Disappointing Customer Support, Hidden Fees, and Declining Service Quality
We have been a loyal Odoo customer for years, but our recent experience has been extremely disappointing and has seriously damaged our trust in the company.
Odoo suddenly requested an additional upgrade fee of €224.40 because we were still using an older version, even though we completed the migration to version 18 only a few days after the stated deadline. We kindly asked for flexibility as a long-term customer, but the request was rejected with no willingness to find a reasonable solution.
What is even more frustrating is the lack of clear communication. We were never properly informed that the upgrade deadline had changed. Important notices were apparently sent only by email, with no direct follow-up despite Odoo having our phone contact details. For such contractual matters, communication should be transparent and professional.
The quality of account management has also declined significantly. Our previous representative was excellent, but the current support has felt impersonal and sales-driven. When we asked for guidance for the migration, we were told to purchase an expensive service package and were informed that many hours would be required. In reality, we completed the migration ourselves in just a few hours, without technical expertise.
Overall, this experience gave us the impression that Odoo prioritizes charging extra fees and upselling services rather than supporting loyal customers. For a company that promotes long-term business relationships, this is disappointing.
The software itself has potential, but customer care, transparency, and account management need serious improvement. Based on this experience, we are now considering alternative ERP solutions.
