Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

Oracle HFM and OneStream XF are competing in the enterprise performance management platform market, particularly focused on financial consolidation and reporting. OneStream XF is seen as having the upper hand due to its unified approach and flexibility, which contributes to greater feature satisfaction compared to Oracle HFM's traditional capabilities.

Features: Oracle HFM provides comprehensive financial management capabilities, robust consolidation processes, and advanced reporting functionalities. OneStream XF offers a unified platform that integrates multiple financial processes, enhances agility, and adapts to diverse financial functions seamlessly. The flexibility to extend financial functionalities clearly sets OneStream XF apart.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle HFM requires extensive on-premise installations, making its deployment more complex and time-consuming. In contrast, OneStream XF's cloud-based nature enables faster setup and easier adjustments. Regarding customer service, OneStream XF earns positive feedback for responsiveness, while Oracle HFM's service is respected but doesn't match the adaptability and speed of OneStream XF.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle HFM's on-premise model results in significant upfront costs, potentially affecting the ROI timeline. On the other hand, OneStream XF, despite an initially higher price tag, achieves faster ROI through efficient deployment and operational efficiencies. OneStream XF provides a favorable cost-performance balance through effective implementation and broader functionality.

Chief Revenue Officer at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Combines consolidations, planning, and forecasting into a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple products and streamlining data management

There's always stuff on the drawing board, and there's an arms race going on in the AI space. It's too soon to pick a winner between OneStream and Oracle. OneStream's smaller, so maybe they're more nimble, but Oracle has more resources. AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet. The other thing is that there are probably little things in the UI and overall processes that could be made easier to use. But there's nothing so consequential that it ruins your experience. It's more about tweaking and streamlining certain processes within the system.

Offers flexibility and ease of configuration

The initial setup of Oracle HFM is generally straightforward and not overly complex. The deployment time for Oracle HFM varies with the resources, but it usually takes around three to eight months, with an average of three to four months. The deployment process for Oracle HFM involves several key steps. It begins with the installation of Oracle software, followed by gathering requirements and relevant documents. These documents help define the report formats and service needs. Next, the team configures the system, starting with the enterprise structure, which needs to align with the ERP system. Data loading and configuration follow, with Oracle HFM typically requiring more resources compared to other systems like SuccessFactors.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."

"We were with Oracle previously. With Oracle, you have to buy a different piece of software for every business process. If you want to do budgeting, that's a product. If you want to do consolidation, that's a product. If you want to do BI type of work, that's yet another product. So, you end up buying a lot of software from Oracle. With OneStream, it is a little different. It is a platform where you can do all those things, and you can do them with just one software purchase and then you just pay for users on it."

"It offers great ease of use. This impacts not only the end-user experience but also the administrator's, which affects the total cost of ownership."

"You can bring in data from any source and from multiple sources, and you can consolidate that data in HFM."

"Financial consolidation and reporting tool with good built-in features such as currency exchange and elimination."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable features are around consolidations, eliminations, conversions."

"It is an expensive product but delivers what it promises, ensuring regulatory compliance, reducing risks associated with spreadsheets, and providing a better return on investment based on usage."

"The tool is stable."

"It is a very user-friendly software."

"The most valuable feature is the flexibility and ease of configuration in terms of testing and formula creation."

Cons

"We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it."

"AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet."

"Currently, they only support one browser, and it would be good if you could use it on Chrome, Firefox, etc. It is a little frustrating that you can only use a certain Microsoft browser. They're pretty tightly aligned with Microsoft. So, I can see the reasons for it."

"It's a difficult process to try to edit, configure, or change the business rules that exist and work within HFM."

"The solution has integration challenges. We need a simple tool that is fool-proof for the data that is submitted not only for consolidation purposes but also for performance management and reporting purposes."

"The complexity is okay. I don't see it as super complex. The solution could have more functionality to make it a little bit more flexible."

"In terms of improvement, one challenge with Oracle HFM is the need for technical knowledge in writing SQL syntax for custom extensions."

"Improvements can be made by possibly different interfaces to modernize it, more automation in scripting, and better integration with third-party solutions and reporting capabilities."

"The intercompany reporting function in this tool needs improvement, particularly being able to run reports in batches, rather than one at a time."

"Integration is an area where it lacks and can be improved."

"If there could be data integration between HFM and the accounting software that would be ideal."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is expensive."

"They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."

"The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."

"Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) uses the named user licensing model. There's different pricing depending on HFM and Essbase planning."
