01Can Odoo Helpdesk replace Zendesk for a mid-sized support team?
Yes, for most B2B and internal helpdesk use cases. Odoo gives you SLA, escalation, knowledge base, portal, and CSAT at a fraction of Zendesk's per-seat cost. Where Zendesk wins: highly customized chatbot flows, very high-volume B2C consumer support (10K+ tickets/day), and the AppExchange-equivalent marketplace.
02Does Odoo Helpdesk support SLA tracking?
Yes. SLA policies by ticket type, priority, customer tier, and team. Breach alerts, escalation workflows, and SLA performance reporting per agent and per team. Multi-clock SLAs (first response vs. resolution) supported.
03How does Odoo handle a public knowledge base?
Knowledge base articles can be public, internal, or customer-portal-only. Articles attached to tickets share solutions with customers. Search uses Odoo's full-text index; we've also integrated Algolia for high-traffic public KBs.
04Can customers see their tickets via a portal?
Yes. Branded customer portal with their tickets, invoices, sales orders, and subscriptions. Single sign-on (SSO) supported via SAML or OAuth for enterprise customers.
