reviewer2759400 - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Financial & ESG Controlling at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Has supported global reporting needs and integrates well with internal systems
The features I find most valuable are the standard ones which we are required to use, as this is a group setup we use worldwide, so the reporting is quite standard. We have integrated OneStream XF with ERP and HCM systems. I mostly value their reporting features. 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. They have helped enhance decision-making with analytics, but I think it's not that supportive. It depends on the use; it's okay for collecting information and setting it up, but for business support, we don't get much from it.

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."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."
"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 ability to budget on individual levels, i.e. by person for payroll, by vehicle for transportation, etc."
"The biggest achievement is that now we do not have to use spreadsheets"
"Words can’t express how much our company benefited from using this product."
"I would say US$80K/year as it has automated the process and saved us from hiring a new analyst."
"Customer Service: It's excellent."
"The time saved by building variables to drive accounts inside the budgeting system, along with balancing accounts to spread increases or decreases based on different accounts or versions, more than makes up for the pricing of the software."
"Easy to use Rich functionality Complete corporate performance management solution Based on modern technology Cloud-ready All of them allow me to manage my business."
"It has enabled us to cut the budgeting process by 50% as well as making the budgets more acute."
 

Cons

"AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet."
"We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it."
"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."
"It's okay for collecting information and setting it up, but for business support, we don't get much from it."
"With the report writing there are some issues."
"Discovery was not in depth enough for our deployment to be successful – we had a lot of problems and had to take short-cuts due to a lack of planning."
"The user interface could be improved as it is not an intuitive product for every type of user."
"Areas where you load your CapEx still need a lot of improvements. The Excel add-in is not as good as Hyperions."
"I think the mobile capabilities could be improved."
"The Microsoft multidimensional cubes does have several disadvantages in write back solutions which results in poor performance."
"The process speed and integration with sources of transaction detail needs work."
"BI analytics Few related Ad Hoc Analyses in one window Sorting and filtering in Data View"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."
"The licensing is expensive."
"They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."
