What you give up vs Salesforce
- Many polished features (advanced CRM tooling) push you toward the paid Enterprise edition
- Community Edition UI and modules are deliberately limited
- Self-hosting the full stack is heavy and complex
- Upgrades between major versions can be painful
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Odoo (CRM) on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Salesforce: notoriously expensive per-seat licensing).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (LGPL-3.0).
