As someone with over a decade of experience in UI/UX and front-end development, I found Odoo’s user experience deeply frustrating and counterintuitive. The platform may be powerful under the hood, but its interface design feels outdated, cluttered, and inconsistent across modules.Navigation is one of the biggest pain points – it’s unintuitive and forces users to take too many steps for simple tasks. There's little cohesion in visual hierarchy, making it hard to prioritize actions or find key information quickly. Button placements, inconsistent icons, and lack of affordance often leave users guessing what to do next.Responsiveness is another letdown. While Odoo claims to be mobile-friendly, using it on smaller screens is a chore. Layouts break or become unusable, and interactions are clearly not designed with touch in mind.Customizing the interface isn’t straightforward either. For a system that prides itself on being modular, it does very little to empower the user in terms of tailoring the UI to their workflow.In short, Odoo feels like it was built with developers in mind, not end-users. For a business platform that handles everything from CRM to ERP, the UX should be seamless, efficient, and pleasing. Unfortunately, Odoo falls short – and for teams relying on usability and speed, that’s a deal-breaker.
