Odoo

★ 46k

Suite of business apps from invoicing to inventory that snap together as you grow.

Odoo does the job of NetSuite, self-hosted. It is LGPL-3.0-licensed, a copyleft licence, and setting it up is an afternoon, not a weekend. NetSuite bills $99/user for it. 46k stars on GitHub.

Open-source replacement for NetSuite.

Is it actually a replacement?

We have not written a verdict on NetSuite yet, so this page says what Odoo is rather than judging what you would give up. When that product gets a page, this one will link to it.

How Odoo runs

Where it runs

Odoo runs on your server.

Installing it

Use Odoo's packaged installer, source install or Docker image, backed by PostgreSQL.

Where your data lives

Business and website records in PostgreSQL; uploaded attachments in Odoo's filestore.

What setup takes

A production deployment needs PostgreSQL, workers/reverse proxy configuration, backups and ongoing administration of a very large suite.

The catch compared with LearnWorlds

Odoo does not match LearnWorlds' interactive video, mobile learning, community or specialized engagement tooling.
