Odoo Erfahrungen

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

The most interesting and brilliant thing about Odoo, is its framework and how easy we can develop using it.
Also some apps are just easy to learn and well documented.

Nachteile

- Luck of technical and functional documentations ( functional is getting better faster than technical ).
- Luck of automated migrations tools ( a pain for customers too ).
- Odoo still doing big changes to its core apps, which makes all our modules obsolete very quickly.
- Partnership model is very hard to keep the same label (eg. silver or gold) after a year or so, if you can't get more users.

Vorteile

There are a number of things about Odoo that I like as an employee who uses it. First and foremost, I appreciate that it is an open-source platform, making it extremely customizable and flexible. Because of this, I am able to customize the software to meet the particular requirements of my organization and to modify it as our requirements change over time.I also like the software's modular design, which lets me choose and use only the modules that are relevant to my job and duties. Because of this, the software is easier to use and more streamlined, and I don't have to deal with too many features and functions.Additionally, I like that Odoo offers both cloud and on-premise deployment options, allowing me to select the method of deployment that best suits the requirements and preferences of my organization.Overall, I believe that Odoo is a highly adaptable and scalable software platform that can assist businesses of all sizes and sectors in better managing their operations.

Nachteile

As an employee who uses Odoo, I believe that a few things could be improved. Something that I like least about the product is that the UI can be to some degree confusing and overpowering at times, especially for new clients who are curious about the product. Although the software's modular design is generally advantageous, it can make it challenging to navigate the various modules and features, which can be frustrating.Another problem I've encountered is that configuring and using some of the software's modules might necessitate more technical knowledge. Even though there are resources to help users with implementation and support, it can still be hard to use all of the features if you don't know a lot about the technology behind them.I have found that the expense of a portion of the undertaking releases can be a bit high, especially for little and moderate sized organizations with restricted financial plans. Even though the community edition is free, it might not have all the features and functions that some businesses need, making it hard to justify the enterprise edition's price.

Vorteile

All proccess of your business inside one place.

Nachteile

Odoo has a lot of features like another ERPs but it's really hard to get it working without get a lot of effort on coding features.
There are a lot of features without enought development. If you need to add some easy feature like "don't show to client some stuff" you need to develop this and it cost money.
Lot of pieces to join but those don't be so good yet.

Vorteile

The free version allows you to customize the invoices and get a good grip on it before you decide to get the full version if required.

Nachteile

I found it difficult to use. It was not logically laid out and also it was difficult to find already produced invoices and to edit them. I found it such a pain in the neck to use that I went back to my old software

Vorteile

With Odoo it is your all-in-one software for everything you need. It is awesome due to its ability to link everything together. You can track down order from start to finish. Great system if you are looking for all in one CRM, accounting, and inventory system. Website building off of Odoo is super easy and has great features to implement for your customer. This software has greatly improved our sales team and overall customer satisfaction because of the all-in-one solution and visibility of your operations.

Nachteile

Odoo is easy to use but it does have some challenges when implementing software or improving. This is due to the database has many ways it can be changed. If you have workflow you want to implement there could various ways to achieve it. I recommend ensuring you get as many support pack hours as possible this way when launching you can ask Odoo person as many questions as needed. You will for sure need someone great with software and can understand as it is sometimes challenging.

Vorteile

What I like the most in using Odoo is that it's very easy and convenient to set your schedule, just like for example when you have a scheduled courtesy visit with your clients, business trip and other business meetings. Also, you'll have a schedule alignment with your workmates because they will be able to know if your busy or not by just by looking at your Odoo Calendar.

Nachteile

I did not see anything wrong with using Odoo.

Vorteile

I really liked it because it offers a wide range of integrated modules to manage different aspects of my company. It allows to customize and adapt the software according to the specific needs of my business

Nachteile

at the beginning The learning curve was a bit steep, especially since I was not familiar with this type of software and also The initial configuration can take time and require technical knowledge to customize the software according to the needs of my business

Vorteile

The flexibility of the software, which in theory allows you to customize the software according to the needs of your business.
The price of the standard software - but beware, as soon as you start customizing it, the costs become unmanageable.

Nachteile

The project management for the software implementation is catastrophic and completely dependent on the consultant you are assigned to. There are no company-wide project management standards. We had 3 successive consultants: the first one was excellent - but the 2 that followed had no methodology, and the handover was not done. As a result, 3.5 years later, our project is not live. We have been forced to add "success packs" regularly - today we have reached 400h of development - and more than 60k€ of investment - with still NO view on the product launch and big doubts about the quality of the development that has been done over 3,5 years by different developers.
We can't count the number of bugs in our database, and the complexity of the proposed solution makes it rather inflexible and ill-suited to our business - while flexibility was why we chose Odoo in the first place.

