    • Financial Edge is well suited for traditional day to day accounting, accounts payable, and related needs.
    • Financial Edge dashboard does not provide a snapshot view of data that I have found are available through other platforms (like QBO).

    Odoo
    I found out that a tile store near me uses this app. Odoo Invoicing is well suited to most businesses. Perhaps somebody with very little accounting background would find it difficult to use. That said with customer support options and the online training videos they offer, this could be overcome in most cases.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Customer service blames the customer, and never offers solutions other than "wait it out." I've always been told it's my computer, even though everyone else at my work has the same issues.
    • Website is constantly "under maintenance" and it somehow never gets better.
    • The Database View is outdated and glitchy. Honestly get rid of it.
    • The Crystal Report is the only way to handle monthly recurring statements, and Financial Edge does not offer support for it anymore. Good luck figuring that out on your own.

    Odoo
    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.

    Support Rating
    Discontinued Products
    I would give this a zero if I could. Here's the deal. Once you request a chat with a representative, they immediately respond. So responsiveness: 10/10. However, they have a tendency to (always) tell you that whatever problem you're experiencing is your problem, not theirs. They offer no solutions and never take responsibility for their website malfunctioning

    Odoo
    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.

    Financial Edge is more economical than GuideStar, and more focused on the financial successes than simply the management of funds and general data.

    Odoo
    Odoo Accounting is a simple, easy-to-use, and user-friendly accounting solution in terms of cost efficiency and the knowledge to use it. Odoo has a wide range of applications available and very customizable according to its modular structure. In addition, it is not very complex to use for the users and will be familiar with the system interfaces within a short period.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • Like any enterprise software, there are costs/investments ahead of return. It isn't something you would implement without support.
    • During the significant financial downturn, we were able to use FE to forecast trends and make budget adjustments easily. It transformed communication about forecasting and cuts with assurance.
