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.

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 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. Review Source MR Marc R. consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream for both Consolidation as IFRS16" August 26, 2020 5.0 OneStream is now the central platform for reporting, consolidation and IFRS16. 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 KC Keith C. BI / Financial systems Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OneStream software - Conversion From Hyperion HFM/FDM/Planning" June 5, 2019 5.0 We were forced to make a platform decision by ORACLE, timing was not good from an operational standpoint. We are 6 months in to an 11 month project to go live replacing our Hyperion environment.We are extremely pleased so far with the quality of the product, the quality and speed of support and relatively low overhead to support. All projects this size have pain involved with change management, but thankfully, the software we chose is helping ease that pain, not enhance it. Pros \-Ease and simplicity of software architecture implementation and design -One Product for multiple purposes. -Long term expansion capability on one platform -Win10 app access -There is no comparison with the amount of time, effort and money it took to support and maintain the Hyperion environment. Install took less than 2 hrs. Comparable Hyperion install took weeks to get working Cons \- Dashboarding can be simplified a bit - powerful, but a bit cumbersome to get started and understand Alternatives considered [Anaplan](https://www.capterra.com/p/129412/Anaplan/) Reason for choosing OneStream Customer references and testimonials. Ease of use, quality of support. Long term growth possibilities to expand the use of the software on one platform from the marketplace Professional low pressure sales team, product sells itself 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 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 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 VA Vanisha A. Human Resources Specialist Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Product" December 16, 2024 5.0 The program is worth the money. It serves a great purpose when managing budgets and reporting data and forecasting. Pros The software helps our company make better financial decisions. Cons Nothing I love it! It is very east to use and comes up with solutions fast. Review Source LLK Luvo Luke K. Managing Director Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An excellent software!" September 2, 2022 4.0 OneStream simplifies many business and accounting tasks saving a lot of money. Pros I loved its Asset Planning and Balance Sheets components. Cons There’s no free trial for new users to test drive the product. Review Source OD Oksana D. Financial Planning Supervisor Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Planning Implemenation" June 5, 2019 5.0 The experience had been one of learning and embracing the new solution. Pros The software is a unified CPM platform and it's up to the customer to implement the variety of solutions which are included. The features, functionalities and cost structure (overall cost and licenses) were the main advantages for us and why we moved forward with OneStream. At the current moment we have only implemented the Planning solution, along with a daily revenue solution and a profitability solution. The customer service from the OneStream support team cannot be matched. The upgrade process is seamless and requires little or no work on our part (we are in the cloud). Cons It was a learning experience and took time for us to get used to the differences between Hyperion and OneStream. We were used to the various excel functionalities in SmartView which the OneStream Addin did not offer when we first started the implementation. But we were happy to see that OneStream listened to our suggestions for improvements and included them in upcoming releases. Overall, we are happy with our decision and look forward to implementing other solutions. In addition, we partnered with Archetype Consulting and they have been wonderful in guiding us through the implementation, transition and training processes. Review Source OC Oscar C. IT Solution Manager Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Onstream from IT perspective" September 22, 2022 5.0 Overall is a great software definitely an industry leader in Finance software. Pros The technology is great the seamless integration with excel is one of the most liked features in Onestream from the user's feedback along with consolidations, reports, etc. Cons no that i dislike but the performance some times is a concern. Alternatives considered [Oracle Hyperion Planning](https://www.capterra.com/p/233326/Oracle-Hyperion-Planning/) Reason for choosing OneStream Technology easy concepts and workflows Review Source KC Kathryn C. Lead Systems Analyst Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One application that does it all" June 5, 2019 5.0 Pros OneStream is the most flexible platform I've worked with that enables customers to extend it for an infinite number of uses. The number of solutions that can be built using the platform is unlimited, and the MarketPlace is growing with new solutions all the time. We have a large number of niche applications, each performing a specific purpose, but with OneStream we are already seeing that we can migrate from those other niche software systems to one unified and integrated platform. We are excited to see where we'll go with OneStream XF, and we're especially excited for the new BI dashboarding tools that are currently in development. Cons The only downside to OneStream XF that I've encountered is with scheduling - reports, integrations, etc. While a couple of solutions are available (Postal Service, Powershell scripts) it would be nice to have an integrated scheduling tool accessible within the app via a frontend dashboard or other page so we could manage the scheduling and distribution of reports. The option to push data versus pull data is a big requirement for us; our software users prefer not to have to go looking for data, and the Powershell scripts that we currently use to schedule integrations and file loads are not user friendly. Review Source CM Catherine M. Senior Systems Implementation Lead Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Consolidate without excel" July 17, 2020 5.0 We