Hi, A client asks me why Tryton is better than Odoo. I prefer Tryton over Odoo because has a better community support and migration is guaranteed. How can I present Tryton a better option than Odoo from a technical and commercial point of view. Thanks in advance! ---

From a technical point of view, generally with Tryton we are more strict and so we prefer to crash than ignoring error. There are also some deep design choices: - we enforce data integrity on server side (I had some experiences migrating Odoo data to Tryton and we often detect inconsistent and incoherent data) - we use python Decimal for monetary to avoid floating point rounding issue - we use string name to configure methods instead of reference (ex: default value), this ensure modularity - we prefer Function field over denormalized data (Odoo `store=True`) - ORM generates more efficient SQL queries with more joins, sub-queries etc. (thanks to python-sql) - we design each module to be easily customized by reusing [common pattern](https://downloads-cdn.tryton.org/TUBA2015/design_pattern/) (Odoo has generally large function with sometimes hooks) - our PYSON allows more dynamic in the views - our queue, cache, lazy loading and model accessor allow to work on large set of records - our clients are business agnostic - we prefer using good external libraries than embed/vendoring/reinvent one (ex: Stripe integration where we use the official stripe python module when Odoo is using raw requests) From a business point of view, Tryton has less features but they are much more complete (so you need less custom code). I find this example saying long: [https://twitter.com/cedrickrier/status/1361382603371073537](https://twitter.com/cedrickrier/status/1361382603371073537) The Tryton UI is less fancy but some will prefer it because it is coherent and faster across all the application. ---

Upgrading in Odoo seams complicated, see [https://mstdn.io/@zeh/106958514703193853](https://mstdn.io/@zeh/106958514703193853) And more like an “emotional” reason: At Odoo everything looks nice and slick and like „we want your money“. While Tryton emphasizes on community, at Odoo you need to search long to find it. ---

odoo is a commercial offering using the open source as a demo. it has major features missing from the open source version which you have to pay to use - just look at the available plugins and their price. they have removed a lot of previously free features and are now charging for them. ---

Some other people are not happy with odoo as well: [https://twitter.com/ArnulfKoch/status/1251412783704481794](https://twitter.com/ArnulfKoch/status/1251412783704481794) ---

Unfortunately Tryton is not mentioned 😢 Anybody with a Twitter account, jump straight in and scream Tryton 🥁 It’s the best place to go if you want an ERP which is future proof, stable and can grow with you as you grow.
