Magento has instantly hit the ecommerce software market and offered store owners brand new ways of engaging customers and generating revenue.  Odoo, initially known as OpenERP, has entered the market not so long ago, but already got an army of supporters.  Obviously, both Magento and Odoo have their pros and cons. 

 

 

Magento is a robust platform that serves specifically to the needs of ecommerce industry. Thus, it provides an extensive range of functional capabilities that are critical to modern online retailers. Odoo positions itself as an all-in-one business management platform that incorporates the full range of enterprise systems. With a wide spectrum of in-built applications, Odoo can take care of ERP, accounting, analytics and other business processes without the need of deploying external plugins.

 

 

The price of deploying Magento depends on the chosen platform option. Magento Community is a basic, open-source version of Magento. Same as Magento, Odoo offers both an open-source and a paid editions. The first one is free of charge. 

 

 

Magento is based on PHP, which as of today dominates the market with over 80% share. The default Magento installation is quite cbvs                                intuitive and easy-to-use which makes it a perfect option for developers. Written in fast-programming languages Python and PostgreSQL, Odoo provides for quick store deployment. However, the platform lacks proper documentation, which can slow down the development process. As for the supporting community, Odoo counts 20,000+ people. Even though the number of websites running on Odoo is constantly growing, it is still not as huge as the number of Magento-based stores.

 

 

Magento: Even though Magento provides for a plethora of built-in capabilities, integration with 3rd-party systems is still a relevant task, especially for the bigger stores. 

 

Odoo: Being modular, Odoo already provides the majority of applications required for business process management.
