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.

Features build trust despite occasional server challenges
I tried using the cloud version of Software AG ARIS Process Mining multiple times, and when I connect to the client server and log in to their Software AG ARIS Process Mining, it becomes too slow. I'm not sure if it's a server issue or a Software AG ARIS Process Mining issue. The cloud version becomes quite slow when connecting through tools such as Citrix, which is not the case with IBM. Sometimes I feel there are one or two features that IBM lacks or Signavio lacks, or other tools lack, but clients say that Software AG ARIS Process Mining has everything.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."
"One feature I found really cool was the Conformance Engine."
"The interface is simplified and easy to use."
"I have found Software AG ARIS Process Mining scalable."
"For Software AG ARIS Process Mining, I would rate it number one among whatsoever tools I've used; the reason is the ease of use, and I have not come across a single feature that exists in other tools but is not found in Software AG ARIS Process Mining."
"It is very easy to work on the way the ETL happens in ARIS Process Mining."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten...On a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the setup a nine."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"There are longstanding challenges with OneStream XF, particularly around the technical aspects that require scripting skills, typically managed by finance departments."
"Installation takes too long, and if it goes under maintenance, it remains under maintenance for days."
"When the process models are transferred back to the design environment for further optimization and simulations, we need to see some improvements in the way the models get created in the design."
"Customizing KPIs and building dashboards were not as intuitive as other similar tools."
"There should be a single site for modeling and mining."
"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."
"I guess we have many unnecessary steps within our processes. There is room for automation and room for enhancement within our application portfolio management...In short, I would like to eliminate unnecessary steps in some processes in this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."
"The licensing is expensive."
"The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."
"We pay for a license to use this solution."
"It's highly-priced, so it's not exactly a cheap product...We are getting what we are paying for, so on a scale of one to ten, or one is low, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is based on licenses."
"Looking at the value it gives, ARIS Process Mining's pricing is fair."
