Customer satisfaction and data integration shine in multinational consolidations
The best features of OneStream XF are threefold. The first is Extensible Dimensionality, which allows for different levels of detail depending on the task. When budgeting for 2026, Extensible Dimensionality enables detailed breakdowns of supplies into specific items such as printer paper and magic markers. When actuals arrive, that level of detail isn't necessary. This flexibility in collecting and reporting data is a significant advantage. OneStream XF is advantageous because it provides one product that can do everything. Users do not have to purchase separate products for consolidation, planning, and reporting, which saves time and money in training and setup. OneStream XF shows a strong commitment to customer success. While 100% satisfaction is unrealistic, OneStream XF puts in substantial effort to ensure clients are successful, which contrasts sharply with experiences from companies such as SAP. OneStream XF's data integration capabilities with ERP and HCM systems are excellent, thanks to its history. The founders of OneStream XF were the creators of Upstream, which specialized in data integration. When they developed OneStream XF, they implemented that expertise, making it excel at data integration.

Facilitates timely decision making and enhances reporting efficiency
We are going to re-implement the Oracle Hyperion system due to changes in our chart of account process and some other factors. We were analyzing whether to move to a cloud system, EPM Cloud. We have already proceeded with our Oracle Hyperion re-implementation with the vendor, and it is in the approval process. All options have been evaluated. We have made comparisons between EPM Cloud and Oracle Hyperion. Oracle Hyperion is not too user-friendly. EPM Cloud has more support towards functional users who can generate reports according to their own needs. There are specific reasons why we have not moved to the cloud, such as our various processes including reconciliations. We do not prefer customization in Oracle Hyperion, but due to business needs, there may be a few minimal customizations made. The forms are a bit complex for functional users. To create and open forms is not simple. We need trained personnel, and training is essential to use it efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"OneStream XF's unified structure makes it easier for our financial consolidation and planning processes, though I would say we have a standardized way of using it and not that much forward-looking."
"OneStream XF is advantageous because it provides one product that can do everything; users do not have to purchase separate products for consolidation, planning, and reporting, which saves time and money in training and setup."
"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."
"We're able to support fifteen to twenty countries globally from Cincinnati, and they can do all their consolidation on our one HFM application."
"The most valuable aspect is that the time to market is very fast, and you're able to finish your budgeting cycle in a very quick and fast way with a more detailed analysis."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
"I would always recommend this solution; it is very versatile, it is easy to use, easy to access, and easy to set up."
"One can see that it's a mature product because it addresses all the requirements that you must have for financial consolidation and for budgeting and planning, and it's really easy to use."
"What you really get is data governance and control."
"Hyperion is one of the best tools in the world; we can do planning and forecasting, store and draw large amounts of data in multiple combinations, integrate with any system to pull data from SAP or SQL Server, and design our own role files to control how we pull file data and store it in our database."
 

Cons

"There are longstanding challenges with OneStream XF, particularly around the technical aspects that require scripting skills, typically managed by finance departments."
"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."
"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."
"It's okay for collecting information and setting it up, but for business support, we don't get much from it."
"I think the user interface could be made a bit easier and user-friendly. The initial setup could be easier, and there could be more integration with more ERPs."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
"Sometimes Oracle Hyperion is slow when there are a lot of users using it. However, we can have up to approximately 300 users using it."
"Hyperion is basically a jail and cost center platform where you couldn't budget any different than the rules of what Hyperion is telling you to budget by."
"I would not recommend implementing FDM as it is falling away and will not be supported in the near future."
"The database crashes without any warnings or reasons."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement, but from what I know, they're offering a new reporting package."
"The most important aspect for improvement is the time efficiency when handling large databases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is expensive."
"The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."
"They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"The solution is affordable."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
