It has everything you need in one reporting accounting expense tracking definitely a value for your money. Cons If I could dislike one thing about mainstream, it would probably be the price. I find the price in my opinion just a little bit steep however it is definitely a great value for your money. Review Source RK Robert K. International Accountant Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream's Ease of Use" June 5, 2019 5.0 The things that we wanted in a consolidation platform is ease of use, a company that takes initiative to update the product, and something that will help with our consolidation/reporting. OneStream solves all these problems and we are very happy with our investment in OneStream. Pros The thing that I like most about the software is that it is very easy to get data out of the system. You can use quickviews, cubeviews, dashboards, books, the options are endless. Once you have these items set up, it takes seconds to produce your monthly financials or inquire on data. Cons The thing that I liked least about the software was the difficulty of dashboards. I spent a good while trying to figure out an Executive homepage in the older versions. With v5.0 and going forward, it looks like this will be simple from the presentations at Splash. Reason for choosing OneStream We chose OneStream over Hyperion because our consultant who worked with us in regards to Hyperion heard about OneStream and told us that was the way of the future. He did not lead us astray since most of the consultants and leaders of OneStream are from a Hyperion/UpStream background. Review Source VT Vianney T. Staff Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A robust solution for advanced needs" July 23, 2026 5.0 Pros Very good performance for processing financial data. Efficient centralization and reduction of errors through automation. Cons Fairly high cost, especially for small organizations. Implementation is long and often requires technical support. Review Source MU Mayuri U. Associate Engineer IT -Finance IT Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "OneStream Review" November 15, 2022 3.0 Pros cubeview, business Rule , dashboards , spreadsheet Cons In OneStream ,like creating dashboards added components depend on requirement .and creating spreadsheet using table view /Cube view .

I do my job better and have more dat thanks to OS. Pros Integration with our previous data was manageable. Customer support was made easy and efficient. Data visualization is awesome. I can understand our company better as undestanding the daily volatility of the company has been made easier to measure and better to predict future circumstances. Cons Probably what took the most amount of time was the integration with our ERP. Alternatives considered [Board](https://www.capterra.com/p/73473/BOARD/) Reason for choosing OneStream From day one the company looked fresh, up to date, new, and it felt like it was advancing towards future trends quicker than its competition.

The users only use 1 system, there is only 1 admin maintaining all these functional requirements. Pros It's a platform, the consolidation, reporting, data integration is included. But there are also marketplace solutions (apps that you can download) to implement e.g. IFRS16. All from the same user experience. Cons Since it is a platform it has a steep learning curve. Since everything is possible its hard to balance between the ultimate solution and project budget/ timelines. Alternatives considered [Anaplan](https://www.capterra.com/p/129412/Anaplan/) Reason for choosing OneStream Anaplan is more a point solution for planning (and IFRS16) but not for consolidation Review Source LJ Lyn J. Senior Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OneStream - Review" April 18, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with OneStream has been very positive, the system has great functions and detailed reports for year end accounting. Pros What I liked about OneStream was there was an excess of features and reports that made accounting and reporting much simpler. Cons The only issue I had with OneStream is that it is not designed for small businesses, it is more heavily geared towards larger business with the price point. Review Source JS Jack S. Finance Director Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OneStream Review" January 26, 2026 5.0 OneStream is a robust solution for financial consolidation, planning, and reporting. It supports complex financial structures and ensures data consistency across reporting cycles. Pros The platform centralizes financial data and reduces manual adjustments. Consolidation and forecasting processes are more controlled and reliable, which is critical at an executive level. Cons Initial setup and configuration require time and expertise. User training is necessary to fully leverage advanced functionalities. