As an Odoo partner, Olbricht IT supports you in choosing the right hosting and license method for your individual needs. In this article, we explain the various options and help you make the right decision.

    Hosting options for Odoo

    Odoo offers various hosting options, which can vary depending on the company’s requirements:

    1. Odoo Online (SaaS): This is the easiest and fastest way to use Odoo. Odoo takes care of the entire infrastructure, maintenance and updates. Ideal for small and medium-sized companies that do not want to devote IT resources to managing servers.

    2. odoo.sh: A Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution that offers greater flexibility and control than Odoo Online. You can install custom modules and benefit from automated backups and testing. Perfect for companies that want to make customizations without worrying about server management.

    3. on-premise hosting: Here you install Odoo on your own servers. This option offers maximum control and customization, but requires your own IT resources for maintenance and updates. Suitable for large companies with specific requirements and their own IT teams.

    License models for Odoo

    Odoo offers various license models to meet different needs:

    1 Odoo Enterprise: This is the commercial version of Odoo with extended functions, regular updates and support. There are different pricing models depending on the number of users and the required modules. Ideal for companies that require comprehensive support and additional functions.

    2 Odoo Community: A free, open source version of Odoo that offers basic ERP functionality. Although the Odoo Community version is free and offers basic ERP functionalities, it is not suitable for companies that rely on comprehensive support and regular updates. Companies that require a stable and extensible solution should opt for one of the paid versions of Odoo, as these offer additional features, professional support and enhanced security.
