RFQ is wonderful.

Pluspunten:

Easy installation, can be customize as per business scenario, wide support, business features, transaction are supported according to international business tactics. Almost every module available finance, invoicing, quality control, inventory, planning,manufacturing, MRP and DRP. The cross functionalities made odoo awesome, check and control over transactions, users is a powerful tool to control the business, available as Saas, local server aswell can be installed on custom domain. Speedy work, with better GUI, its best for large/medium industry. It perfectly supports Importing, exporting or migration from another ERP. Transactional control, tracing over network is available, secured platform for business. Android app is available, can be worked smartly on it. Purchasing control, Planning control, and inventory scenarios are purely designed on professional approach. Bottle necks, cycle time, EOQ can be configured on it, With configuration it can be run with optimistic, in future AI and automation it can be a advanced supply chain tool. For realtime tracking and tracing like Barcodes, QR codes are available to generate automatically/manually for batches and products.

Minpunten:

Customization is not easier, with depth documentation is required, which is unfortunately is not publicised. Limited database server type, it's somehow difficult to configure with existing dedicated database server. Transaction uniqueness records like algorithm for hitting a specific transaction is not being created, i.e on refreshing or by going back values can be submitted twice. Some pages, do not display properly on android app, specially visuals.

Use this product to increase your business productivity

Opmerkingen: I am working for 4.7 years with Odoo
Odoo is very good, practical and easy to use ERP software
Easy customization that fulfils every clients' organizational needs

Pluspunten:

Analysis reports and graphs provide easy understandability User attractive interface Easy customization Fast working

Minpunten:

According to Indian Accounting standards, I think that Odoo has to do more deep analysis and provides the functionality to their end-users for ease of use Also Odoo have to increase types of graphs provides graphical data

ERP:Finance and Manufacturing on Odoo

Opmerkingen: Good for SME, trade or ecommerce business, efective ERP not any bug found. Finance, planning,porecurement,inventory and manufacturing are integrated each ither aswell seprately installed.

Pluspunten:

Every module is available, wide range of available features, modules. Grsphics and web interface is awesome, installation is easier, customization can be made. Secure and remotely access, available in SAas and local server, even can be installed on your domain.

Minpunten:

Customization is not easier, less controll on transaction data. Less controll on authorizations,roles. Management role is missing, can be slower or face bugs for large industry, some issues found in finance like credit limit cant be set.

Incompleted project, doesn't allow for easy customisation

Opmerkingen: I would highly recommend for anyone looking into a customised software system to not use Odoo. You will need a skilled developer to complete the simplest of tasks for you.

Pluspunten:

The idea of having an all in one database is great, but simply unattainable with their software system.

Minpunten:

We used a recommended developer from Odoo in Australia to build and develop our software system. Our project was allocated 12 weeks to complete and it is now 18 months later and the project has been abandoned. It seems that simple integration between Odoo and a payment gateway was difficult, taking the developer 6 weeks to complete. When the project was near "completion" I was advised to purchase the 12 licenses that would be required at a cost of $5000+USD for the year. At this stage, we could've only purchased 2 licenses to progress in the project. The project continued for a further 9 months until it was abandoned (due to it not being completed) at which stage we asked Odoo for to seek reimbursement for the licenses. Unfortunately, even though we used a recommended partner of Odoo from their website to develop our project, they informed us that they would not refund or partially refund our purchase even though the project isn't completed, a recognised developer was used, and we are still unable to use the software. Their suggestion was to give it more time.

Surveying was easy as pie, Thanks to Odoo!!

Opmerkingen: Sometime, it takes more time to go with surveys, and gathering response from clients. Odoo has helped me in this regard. It's completely a time saver and cost efficient tool. Overall, Odoo manage to reinforce my office work and get the worked done in seemingly less time, creating happy clients and dedicated team at work.

Pluspunten:

Odoo survey is the good option for quick start surveys. Before using it, I was in dilemma to choose the right software of my needs, and confused which one to choose, but with the help of capterra, I got to find the right one. The survey tool is a complete time saver, has pre-built questionnaire and other ready made stuffs to make your efficient and less time consuming.

Minpunten:

Odoo survey is more than a basic, unlike similar platforms, just in case you may get puzzled working with it's integrated features, so if you're not used to, you might feel it as a complicated one but trust me you'll be habitual and going with the survey will be lot easier after you use it. If you're waiting for a perfect survey tool for your work, Odoo Survey is the best I could recommend for you. And Lastly -I am not sugarcoating, believe me, that's my word! Try it once, you will get to know its value.

"Odoo: the key to more efficient and profitable business management - my testimony".

Opmerkingen: With Odoo, I have been able to solve several important business problems for my company. Firstly, the platform has allowed me to centralise all my business operations in one place, eliminating the need to use several separate software and tools to manage different functions of my business. This has greatly improved the efficiency and productivity of my employees, allowing them to spend less time juggling different tools and more time focusing on their core tasks.In addition, Odoo's project management functionality allowed me to better track the progress of my projects, set clear deadlines and ensure that tasks were properly allocated to team members. This allowed for better collaboration between team members and more efficient management of resources. I was also able to track sales and purchases more efficiently, using Odoo's stock management and invoicing features.Finally, one of the main benefits I have realised from using Odoo is better visibility of my business as a whole. The real-time dashboards have allowed me to track progress in real time, monitor sales and expenses and analyse business performance. This has enabled me to make better and faster decisions based on accurate data rather than estimates or hunches. In short, Odoo has enabled me to manage my business operations more effectively, reduce costs and improve the profitability of my business.