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior associate Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for data once mastered " September 13, 2025 4.0 Pros The ability to analyze and update data sets at a very large scale. Also, its ability to customize the data you want to interact with. Cons The UI was initially overwhelming to a new user but over time became more easy to navigate with training. Review Source NS Nikkolai S. Real Estate Salesperson Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "OneStream Review" December 23, 2024 5.0 Yet it is one of the best platforms in doing finance for your company such as when it comes to accounting, billing, budgeting and employee payroll. Pros The app has it all when it comes to doing the job for financial planning. Cons Some features of the app may not be well understood for others especially for the beginners. Review Source MG Michael G. Senior Director Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream Platform Review" August 30, 2021 5.0 Pros The platform approach for a unified financial service offering. Cons It is a relatively new offering on the market (about 10 years old) and best practices are still being developed. Managing change across an organization to make the switch can be an obstacle for some organizations, accepting change. Review Source JM Jacqueline M. Senior Consolidations and Financial Reporting Analyst Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Began as a user, now I'm an implementer." July 6, 2020 5.0 At Prince we implemented quite a few OneStream solutions. The great thing about this product is that it is all on one Platform. You don't have to purchase multiple software licenses because this software does it all. I loved working with the software so much that I left my position at Prince to pursue a career in OneStream software implementation. I went to my first OneStream conference and definitely drank the Kool-Aid. Everything about this company and product made me want to get more and more involved. I love how OneStream is constantly working on improvements the better meet their customers' needs. Pros This software completely revolutionized the Consolidation and Financial Reporting process. When I first started working at Prince, they were finishing up the OneStream implementation. The timing couldn't have been better for me. When I reviewed the prior months excel workbook used for consolidations and currency translations, it was such a nightmare. I had to open up to 10 workbooks just for the values to show up. Each of those workbooks took what felt like forever to open and would often freeze up my entire computer. Cons There were times that we would provide data to various members of the organization. Often times they would want to pivot on the detail provided. It would have been great if the row dimension type would show up on the same row as the column headers to make for easier pivoting and filtering. Other than that, this software was a God Send.

June 5, 2019 5.0 As a user for just under two years, the overall experience I've had with the software and the team has been exceptional. And this extends to the user community as well -- it was amazing the number of times I heard "welcome to the family!" during the user-conference, but I definitely felt that way! While focused primarily on consolidations and part profitability, we have big plans to further expand OneStream to allow stronger analytics in guiding us towards future growth and profitability. Pros The software is very intuitive and easy-to-use, but the ability to expand into different organizational "needs" is facilitated by a company that is willing to listen to the needs of their customers, and respond quickly to put those needs into production! From basic consolidations, tracking of capital expenditures & headcount, and strategic planning modules (among many others!), OneStream XF gives users the ability to address their immediate needs while giving them capabilities for future expansion. Cons As more of an "end user" on the financial side (not I.T.), the only issue I faced was the speed of consolidating data. But note that this is based on a previous version of the software, with the newest release (based on the Splash! user-conference in May 2019) having addressed some of this issue. Another example of the company's willingness to listen and respond! Review Source KKS Kishore Kumar S. Assistant Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream application review" March 14, 2023 5.0 All the functions are really a new experience and to the trend to market this is the best tool with lots of information deep inside available for One Stream admin and users. Pros Forms, cube views, origin, fx rates, dashboard. Cons Not so user friendly or to keep in mind simple process options to proceed. Review Source NW Nathan W. Manager - Global Consolidations & Reporting Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream XF" June 5, 2019 4.0 Overall, OneStream has provided a significant benefit to our company. It's a simple, dynamic tool that provides a good end-user experience. It has helped us to speed up our close process and provides great analytical tools for users. Pros From an administrator point of view, the software is extremely flexible and for the most part does not require computer language skills. Almost any report can be created and shown in different ways. The software is extremely dynamic and provides a positive end-user experience if built out correctly. Cons There have been a few minor bugs(Account Reconciliation Manager). While the end-user experience is great for most users, it is difficult to implement on a large scale (100+ users, frequent turnover) due to