Chose Rippling
The employee interface is SO much easier to use on Rippling. ADP's sign-in page as well as complicated URLs and constant outages made it annoying to use. Rippling on the other hand is clear and concise. I like that they have MFA options and that they display information in a …

Odoo
It is well suited for inventory tracking, shipping and sales work flows. While some customization is needed to make it functional, if done correctly Odoo can serves as a powerful one stop shop for all of a businesses needs. The ease of customization for email templates, both for sales communications and marketing outreach leaves something to be desired. Perhaps our team hasn't explored this fully enough. I have personally found it intimidating in trying to construct a news letter using the email marketing module

Great as an HRIS-as-master and configuring dynamic groups that can be synced with downstream apps or IdP solutions to help streamline IAM processes and user lifecycle management. If you are a business planning to scale, Rippling is a noteworthy option that provides a nice suite of products that can be added as you grow. It may be too heavy for a small business, but worth keeping tabs with for future growth. The Rippling IT module could be beneficial for companies/businesses that aren't subject to tighter security controls. It still needs to build out more granular customizations and controls for it to be more competitive with other MDM's.

Pros
Odoo
  • The creation of products is extremely simple, I like that it does not complicate you to put a lot of detail, of course if you want to put more detailed information later it allows you to do it without problems
  • The fact that I can manage my inventory of my warehouse is very convenient, I only generate my stock report of the products we have in stock and taking inventory is easier
  • The management of opportunities in the CRM is also great, because the guys from the sales department generate their opportunity, place what their client is requiring and we, the logisticians, can automatically generate the quote for what they are requesting, and from there they can only download their quote and send it to their clients.

  • Keeping track of and entering time off and watching time of approvals
  • Providing fast links to access accounts for health/retirement benefits
  • Extremely convenient access to see how much money is left in my flexible savings account and reordering a new card if I need one

Cons
Odoo
  • Customer service is nonexistent. You will need a 3rd party to assist you.
  • The system has an open app for integrating with other programs. These are developed by third parties and can be hit or miss in functionality.
  • The system offers great flexibility; however, it is too much and requires coding. For example, changing a Sales order PDF requires coding to modify the document.
  • Initial implementation is clunky and seems to require a 3rd party just for setup.

  • The overall look and feel of Rippling is dated; it looks like it's straight out of the 00's.
  • The could be more functionality in the LMS, expanded features, more options, it works, and it's basic, but it could be really great with a few added features.
  • The shift from using people's personal email to log in to their work email, not everyone wants to use their personal information to log into a work system.

Usability

Once you complete the training with Odoo, you have a great grasp of how the system works, and most every feature is intuitive- There is rarely a task within Odoo that I get frustrated trying to figure out- I can typically look through the system and find what I need to do, and if I ever do need support, the Odoo Support team is excellent

The interface is very user-friendly. Everything you do on Rippling is communicated to you via email (for example, when your invoice is approved, when your payment will be received, and any login attempts). There are some things that need work, though, some minor issues with "where some menus are located", but those are minor things that don't spoil the overall experience with the product (but they should be addressed nonetheless).

Rippling's performance has been great, no errors or glitches yet so far. I am confident that Going from one page to the next and all its complexity usage does not lag or times out, it works effectively and efficiently. While using Rippling and other apps it does not tend to slow it down, works great. No complaints.

Support Rating
Odoo
Easy - there is NO SUPPORT (like in ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!!). Even for legally mandatory requirements where the system MUST work, they will gladly take a month to get back to you with a NON-answer. We couldn't even get our bank statements correctly into Odoo for 2 months - leading to no reconciliation and the company accounts were a mess (still are!!) as a result - Completely irresponsible. Have not EVEN had an apology from Odoo - they couldn't care less !!

It's really easy to implement in comparison to other tools or applications. Different key points are easily configured and implemented as per need, having different configurations in systems. Implementation is something which binds the different parameters of an organization in a single row. Implementation of rippling is much easier, quicker, and error free than any other software. I recommend it strongly!

Alternatives Considered

We decided to go with Odoo over Netsuite due to a few factors. Price was a big reason why, Netsuite is the most expensive ERP we vetted. I also did not have a great experience with Netsuite at my last job. I was on the roll out team and it did not work as promised for POS, inventory managing or reporting, it crashed constantly in the middle of using it. Just over all very poor. Considering it is owned by Oracle and the most expensive, you would think it would be able to function on some sort of base level. That company ended up terminating their contract with Netsuite early and going with a different company.
We don't have crashing or error issues. I can complete receives, cycle counts etc and all of my information saves. Visually, Odoo is more satisfying also.

We chose Rippling primarily based on cost and feature set available. As a small organization, budget is a high priority. Rippling gave us enterprise-level features at an affordable cost for an early stage start up. We appreciate that we have the opportunity to expand our feature set within Rippling as our business and workforce grow.

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

Return on Investment
Odoo
  • In older versions, it was super expensive to make it even work. You had to hire third-party developers all the time.
  • Newest versions have better built in functionality.
  • Cost is pretty high. Odoo plus developers to support it could bankrupt a small business.

  • Our HR team used to spend almost three days doing payroll calculations before Rippling. This platform has cut that time down by 75%! Now they can devote the time they would've spent on payroll to other important tasks.
  • Rippling saves employees time by making time-tracking less of a headache.
  • Rippling has so many so many services that it's essentially a one-stop-shop for centralized HR solutions!
