Pros & Cons
Corteza
Pros
- Released under the Apache 2.0 licence, so it can be self-hosted with no licence fees and no vendor lock-in.
- The project says its data model supports most Salesforce standard objects, and users can add their own custom objects.
- Docker-based deployment gives organisations full control over where their data is stored.
- Releases are still being shipped regularly; 2024.9.10 came out in August 2026 and 2026.9 is the latest stable version.
Cons
- The CRM and Service Solution apps were removed from the default deployment in release 2024.9, so the CRM has to be built or installed separately.
- Reviewers say the interface is complex and can be overwhelming.
- According to Prospeo's review, namespace exports leave out workflow references and access-control permissions.
- There are very few independent reviews, and the user community is small.
- Paid support from Planet Crust is expensive.
Odoo CRM
Pros
- The free One App plan allows unlimited users on a single app such as CRM.
- Opportunities link natively to Odoo quotations, invoicing, inventory and marketing apps, so the data needs no syncing.
- The built-in Odoo Phone VoIP app places calls from CRM records and logs them automatically.
- Studio, the open-source code base and on-premise hosting allow deep customization.
- Cloud data is encrypted at rest with AES-256, and 14 backups are kept across three data centers.
Cons
- Reviewers say the interface overwhelms new users and that initial setup takes time.
- Studio, the API and multi-company require the more expensive Custom plan.
- Support quality and documentation draw mixed reviews, and some users call the docs outdated.
- Some users report performance issues with large datasets.
