Hello User community,


Anyone in the community has first-hand information on differences between
Odoo and Apache OFBiz.


Please share your experiences and differences you have observed in both the
product.


Thanks

Hi Divesh,

I guess you already tried something like https://www.google.fr/search?q=Odoo+Vs+Apache+OFBiz&ie=UTF-8 :)

See how they compare to us but not the reverse (at least that's what Google says)

The obvious ones to me are

Licenses: Oddo LGPL, OFBiz ASL2

Odoo is (partially[1]) open source but driven by a company, OFBiz is not only open source but also backed by an open community with Apache® guarantee

Languages: Odoo mostly Python and js, OFBiz mostly Java, XML, Groovy and Freemarker

According to feedbacks (and I tend to agree) Oddo has a better UI, OFBIz is more powerful (no surprises here ;))

Odoo is updated on OPenHub, not OFBiz (that's kinda a joke, but really why?)

I wonder how they compare when it comes to plugins. I have read and heard sometimes that Odoo plugins base is a spaghetti mess, I but that's maybe FUD
because I really don't know

BTW, hilarious FUD here about Oracle killing Java here: https://www.odoo.com/fr_FR/groups/community-59/community-19128829 :D

HTH

Hi Divesh  ,

Ofbiz is a generic framework backed by a very solid data model which is
generic
and exhaustive enough to accommodate many any business processes and
environments.

1000's of Ofbiz functions are exposed by web services that allows easy
integration
with other systems. This allows to bank upon the the data model utilizing
software
developed in any platform using language neutral interfaces like XML RPC.

in spite of being a modular framework it comes out of the box (OOTB) with a
very
functional web based interface.

Cons: The learning curve and packaging may be bit more challenging than
others
          but we have a very supportive community that welcomes new comers.

All,

Having used both Odoo and Ofbiz, I can tell you that one of the major
reasons we have switched from Odoo to Ofbiz is the process of upgrading
the software version as there is no built in process for upgrading from
one version to another in Odoo. You would have to purchase such service
from Odoo (quite expensive) to get that upgrade and keep your data.
Quite the opposite in Ofbiz as you. can move from one version to the
newer one in very simple way and almost transparent to the user.
