- Comprehensive Content: The course offers everything needed to deploy Odoo on AWS, according to some users. (Several reviews)
Cons
- Outdated Content: Some recent versions of Odoo (e.g., Odoo 13) are not well supported by the course material, which is outdated and missing critical updates such as SSL configuration and domain connection methods.
- Platform-Specific Issues: There are reports of compatibility issues with different operating systems, particularly for Mac users connecting to EC2 instances via SSH. (Reviews from users who encountered problems)
- Potential for Confusion: Some users found the pace of the video tutorials too fast, and the course occasionally includes code pasting without full context or explanation. (Reviews from users who desired more clarity)
- External Resource Dependency: Users have noted that completing the course requires additional external research, which can be a drawback if expecting a comprehensive learning experience within the course alone.
- Potential for Frustration: Some users experienced significant challenges, such as connection refusals when using SSH on Mac and the lack of clear resolution for certain issues, like autostart scripts not working with newer versions of Odoo.
Additional Considerations
- Course Evolution: Despite its strengths, it's important to note that the course seems to have been created for a previous version of Odoo (Odoo 9) and may require additional effort to apply its lessons to more recent versions like Odoo 10 or later.
- Instructor Expertise: The instructor is acknowledged as knowledgeable, but it appears that the course content has not been updated to reflect changes in Odoo and AWS since the release of Odoo 10.
- Community and Enterprise Differences: A reviewer pointed out the lack of explanation regarding the differences between Community and Enterprise versions of Odoo, which could be important for users considering either version for their deployment.
Conclusion
The course is overall well-received and can serve as a valuable resource for deploying Odoo on AWS, with some caveats regarding its applicability to newer versions of Odoo. Users are encouraged to utilize external resources and be prepared for potential compatibility issues with the most current versions of Odoo. For users specifically interested in Odoo 9 or willing to adapt the course content for newer versions, this course can still offer a solid learning foundation. It is recommended that users looking for the most up-to-date guidance consider seeking out courses tailored to their specific version of Odoo or those that have been recently updated.
