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.

Empower financial planning with user-friendly and robust features

The best features of Oracle Hyperion revolve around their cloud-based technology, which is gradually moving to cloud solutions such as EPMCSG, while Anaplan uses two engines for calculations, the classic engine and the Essbase engine. Anaplan allows for quick module changes, where adjustments in one module reflect throughout the user experience. In contrast, Oracle Hyperion relies on Essbase as a database with calculation scripts and business rules, and it incorporates Smart View technology for Excel connections, providing a familiar interface for users. Oracle Hyperion is fundamentally a good technology and does not require significant improvements compared to other technologies because it is user-friendly and offers several advantages in financial reporting and consolidation. However, I have observed that Anaplan has built-in UX pages for report preparation, unlike Oracle Hyperion, which often relies on third-party tools such as Hyperion Financial Reporting and Power BI for reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"Since it is an enterprise-capable solution, people are not worried about security, giving data, the ability to manage complex consolidation, and its ability to modify reporting."

"It has reduced the amount of paperwork as multiple people can work on a single form, centralize formula creation window (only one person/team is responsible for creating it), It is also possible to maintain history for X number of years, and compare budgets from previous years through just one form and the process of workflow management."

"It's basically the same as the other budgeting solutions."

"We're able to support fifteen to twenty countries globally from Cincinnati, and they can do all their consolidation on our one HFM application."

"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."

"The implementation has been simplified now that it's deployed in the cloud. Also, Hyperion is tightly integrated with Oracle products because Oracle owns it now."

"The ease of use and the integration with our business are the most valuable features."

"Hyperion has made our budgeting process and forecast analysis easy and robust, and it is a reliable tool."

Cons

"There are longstanding challenges with OneStream XF, particularly around the technical aspects that require scripting skills, typically managed by finance departments."

"It's okay for collecting information and setting it up, but for business support, we don't get much from 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."

"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 is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert."

"This solution's stability is a little problematic."

"I don't think that this product needs any improvement for now."

"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures."

"Their documentation could be a little bit more descriptive at places. They don't really do a lot of How-Tos because that gets pushed through to the consulting groups. There have been some books. There is a real good one out there about how to look smarter than you are with Hyperion Planning that some people at a company called ArganoInterRel wrote. Those things do exist, but that's not in their documentation. It's basically like they'll say, "This is the field. This is what it's used for," but they don't tell you how to particularly use it in your case environment."

"We still have issues and bugs because it's a new release."

"Oracle should have provided better documentation, and should update it more often."

"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."

More Oracle Hyperion cons

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."

"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."

"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."

"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."

"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."

"We pay for licensing yearly."

"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."

"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."

"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
