SaaS, PaaS oder On-Premise?
Online(SaaS)
As a SaaS (Software as a Service), Odoo Online offers the easiest solution for hosting an Odoo system. However, some functions have to be sacrificed for simplicity.
Advantages
- Odoo takes care of the entire maintenance of the system (security updates, hosting, migration)
- Out-of-the-box solution
- transparent license and pricing model
- no additional hosting costs
Disadvantages
- Only Odoo standard functions available
- Only minimal system adjustments possible

- Developments by Odoo implementation partners are not possible
PRICING free of charge (included in the Enterprise license costs)
Odoo.sh (PaaS)
With Odoo.sh, Odoo is hosted on a private, virtual server from Odoo. This brings all the advantages of a cloud solution without restricting the functions of the system.
Advantages
- Stress-free hosting via Odoo
- Complete freedom of action in customization
- Installation of third-party modules and interfaces
- Creation of multiple environments within Odoo
- Preconfigured connections make configuration easier
- Complete control over the server
- Detailed list: > Odoo.sh FEATURES <
Disadvantages
- No control over the server hardware
- No other instances can be hosted on the server (such as an additional PHP web server)
PRICING: Odoo offers a transparent cost model where you can view your expenses in different constellations at any time. The number of workers, as well as the staging environments and the potential storage space in GB can be configured individually.
On-Premise
With on-premise hosting, Odoo is installed locally on a server owned by the company. This also comes with all the advantages and disadvantages of having your own hardware and maintenance costs.
Advantages
- Complete control over hardware and configuration
- Greatest freedom of action when customizing Odoo
- Large amounts of data can be transferred locally faster than in the cloud
Disadvantages
- Acquisition and maintenance costs for hardware
- The stability of the server is your own responsibility
- Upgrade and migration processes must be individually adapted to the system
PRICING: We cannot provide any general information on this. The costs vary depending on availability and IT know-how in the company.
