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 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 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 . Review Source eI edelmiro I. CEO Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Vima - OS" April 20, 2022 5.0 Great tool. I sincerely recommend it to all. 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 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 DD Dieuwke D. Business Process Manager R2R Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review from a satisfied Onestream user!" October 25, 2022 4.0 Very good! Pros The easyness to use and to create and implement. Changes can easily be done. Cons The capacity. With many users using the system at the same time (moment in the close) the system can act slow. Reason for choosing OneStream Combination price quality and product alignment with Oracle Cloud (use of API and reconciliation). Switched from [Oracle Hyperion Planning](https://www.capterra.com/p/233326/Oracle-Hyperion-Planning/) The need for digital innovation! Review Source SL Scott L. Assistant Controller Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OneStream exceeds expectations" August 3, 2016 5.0 Dril-Quip reviewed several different products over a 2.5 year period to analyze the best product to suit the Company's current requirements and the ability to be fluid as it grows. OneStream's ability to provide one solution for consolidations, eliminations, reporting, forecasting, budgeting, complex data analytics, and various other items without having to manage data integration between multiple products and data points was a key driver in Dril-Quip's decision to move from an Excel environment to OneStream. The software also provides these functions at half the cost of some of it's competitors. The design and implementation were relatively pain-free and enabled us to meet a quick 6 month go-live target. Any instances in which road blocks were encountered were well handled and a work around provided in a timely manner. OneStream's Customer Support team routinely answered questions within 24 hours of asking a question and in most cases within the hour. The software itself is easy to use such that the end user training was taught by Dril-Quip's administrator and back-up over a 3 day period of train the trainer. Users were a combination of individuals that had never used a similar product and those that had used market leaders. The users caught on quickly to the software due to its ease of use and step by step intuitive processes such that they were uploading, validating, and certifying data by the end of the first day of training. OneStream's training for Administrators and end users is thorough where little assistance if any assistance is needed after go-live. Further, there are extensions of the product such as people planning and account reconciliations that OneStream provides as part of the single license fee which reduce the need for additional software to perform those tasks. Reducing that need enables the Company to be lean in both IT and Finance functions as it is creating more efficient processes. Dril-Quip has been very pleased with the overall quality of the product. Pros \-Ease of Use -Managing the metadata is intuitive -Multiple uses for the application without bolting on additional applications and data integration points -Good controls and audit trails Review Source BC Brian C. Financial Systems Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream XF for Consolidations" June 5, 2019 5.0 We replaced our Hyperion Enterprise system with OneStream. It was a huge win, adding workflow and validation checks to the system that we never had in the past. Data quality is improved and the system itself is rock-solid. Zero down time. Upgrades have never taken more than 2 hours. Support, when you have a question, is very, very fast. Partnering with OneStream was a great move for JLL. Pros Ease of use. This product requires minimal training for end users and the end user training can be embedded in the application, so they can watch a video of how to perform a task and then execute the task. Because workflow is built into the product, again, the end user simply goes through the workflow to complete their work. The Excel Add-in is again, easy to use. Because our users were familiar with Hyperion HPVAL formulas in Excel, the transition to OneStream's add-in was seamless. Cons This is a tough question because there is not anything I can think of that the software is unable to do or does not do well. The one thing that would be a nice to have is the ability to lock down exchange rates to prevent anyone from accidentally changing a rate. Review Source DH Dean H. Group Reporting Manager Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic Consolidation Tool With Plenty More To Offer" May 13, 2020 5.0 Onestream has undoubtedly exceeded our expectations following initial implementation to manage our complex financial consolidation for statutory accounting and regulatory reporting. The breath of capability and scope of future use is causing real excitement across the wider finance function, and Onestream's flexibility is going to be a real asset to the organisation moving forward. Pros Onestream's flexibility in terms of metadata structures as well as data integrity controls via for example their unique flow dimension are fantastic. In addition the ability to seamlessly integrate with underlying data sources and systems is invaluable for us as a decentralised organisation with many different systems and processes used by our subsidiaries. Cons During and indeed following implementation its been very difficult to find any fault with the Onestream software and its integration to our business processes. Some functionality is very specific to the software and requires training, but the extensive Onestream Academy (free of charge) and the paid for formal courses have alleviated any issues in this regard. In addition the support provided to us during the implementation by Onestream themselves has been fantastic. Review Source KP Khirod P. Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All on One SaaS platform for CPM/EPM Unified and integrated modeling" October 8, 2021 5.0 Pros Flexibility Agility and Customer Support Dashboarding and Reporting Analytic Blend Business Rule and power of API integration Data Integration and Transformation Out of the box Market place solutions like ACM, ARM, Task Scheduler , Security Audit etc Cons Extensible Dimensionality Metadata Management and Utility to Automation of Metadata Build Alternatives considered [Anaplan](https://www.capterra.com/p/129412/Anaplan/) Review Source JC Jamie C. Director of Accounting Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent multi-currency financial consolidation software" August 1, 2016 5.0 We were looking to replace a legacy system that was no longer going to be supported by its giant software company owner. Based on the experience we had we that company, we knew we did not want to use another of their packages. We chose OneStream based on functionality, product demonstration, price, references and pedigree of its developers. Pros It does so much. Every time I think I can't do something in OneStream, the consultants figure out how to get it done. It does more than I can possibly conceive. I do not spend a lot of time and money maintaining OneStream. The software upgrades are very fast (about a half an hour) and usually do not require any consultant time. I also like that if I do have a problem or a question, I can submit a support ticket and receive a quick response. Their customer service is far superior to what I'm used to with the giant software company that I dealt with before. Cons Because it's different from any software I've ever used, it took some getting used to. Definitely not an issue now. Review Source CB Carmen B. Global FPA Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream is by far the top CPM tool out there" June 2, 2022 5.0 Pros It's vast capabilities of reporting, ease of use, BI Blend, Dashboarding and excel. Cons There is so much we can do it's difficult what to select first. Review Source DT Diane T. Senior Financial Analyst Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OneStream is second to none" June 5, 2019 5.0 Pros Going into my Administrator role, I did not have a background in IT or systems administration but rather experience in Finance and Accounting. OneStream is designed with not only the end user in mind but the Administrator. There isn't a heavy reliance on SQL/VB.Net unless there are significant changes or requests from the business. The reference guide and Knowledge Based articles are also very helpful in teaching me about the system. The customer support is second to none in that they reply within an hour and are helpful in resolving issues and/or answering questions. Cons I would say a simplification in managing security would be helpful. In addition, there should be a way to implement security to prevent system administrators from seeing sensitive information in People Planning. Review Source NA Nicolas A. Consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneStream pros and cons" January 12, 2021 5.0 Pros Tea or Coffee? Well... i want both... It is the same for OneStream. You always have the choice to implement a solution the way YOU want. It starts with asking you if you prefer being on premises or in the cloud. You have the choice! Cons One of its strongest point can be also a weak one : Anything can be done with OneStream but that means that a lot of configuration needs to be done in some cases! Review Source PG Paul G. Group Head of IT Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Strong and Encompassing" December 20, 2022 5.0 The support and guidance given by OneStream project team and their associated resellers is immense. what is a complex integration and implementation project is made easier by their support and the shear volume of KB articles and community. Pros Once you get your head around the multiple facets to this system, you'll wonder how you lived without it. Its exactly what you need from a financial consolidation and reporting system. Cons the amount of work you need to put it to learn and understand the system is immense, but you'll only get out what you put in. Reason for choosing OneStream OneStream was recommended by a number of independent third parties and each couldn't fault the product or company. Review Source RV Rob V. Senior consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Share the data model " September 15, 2020 5.0 Pros Sharing dimensions like accounts, entities and management details across multiple purposes empowers the flexibility and “one version of the truth” Cons The admin side can use major improvements Review Source JM Jeffrey M. Sr. Vice President Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Confie Uses OneStream" August 1, 2016 5.0 We implemented this software from start to finish in 6 months. Within 30 days of implementing the company acquired additional companies requiring a restatement of historical results. These companies were integrated within a month. The software is flexible enough that we are able to report based on the latest whims of management. Since implementation, we have redesigned the software more than once due to changes internally, and have accomplished those redesigns quickly. Pros Easy to use, great support Cons Not much Review Source SR Scott R. BI Development Manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Incredible customer service" August 21, 2020 5.0 Pros Integrated financial model allowing for easier system maintenance and one source of truth for data. Cons Troubleshooting Azure service interuptions Reason for choosing OneStream the product was better in every aspect. Review Source AM Alyssa M. Manager of Financial Reporting Sporting Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Relatively new user, getting to know OneStream" June 5, 2019 5.0 Pros The software is easy to use and is basically capable of anything you need it to be. The Customer support is very responsive to requests for help, as well as ideas for functionality. Cons Since I came in after my company implemented, I feel a little behind on the curve on the admin design side (creating cube views, dashboards, etc), so those are a little overwhelming and complex to me, but I feel with training materials available and some practice, it will come easier. Review Source SB Susan B. Controller Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great asset to our company" June 5, 2019 5.0 As a user, it has been extremely positive all the way around. Pros Ease of use. Single platform. Best user acceptance of any software product we have implemented. Cons I miss Smartview , but perhaps I just need to get more familiar with the OS excel tool 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.