training. Every application is different, so general training documents are not always applicable. Pulling activity instead of balances is possible, but seems to have caused a few headaches as it's not common. Review Source PL Philip L. EPM specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "system with many possibilities and great flexibility" January 27, 2022 4.0 We are an expanding company and Onestream helps in streamlining the reporting process. Pros System has many possibilities to meet reporting needs. Cons Due to its many possibilities and flexibility it is also a bit complex when you need to troubleshoot. Review Source RC Ruben C. Consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Next Step in Finance!" September 16, 2021 5.0 Pros OneStream is a solution for more then just one part of the finance department, it really optimises the total department. Cons I think it should be HTML based for a better use on mobile devices. Review Source PO Phillip O. Accounting Systems Manager Building Materials Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OneStream is AWESOME!!" June 5, 2019 5.0 Consolidations. Intercompany is a breeze compared to Hyperion. Pros All your data is in one place and you add programs on to the initial installation. For instance, setup OneStream for Actuals and Consolidations and adding Account Reconciliation is just add an app from the store. No separate set of licenses or copying data from one program to another. Cons More training offered. I'm not able to find much of any classes offered locally for reporting or calculations. Most of the training has to be done at headquarters and I haven't found a reporting training class anywhere. Reason for choosing OneStream I wasn't here when the decision was made, but I think it was mainly the ability to add apps onto the existing installation instead of having to pay for a separate set of licenses and maintain multiple databases.

Principal Consultant- IT Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream FP&A Experience" December 6, 2022 4.0 Pros Can be customized as per client/ customer requirement Cons Too much coding is required some time for simple dashboards. Review Source GA Gidon A. Director Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One-Stop-Shop for Finance Organizations" July 28, 2020 5.0 OneStream brings all the information to the finance users. It makes it easier for them to do their jobs, be it close the books, prepare the budget, forecast or analyze the data. OneStream does it all! Pros Flexibility - This software can do everything you can think of. Cons The standard documentation is not detailed enough for advanced users. Reason for choosing OneStream Flexibility, features, support and vision. Review Source AN Andreas N. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Owner" November 17, 2020 5.0 It is been a great journey so far Pros The platform concept that enables companies to have multiple solutions in a single app. Cons The required initial setup is very important. Reason for choosing OneStream platform Review Source CW Christopher W. Manager, Financial Analysis Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The future is OneStream" June 5, 2019 5.0 Pros I love the forward-looking approach that OneStream has taken with the software. Rather than standing pat on what is already a solid foundation, the team is constantly seeking out the next challenge they can tackle with enhancements. Cons I found there was a steep learning curve on the implementation work I performed with OneStream. There is not a lot of widely-available information on how to develop in the tool beyond the company's own documentation. A broader community would make it easier for tech-savvy users to better support their own implementations. Review Source SK Salman K. Sr. Corporate Accountant Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OneStream XF Review" May 6, 2020 5.0 We are currently using OneStream for consolidation, budgeting/forecasting, cash flows, account reconciliations, and external/internal reporting. Pros The ability to report off of, budget, forecast, analyze, and reconcile to the same set of base data is valuable for streamlining our processes. Cons Cube view and report building has a steep learning curve for finance individuals. Review Source KJ Kevin J. Finance Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OS for APC" June 5, 2019 5.0 GREAT FOR MONTHLY CLOSE AND CREATING ADHOC REPORTS Pros FLEXIBILITY, EASE OF USE, LOTS OF TIE OUTS / DOUBLE CHECKS BUILT IN Cons SOMETIMES TOO MANY OPTIONS - CAN BE CONFUSING TO MAKE CHANGES Review Source KS Karrie S. Manager, Financial Systems & Processes Mining & Metals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One stop shop" June 5, 2019 4.0 We are currently migrating over from a Hyperion environment with 3 HFM applications and 2 planning applications - we have gone live with our new fiscal year plan and will be live with actuals in August for our new fiscal year to close the books. Pros Consolations, planning , account rec etc all with one source of metadata management Cons Planning side could use some more enhancements Reason for choosing OneStream One stop shop / no data migration from one tool to another Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
