Feature comparison

We have compiled a table of the most important features into ten categories: Accounting & Finance, Purchases, Sales, Customer Relationship Management, Marketing, Warehouse Management, Manufacturing, Services & Projects, Human Resources and Usability & Productivity. These categories encompass almost everything an SME might need to manage, develop, and evolve its business operations. The two products analyzed have extra third party apps, developed by partners. Microsoft Dynamics NAV, NetSuite and Odoo all have a public app store. As these modules usually come at an additional cost (licence fees and / or implementation service), we only reported features that are in the standard package within our analysis.

Odoo (formerly known as TinyERP) was created in 2005 in Wallonia, Belgium. With more than 82 business apps fully integrated and thousands of community modules, the open-source software caters to every sector and company size, making it a major player in the market. This open-source software counts more than 20,000 downloads per day, making it the most installed app suite and a direct competitor to companies like Netsuite, Shopify, PrestaShop and Microsoft. Today, Odoo provides a full suite of business management software tools and is available in three editions: Community, Enterprise, and Online. The Community edition is completely free and can be downloaded via the Odoo website. The Enterprise edition offers more advanced features, but comes with an annual cost. Lastly, the Online edition offers the same features as the Enterprise version, but is hosted in the cloud and users are billed monthly. In 2022, Odoo switched to a simplified pricing structure that provides access to every Odoo app for a single “per-user” fee.

Microsoft offers Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision) as part of the Microsoft Dynamics family of ERP software. The software can be hosted in the Microsoft Azure Cloud (for an additional fee). Two licenses are available: a perpetual license and a subscription license to an external service provider. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 is split into two versions: the Starter Pack, which offers basic functions in finance, professional services, and distribution; and the Extended Pack, which adds manufacturing and warehouse management features. The purchase of the Started Pack is required in order to get the Extended Pack. We’ve chosen to use the Extended Pack in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 for the purposes of this comparison.
