Odoo vs SuiteDash: Which is a better fit?

Charles: Hi, my name is Charles. I'm a mental performance consultant. I've been using Odoo for my personal business and I give it a rank of four out of five. Before using Odoo, I wasn't really using anything, which meant that a lot of responsibilities and task fell on my desk. So I started using Odoo to kind of schedule everything out, make sure I organize everything, work on billing, work on implementing an e-commerce, and also just learning to manage project between the different people that we had collaborating with us. I decided to choose Odoo because I needed a system that was a bit more precise and concise to work with the different people that we had, with the different schools and the different projects. And at the same time, I wanted to use the same platform that was going to allow me to work on billing and invoices without using another software in order to complete that task. So implementing Odoo was fairly simple. Obviously it's a new software which always takes time. But the person that helped me set it up made sure that things were running smoothly and that we didn't really have any issues. The big plus of Odoo was the easy customer service and the fact that the app was very user-friendly for myself, but also the people that was also on board using the platform. The main advice I have for anyone who wants to use Odoo in their business, if you're looking to save time and really you having multiple things to do all the time, Odoo will just help you facilitate those roles and understanding, facilitating and delegating all that work that falls down on your lap, that was a big different changer for me. The biggest thing was just accepting that the business was growing and that I needed help to make sure that every single files were completed on time, which is the main reason and the main advice that I tell you on why you should use Odoo.

David P.: Hi, I'm David, owner and founder at 3LQ by Prodigy Tutors. SuiteDash, I would say a five. The other product I had was actually a homegrown solution. I'm a developer by trade, so I think that I'm smart. So I got together some Excel and some Apps Script, and I thought I was creating myself a decent CRM until I realized what all that entailed and all of the nuances that go along with tracking leads and the follow-up email marketing. So yeah, I had to admit that my solution wasn't worth too much and look for another solution. I chose SuiteDash because of all of the functionality that they have, and it's functionality comparable to the bigger names. It's like the enterprise apps, but it was really expensive. And listen, I am a solopreneur or whatever coin phrase we're using these days, and there is no extra money in the budget. So every dollar's accounted for, and SuiteDash was definitely a lot of bang for my buck, and ultimately that's why I chose it. Luckily, I'm a startup, so there were no real clients. There was no real business. So, I kind of integrated the business around SuiteDash. All of my test cases were built in SuiteDash. The customers weren't going in. They were new. So didn't have too much of an implementation. What I did have was a learning curve, a learning curve about actually, I think, the proper way to actually do marketing, the proper way for email marketing, the proper way to go through a sales pipeline because, before that, I didn't know what I didn't know. So, SuiteDash has opened up a world of, I guess, a world of knowledge, which ultimately leads to opportunity. I would tell them that if they offer any sort of learning, any tutoring or classes, don't buy another solution. I purchased my learning management solution prior to purchasing SuiteDash only to realize that SuiteDash has one built in that is pretty decent. I could have definitely saved myself a few bucks had I shopped around a little bit before I made some purchases.
