Combines consolidations, planning, and forecasting into a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple products and streamlining data management

There's always stuff on the drawing board, and there's an arms race going on in the AI space. It's too soon to pick a winner between OneStream and Oracle. OneStream's smaller, so maybe they're more nimble, but Oracle has more resources. AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet. The other thing is that there are probably little things in the UI and overall processes that could be made easier to use. But there's nothing so consequential that it ruins your experience. It's more about tweaking and streamlining certain processes within the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."

"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 roll-up potential of the product is very good, meaning we have detailed information and we want it to be summarized, based on geography, based on different product lines, or based on different charts of accounts in the general ledger. It rolls up the information in a very concise way. This makes it easy to understand the overall performance, for it's forecasting aspects, or quarterly reporting, year to year, or month to month reporting."

"One can see that it's a mature product because it addresses all the requirements that you must need for financial consolidation and for budgeting and planning. It's really easy to use."

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

"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 is easy to use. It is very intuitive. Even though there is a lot of functionality that comes out of the box, you can customize the solutions to meet your needs. You have the ability to have business rules that produce all kinds of calculations. We're international, and we do all our FX conversions through that."

"Scalability isn't a problem for Hyperion."

"The scalability is good."

"I rate the overall solution nine out of ten."

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."

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

"The most important aspect for improvement is the time efficiency when handling large databases."

"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."

"All the planning systems out there are great. It doesn't matter which company you use. They're all great. I've seen demonstrations on a number of them, but it all boils down to the culture within the organization itself to use that functionality, understand it, and help drive it. I've had Oracle salespeople do demonstrations, and it looked really good. We get it on board, and everybody still sticks to their Excel spreadsheets because companies are a lot more complex than what you could deliver on the planning system. So, there should be more education on the capabilities, and there should be more understanding of organizations in terms of the way they access the data in order to plan."

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

"I have not seen return on investment from using Oracle Hyperion."

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

"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."

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."

"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."

"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."

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

"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."

"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."

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

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