Should I use the official Odoo upgrade service?
+
Yes, if you run Odoo Enterprise with little or no custom code: it is included with your subscription. Choose a full-service upgrade when you have custom or third-party modules, run Community, or need someone to own testing and go-live.
Is OpenUpgrade a good option?
+
OpenUpgrade is a valuable community project for Odoo Community upgrades. It works best for teams with in-house Odoo developers who can cover module gaps, port custom code and build their own validation.
