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

"Not only has it halved the time it takes to build the annual budget, but the result targets and outputs are much more accurate."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is a steeper learning curve for power users, but Axiom provides outstanding support and training resources."
"There are longstanding challenges with OneStream XF, particularly around the technical aspects that require scripting skills, typically managed by finance departments."
"We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it."
"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."
"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."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for OneStream XF?
My experience with the price has been okay. It's something that, when part of a larger system, we need to use, and there are also some discounts related to our multi-country usage.

I would like to see additional features in the future to make it closer to perfect, such as easier implementation of additional subsystems for forecasting, budgeting, planning analysis, and so fort...
