Odoo vs the rest.
Honest side-by-side.

How does Odoo compare to AFAS, Exact, SAP or your current system? Below is the honest comparison: five evaluation pillars, a verdict at the top and, at the bottom, when you are better off with the other. We will not pretend Odoo always wins, we tell you when it does not.

Why these comparisons exist.

ERP selection is a multi-year commitment. Most buyers hit the same wall: vendor brochures that paint everyone as the obvious winner, and "best ERP" listicles that never reach a verdict. These pages are structured differently: same five evaluation pillars for every comparison, a verdict at the top, and a clear pick-X-if frame at the bottom.

We are an Odoo Gold Partner, so we are not neutral. But we lose trust faster by overpromising than by being honest. If AFAS is the right answer for Dutch payroll, we say so. If Salesforce is the right CRM for your situation, we say that too.

From our own experience

Looking back at how many alternative software packages we have run into along the way, it has become quite a list. Sometimes as a competitor in a sales process, sometimes as the system we migrated customers off - and a few we have used ourselves. Those experiences are what the comparisons below are built on. Curious what users themselves say about Odoo? We analysed 2,500+ public Odoo reviews.
