Odoo vs Agiled: 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.

Robert T.: Hi there. My name's Rob, and I am the president and founder of my organization, and I'm giving Agile a five, and you can click on the link below for more of the review. Before Agile, I was really using, I'm going to call it a Frankenstein. I was using a lot of different applications, everything from Honey Book, to Excel, to Basecamp, to Trello, and trying to manage all of those. Dropbox for client files. It was just trying to piece all of those things together was just too much so I looked at Agile and found that all of those functionalities were built into the one platform. With Agile, the thing that I really like about it is, is with my organization, I'm trying to grow and I wanted to have the infrastructure and the pieces in place so that I could do that easily without having to change it all later. Being able to have a CRM, an HRM, so a human resource management tool built in, but also being able to use it for project management and the client portal. Those pieces together make it so that everything's built in. I'm using it for accounting and proposals now as well. It's really going to be really the backbone of my organization. Getting started with Agile was actually not that big a deal. It's a continual process, and going through all of the tutorials and the videos and the upgrade recently to the new interface was pretty simple. It's really just making sure that you're migrating the data that's important and the information that's important and setting it up so that you can do it. But even if you mess up, it's not that big a deal. You can actually change things pretty easily and quickly on the fly. Getting started with Agile, the biggest piece of advice I'd have for you is be thoughtful on what you're trying to accomplish and why you want the tool in place for your business. Only put the information in that you need to get started. Don't try and migrate everything, because a lot of times if you do that, it's garbage in, garbage out. So be thoughtful on what you're trying to accomplish, what the platform's really going to do for you, and then build your plan and your implementation plan from there. It doesn't have to be a highly documented tome. Use your note cards, use whatever, but build out the process and build it so that it fits your business. Don't make your business fit the tool.