On the customer side, we have deployed countless hours to facilitate the process and remain as flexible as possible.

Today the frustration is immense, and we are considering stopping everything to favor more user-friendly and efficient "low-code" solutions.

Vorteile

Odoo is an open source ERP system, so it is easy to customize according to your needs, provides many pre-installed modules that are very useful and easy to handle and can be used in all types of companies from small to large corporations.

Nachteile

To customize or develop it requires a lot of effort and time and also the cost of Enterprise versions is quite expensive, the interface should be more eye-catching development requires good programming skills.

ERPNext und Dolibarr

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Odoo

For the ease of installation or the purchase of space in the cloud that had the system pre-installed.

Vorteile

No data re-entry. All the apps are connected and share information. Saves so much time and money. Also, you can create your own modules, or hire an outsider to create a module for you, due to the open source nature of the software. Easy to add any of the pre-made apps.

Nachteile

It can run slow, if you don't take a little time to tune up the server it's running on, and use enough memory, caching, and ideally an ssd. There's a lot of database access happening. Upgrading to the new version is not easy. It would be great if the Odoo company would make upgrading a simple do it yourself automatic task, one click of a button, that would not require human attention for 2 weeks. There's an entire article with more about this on the Odoo site.

Vorteile

Fantastic bag of integrated tools from Inventory management, CRM, Sales and Supply chain working together to optimize our opperations. The logical and natual choise for us evolving from a small company into a medium enterprise.

Nachteile

Odoo's Onboarding team was a total waste of Time and Money and I seriously felt like being milked for every penny along the way. Eventually I dropped them and restarted the process with a local dev company and much better experience.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Odoo is one of the most customizable solutions out there, great for both goods (inventory management) and services (project management) needs. You can create any number of additional fields or workflows, and works great with the other Odoo applications. Its also a fraction of the cost of similar ERP packages like Dynamics, Netsuite or Oracle.

Nachteile

There's really no reason to use Odoo's accounting package separately from other Odoo applications. Its an ERP solution, not a stand-alone acconting package.
Odoo also doesn't have any payroll functionality, limited credit card processors and the connection to bank accounts relies on 3rd party plugins. But the biggest drawback is that you need an experienced project manager, an Odoo developer and 6 months of work to implement the solution.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Sales, buying, stocks, finance, projects, and other essential activities are all integrated. As a result, if the consumer has a standard business flow, they may quickly begin using it. Modification is only necessary if the user's workflow differs from that of a typical organization. Odoo is a very versatile piece of software, and If configured correctly, it may become the business's brain.

Nachteile

At first, it may seem that too many functions are accessible, but this is not the case. To get things running in a fashion that mirrors your standard process, you'll need to do a lot of adjusting and customizing depending on the business structure and present processes. The pricing is affordable; however, the cost perusers can rise rapidly as additional modules are deployed.

Vorteile

- User Experience very fluently
- Business Scope is complete
- Easy to develop and customize

Nachteile

- Difficult to found technical experts
- Difficult to found functional experts

Best relation between return and invesment

Vorteile

I like how everything flows together. From contacts, into the quote, into the sale, pulling from product /price list, into accounting. It has helped reduce a lot of redundant work, which we dealt with in our previous systems, which didn't speak to each other.

Nachteile

The accounting side of things is lacking. It has odd functionality. Like you cannot have 2 decimal places on your Sales side and 4 decimals places for raw materials/purchasing. Both sides have to be on the same decimal count, which is inconvenient. The bank reconciliation functionality is strange. It's not like Quickbooks, I believe it's more of a European way of reconciling, vs a USA sort of method. We've also had issues with the invoices not pulling from item receipts, they tie back to the PO, and ignore the Item Receipt. Which is also odd to me. So there has been an adjustment period on the accounting side.

Vorteile

The Odoo is a best open source software.
Your use facility is amazing and the best of all: is free!
Odoo has OCA Community that help the user in several questions.

Nachteile

In Brazil Odoo no have a very good support.

Vorteile

The reason why we had chosen Odoo is for the combination of applications and being open source. We use practically all modules; sales, CRM, Purchases, projects, webshop/website, POS, HR, repair management, manufacturing, and finance. Most of the competitor ERP software does not provide the webshop/website and POS modules. This point was for us at the end the most important one.

Nachteile

Because of the great number of applications within Odoo, they are not all at it's very best. But providing feedback, creating your own customisations or even your own modules does help to make the Odoo system more complete and easier to use.

Vorteile

May be, it is good for very simple operational business, like little restaurant, or little store. If you dont need to customize, it is easy to use and easy to learn.

Nachteile

At the beginning , it seems easy to use, but in real practice, very hard to customize. After adding or changing the basic functions, they dont work as expected, especially, the purchase, sale and inventory numbers are not coordinating.