Pluspunten:

What I liked most about Odoo was its ability to provide a complete solution for managing my business. With Odoo, I was able to consolidate all my business operations in one place, from sales and purchasing management to project and human resources management. I also liked the flexibility of the platform, which allowed me to customise processes and functionality to meet the specific needs of my business. Finally, I found Odoo to be very easy to use, even for users without extensive technical knowledge. The user-friendly interface and online tutorials allowed me to get started quickly and take full advantage of Odoo's features. All in all, I found the Odoo solution to be very effective in streamlining my business processes and improving the management of my company.

Minpunten:

Although I really like the Odoo solution, there were a few things that I found problematic. Firstly, I found that some features were less intuitive than others, which meant I had to search longer than I would have liked to find solutions to my problems. Also, the initial installation process of Odoo can be a bit complicated, especially if you are not used to working with open-source software. Finally, I found that the online documentation and community forums were not always very clear, which sometimes made it difficult to find information on specific issues. However, on the whole, these problems were minor compared to the benefits I saw from using Odoo.

Helping companies to be better

Opmerkingen: I've been using Odoo in some companies as an employee, so I've been teaching myself (that easy it is). I started with some bad practices (modifying the base code) but I've gotten better making my own modules, but now I only use Odoo Studio (highly recommend it).
I've also shown the basics of the core to my IT coworkers, and once we understand how the api with python works, we've made wonders. We don't mess with the code directly (only the Partner does) and we can play with all the information with any python module or framework.

Pluspunten:

Odoo adapts to the company needs. When one of the owners of the Organization has a question, the answer can be easily be taken from Odoo, by grouping, filtering and in some other cases, by adding new fields to fill manually or automatically.

Minpunten:

As I jokingly say, sometimes Odoo is in a bad mood (when there is slow Internet connection) and Odoo displays an error or makes a rare behavior. But by refreshing the page, most of the times, it gets solved.

The best Open-Source ERP

Opmerkingen: Odoo is a very good workflow management software. It offers a variety of powerful and intuitive tools that simplify the management of finance, accounting, human resources and sales. The user interface is very intuitive and easy to learn, allowing me to start managing projects quickly and efficiently. The software is fully customizable with additional modules available that allow users to create workflows tailored to their specific needs.

Pluspunten:

Odoo offers a multitude of features that can be adjusted to specific business needs, and is very easy to use. In addition, the platform is kept up to date and is constantly improved with new features and updates to adapt to developments in technology and business.

Minpunten:

some advanced features like cloud services integration can be cumbersome to set up. Additionally, there are limitations in its ability to automate certain processes and to perform complex tasks.

Cool idea - Terrible PAID customer support - Buggy software

Opmerkingen: Very frustrating. I'm used to working with Open Source platforms and expect no support from platform developers except forums and white papers. When I pay for support, I expect support. Odoo PAID customer service acts like they are donating their time. In short, unless you have a python coder on staff, do NOT use Odoo.

Pluspunten:

*Opinions shared are from a 20 year marketing pro who knows his way around HTML/CSS/JS/PHP and running a LAMP config server. Tons of features and full suite of integrated apps. But all of them are buggy and PAID customer support is terrible.

Minpunten:

*Opinions shared are from a 20 year marketing pro who knows his way around HTML/CSS/JS/Lite PHP and running a LAMP config server. Terrible customer support. I mean, really, really bad. Takes a week or more, if ever, to get email questions answered. When answered, I get responses like this. "Yes, you are right. That is broken. We might fix it in the next VERSION. Or, you can pay us extra to fix it in this version." Odoo customization cost base development fee plus $5per dev hour per month forever. So, a 20 hour CSS/HTML/JS customization would cost BASE, plus $100 per month FOREVER. Odoo.sh multi website platform is a nightmare from SEO pov. Out of the box themes are responsive, but rudimentary. Their ecommerce themes are very bad. Back office sales order process takes about 20 clicks to complete . POS systems have limited hardware options Adding inventory is multi-screen / excessive click function. Shipping apps don't work well. All non-tech staff HATE the platform. System generates excess volumes of emails that can't be turned off. Paid hosting doesn't support NON WWW domain names. I never saw that problem in 20 years of hosting websites! The list goes on, but there isn't enough space here to write all the problems with the PAID version with PAID customer support.

Why Others When Odoo Is Here?

Pluspunten:

From entering Raw Material into company to sell it as a Finished Product and even after sales, Odoo captures all the information with financial impacts in really nice and simple way. Process of goods receipt and delivery with quality checks are simply stunning. Moreover, it's mobile and web based features are reasons to stand ahead with other competitors. It has all features which are essential for any company, with really simple and interactive user experience and can easily integrate with any third party app.

Minpunten:

There should be more features in Quality Module which are compulsory in FMCG and Pharmaceutical industry. There should be parent Manufacturing Order under which sub-orders will lie, so that issuance of product is made separately as per real issuance OR issuance should be made against Work Orders instead of Manufacturing Order. Speed is also another area which should be looked.
