Odoo AccountingSAP S/4HANA Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend
Odoo Accounting is well suited for small and medium businesses that want to use an affordable cloud-based accounting solution with a simple, easy-to-use, intuitive, and user-friendly interface. For someone who does not have the strongest accounting knowledge with GAAP, Odoo Accounting solution will be familiar with the system easily after a couple of hours of technical training by Odoo consultants. Odoo Accounting will be not suitable for the complex accounting and invoicing processes within its standard functionalities without doing custom codes through its Odoo studio to fit with the requirements.

I am not part of the team that makes this decision but I would recommend renewing the contract. Most employees at Tennant are long term employees and would find it difficult to change to a different software. They are comfortable using SAP.

Usability
I believe Odoo Accounting software is an easy-to-use, intuitive and user-friendly accounting software that can be available in both free community versions and enterprise versions. In terms of the software subscription cost-effectiveness and overall functionalities, Odoo Accounting will be a good choice for the small and medium businesses that want to change their existing legacy systems into a more modernized and cost-saving fully integrated cloud-based solution because of its user-friendly interface and easy to map with their existing business processes effectively.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud has a super flexible and intuitive dashboard, allowing every user to navigate effectively. It also has powerful customer help, which acts as a guide for new subscribers. The features deployed are realistic and functional, without defects. Constant changes and updates are proactively shared.

Support Rating
Odoo has two forms of support.
  1. Success packs where you get a Single Point of Contact (SPoC). This is great.
  2. Free support tickets. This is not stellar, and is only applicable within the standard framework. They will not support customizations for free. That said, I have found that they generally can help me out.

The support system I find great as whenever I run into problems they rectify them quickly as possible they never reacted late the support is just up to the mark for me. They provide many solutions to the problems I faced the [technical] team support is always amazing they [listen] to mean work accordingly.

SAP requires
a lot of internal and external resources to complete its successful
implementation. The cloud version requires a deeper understanding of the
different capabilities of the local systems (hardware) and the connection
towards your local IT team. We found several problems on our systems that we
couldn't foresee before the implementation and roll out.

Alternatives Considered
Odoo Accounting is a big step up from Quickbooks, especially with the other apps. You see, Odoo Accounting can be used by itself, but is meant to be used with other apps such as Sales, Website, eCommerce, Inventory, Purchase, CRM, and more. The real benefit comes with the integrations with these apps.

Previously we had implemented Azure Cloud Services which had cost us excessively compared to SAP cloud. Also I found the user interface easier to work with compared to the azure cloud as well. Overall the features are really good compared to Azure and cost is also less compared to it

  • More Automation
  • Centralized Management

  • Surpasses many well reputed applications in terms of performance and data insight when you are into SAP products
  • More reliable and secure as we are not going to create multiple copy of master data, one single shared master data and all will work like charm
  • For authentication we can also use Microsoft MFA or Google single sign-on , so less complexity
  • For customized business process, we can implement extension packages which are like templates
