"Microsoft products are very good in general. This product is flexible, easy to use, intuitive, and has good capabilities."
"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."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
"Being open source, it is more affordable compared to alternatives like Oracle or SAP, and I appreciate how easy it is to customize with the available sources."
"What I find the most valuable about Odoo is its simplicity."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Odoo are its customization and the fact that I can add modules whenever I want to the solution and the customization."
"I like the helpdesk module, and I like the simplicity of integration among their modules. All the modules are very well integrated, and you can move among the modules in an easy way."
"With Odoo, being open source is advantageous because we have access to the source code for whatever we develop. This gives us the flexibility to make additions, deletions, or modifications according to our needs without any restrictions. There are no predefined formats that limit our customization options."
"I think Microsoft should improve on the process of how the user decides on a business workflow. For example, there may be some kind of drag-and-drop interface that lets us decide for ourselves how to develop the business workflows that fit our purpose."
"The reporting tool has room for improvement."
"The solution could include the retail tool in the native version."
"It could be more stable."
"Any request that had come from the website had to go through an e-form which was then plugged into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. There was no direct data capture. That was the pain point, where clients had to build e-forms, and that caused delays in transactions and getting information."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV could be improved in terms of exporting income statements and balance sheets. Currently, there is a feature, but you can only have the last three years. I spent some time trying to improve the KPI portion that exports the data, that already calculates the sub forms or subtotals, but they weren't able to break that up into different dimensions. They've now managed to crowd the separate table and you can export that, but it's only for the last three years. So, they could improve this solution by getting the chart of accounts or the account schedules to be exported, where you can go further than just three years with it."
"There is a lot of improvement needed in the top model, such as better integration with logistics, quality management, and data modeling for all revenue types."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central could be reduced."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better."
"The authorization management needs to be improved."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature."
"The solution lacks local API support. Also, it lacks some database integration platforms. In short, it lacks an API integration platform."
"They could thoroughly study the market dynamics of different regions and connecting areas."
"Odoo could improve its newsletters and social media campaign features, which currently feel a bit weak."