had the pleasure to have a great developer that was so knowledgeable, available and genuinely interested to follow and support our growth in using OneStream. He made us feel part of the great adventure that will change our ways of reporting. Pros Ease of use and endless customization and development possibilities as your company grows. We have multiple entities in 5 different countries with different currencies and ERP. OneStream's capacity of customizing our translation process to our different operations. We also have non-controlling interests in some entities and again the ability to customize the formulas was a big winning point. Cons The interface look is not modern enough to my taste but nothing major. Reason for choosing OneStream Being in the mining industry, some part of our accounting is particular and the customization that OneStream offers made it the most appealing. Review Source EA Evan A. Senior Associate Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream Partner" March 9, 2022 5.0 Pros I am at a firm that is a diamond partner with OneStream. I am a huge proponent of the tool, and swear by it! Cons A few pain points with OneStream are related to documentation. There is little to no documentation on marketplace solutions at a level that is useful for a consultant to build off of. Review Source MV Michael V. Consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Software out there!" November 10, 2022 5.0 Pros How easy it is to use out of the box and the dimensionality that makes it so versatile Cons There are a few items that could use functionality updates Review Source VD Verina D. data and reporting specialist Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User experience" September 20, 2022 5.0 Pros OneStream is a fantastic product. we make use of capex and people planning at our organization Cons so far very is going well with Onestream Review Source AF Amy F. Direct OneStream Applications Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream checked all the boxes" January 15, 2021 5.0 They are a fantastic company to work with, always looking for the best solution for their customers. They check in periodically to see if the software is meeting needs and how they can support not only the customers, but the user community as a whole. Pros The best feature is the functionality, with minimal implementation. Cons There really isn't anything that I dislike about it. Review Source TC Tonya C. Financial Planning & Reporting Analyst Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AFL - Experience with OneStream" June 5, 2019 5.0 Pros In my personal experience, the greatest advantages we have realized from moving to OneStream have been 1) increased accountability within our business units for financial data, and 2) streamlined processes by having our trial balances, planning, account reconciliations, etc in one place and fully integrated. Cons No real notable disadvantages or problems experienced. Review Source LD Lance D. Finance Analyst Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Onestream findings: Steep hill, but worth the time" February 20, 2020 4.0 It is worth the time, but you will need some to get a good swing at it. Pros \-It is extremely flexible -The community really tries to push forward on development together -Helpful support -Extremely fast Cons \-Hard to learn the advanced usage of the software -Can sometimes feel like a maze of information when an error happens Review Source NW Nicky W. Finance Systems Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Truly integrated Consolidation and Financial Planning" August 4, 2016 5.0 An Analyse & Design phase confirmed our project teams decision to implement OneStream and our application build commenced during summer 2015. We are consolidating in a lot more detail in OneStream and the decision to load a full prior year of data at this level has added time to our data validation stage. Our consolidation and reporting phase is going live August month end following parallel runs and we will then commence the planning functionality design. OneStream is intuitive and user friendly and the OneStream team are always there to support you plus willing to listen to users improvement ideas which they often implement. We have no regrets. Pros This is a truly integrated consolidation and financial planning tool, one piece of software, one set of metadata, one set of data, one set of reports. Cons The lack of customers using it in the UK! Review Source JD Jonathan D. Senior Analyst - Tax Technologies Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream" June 5, 2019 5.0 Pros What I like most is the ability to build the software to our specifications and unique situations. The consistency and standard work produced across all entities allows for control over a process and bringing on new users. As well as the reporting that is generated from the system for management. Cons There is not any one thing that I don't like about the software. There are a lot of features and it just takes time to implement them. Not having more features in our system that are available is what I like least. Review Source JC Jeni C. Accounting Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful tool" September 22, 2020 5.0 This product has changed the way we can create financial reports for the better. We are now able to produce meaningful information for our management team that we previously were incapable of compiling. Pros This tool enables us to consolidate our and third party financial statements with a few clicks of the mouse. This extremely powerful software can build our monthly financial reports and supplementals in a fraction of the time it used to take us. Cons Setting up and changing reports is not an intuitive process, so having a good consultant firm on stand by is a must. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Needed a more powerful platform Review Source CS Cynthia S. Financial Systems Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OneStreamXF " June 5, 2019 5.0 My overall experience with OneStream has been very positive. The customer service is outstanding and OS is always working on improving the product based on customer feedback and needs. Pros The ease of use and entirely customizable platform is what I like most about this software. Cons There really aren't much cons related to this software, it all comes down to how you design the product to fit your corporate needs when implementing.
