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.

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."

"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."

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

"The tool is very scalable and powerful. It helps us with financial reporting and performance reporting. It is a very good tool for consolidation and budgeting. We are dependent on it for reporting."

"The tool's most valuable feature of the solution is flexibility and integration capabilities."

"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."

"Smart View is a really useful tool because we can have a good API with HFM."

"Oracle Hyperion is an advanced analytical calculation engine that can handle aggregation."

"This solution provides a more structured methodology for doing analysis than a tool like Excel. It creates a central database that keeps all information in one place."

"The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."

Cons

"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."

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

"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."

"I would like to see more integrations with third-party vendors such as BigSense and SAP. I'm looking forward to seeing more interface-related content."

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

"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."

"Improvements are needed in the tool's performance."

"From a technical perspective, the technical support could be improved and the price could be reduced."

"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."

"Pricing is a significant concern. After moving to PBCS and EPBCS, the per-user license fees can be reduced, particularly for bulk users."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The licensing is expensive."

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

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

"We pay for licensing yearly."

"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."

"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."

"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
