I tried to get Odoo adopted at my company for about a year but eventually gave up in favor of a paid solution.

The thing is that what you really need to get something like this working is support (by phone, screen sharing etc.), and it came down to two options: either I permanently become Odoo support for everyone else, or we pay someone else to do it. All the companies offering Odoo support are very expensive, so any financial benefits to using Odoo are gone several times over. It was much cheaper to just switch to a paid solution that includes support in the monthly fee.

Besides that, the source code is a mess, so when I tried adding some basic customs functions it was a total headache even for very basic things. For some reason they've built their own front end framework which is clearly inspired by a very old version of React.

My experience as well. In 2018 we used odoo at a startup to avoid using systems like Monday and Jira. By 2019 we were back on those systems. My experience was so sour, that I heard an odoo ad on npr the other day and I didn’t even go back to see what has changed.
