Recensioni su OneStream

OneStream implementation review

Aspetti positivi:

OmeStream is the updated product that most of the others wish they were. Some of the legacy competitors have stopped innovating. Here's an integrated product that's taken off from where they left off.

Aspetti negativi:

OneStream does take professional implementation.

OneStream's Ease of Use

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

OneStream XF

Commenti: We are utilizing OneStream for its consolidation functionality. We are also working to implement the people planning solution.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to have a unified system. OneStream's ability to keep multiple solutions on one platform.

Aspetti negativi:

The amount of clicks to configure a lot of items.

OneStream software - Conversion From Hyperion HFM/FDM/Planning

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

-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

Aspetti negativi:

- Dashboarding can be simplified a bit - powerful, but a bit cumbersome to get started and understand

The next generation of CPM software

Commenti: Primarily driving consistency and accuracy across the company on financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting and eliminating all the shortfalls of maintaining those processes in MS Excel. Future vision to implement Account Reconciliations, People Planning, Capital Planning, Sales Planning and Task Manager.

Aspetti positivi:

The software really is simple to use, user adoption is very fast and for one price you get for multiple products (consolidations, planning/forecasting, account recs, capital planning, etc...)

Aspetti negativi:

I have not found anything currently that I do not like about the software.

OneStream for both Consolidation as IFRS16

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Vima - OS

Commenti: Great tool. I sincerely recommend it to all. I do my job better and have more dat thanks to OS.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

Probably what took the most amount of time was the integration with our ERP.

One-year Post go-live

Commenti: Very happy with our choice and would not change decision if could go back and choose different vendor

Aspetti positivi:

OneStream has wide array of functionalities, all on one platform, one software language at one price; powerful corporate performance management platform has helped us automated many tasks across multiple areas in accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and analytics.

Aspetti negativi:

Like other platforms must invest time and resources to get through learning curve

Powerful, flexible and

Aspetti positivi:

You can incorporate all your Financial Close and FP&A activities in a single unified platform using OneStream. As you integrate different processes within the application you extend and reuse than starting again for each implementation. Customer service and support is incredible, upgrades can be performed within hours and the OneStream Marketplace contains over 50 genuine value-add solutions including Account Reconciliations and Speciality Planning tool. Combine all that and you have the most comprehensive CPM tool on the market.

Aspetti negativi:

OneStream is an extensive platform and organisations that implement it need to take the time to understand what the product represents and invest in the right people to administer and maintain it.

Onestream is the future of CPM

Commenti: Great and responsive service, with lots of offerings that you can add to increase the ROI (task manager, reconciliations) at no extra cost. They are consistently improving the product, not resting on the fact that they already have an outstanding product.

Aspetti positivi:

I really like how easy the software is to use. The customization options are endless, the organization of formulas on members makes it easy to know why a number is the way it is.

Aspetti negativi:

Onestream does a good job of documenting the software, although sometimes the features offered aren’t fully explained, especially in dashboarding. But it’s a small complaint.

Began as a user, now I'm an implementer.

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Onstream from IT perspective

Commenti: Overall is a great software definitely an industry leader in Finance software.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

no that i dislike but the performance some times is a concern.

Consolidate without excel

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

The interface look is not modern enough to my taste but nothing major.

OneStream from an Implementer's Perspective

Commenti: I have worked with other EPM systems and would choose OneStream every time. The possibilities of what you can do within the platform is quite literally endless. The MarketPlace Solutions allow customers to get as much value out of the tool as they want to. Every single customer that I have implemented for has ended up happy with the software and end up with a solid ROI - especially due to the lower amount of client side manpower needed to maintain the system.

Aspetti positivi:

OneStream has been able to handle any client requirement that I've been presented with. The flexibility and 'art of the possible' with OneStream is unparalleled in the EPM space.

Aspetti negativi:

The excel add-in gets the job done for sure, but is not the most user friendly tool. This is typically the hardest piece to train users on and have the most complaints from.

OneStream application review

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

Forms, cube views, origin, fx rates, dashboard.

Aspetti negativi:

Not so user friendly or to keep in mind simple process options to proceed.

OneStream pros and cons

Aspetti positivi:

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!

Aspetti negativi:

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!

One-Stop-Shop for Finance Organizations

Commenti: 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!

Aspetti positivi:

Flexibility - This software can do everything you can think of.

Aspetti negativi:

The standard documentation is not detailed enough for advanced users.

Owner

Commenti: It is been a great journey so far

The platform concept that enables companies to have multiple solutions in a single app.

Aspetti negativi:

The required initial setup is very important.

An excellent software!

Commenti: OneStream simplifies many business and accounting tasks saving a lot of money.

Aspetti positivi:

I loved its Asset Planning and Balance Sheets components.

Aspetti negativi:

There’s no free trial for new users to test drive the product.

Share the data model

Aspetti positivi:

Sharing dimensions like accounts, entities and management details across multiple purposes empowers the flexibility and “one version of the truth”

Aspetti negativi:

The admin side can use major improvements

OneStream XF Review

Commenti: We are currently using OneStream for consolidation, budgeting/forecasting, cash flows, account reconciliations, and external/internal reporting.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to report off of, budget, forecast, analyze, and reconcile to the same set of base data is valuable for streamlining our processes.

Cube view and report building has a steep learning curve for finance individuals.

OneStream is by far the top CPM tool out there

It's vast capabilities of reporting, ease of use, BI Blend, Dashboarding and excel.

Aspetti negativi:

There is so much we can do it's difficult what to select first.

User experience

Aspetti positivi:

OneStream is a fantastic product. we make use of capex and people planning at our organization

Aspetti negativi:

so far very is going well with Onestream

OneStream is ahead of the competition

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of use is very good. With minimal training I was able to setup the system (with help of consultants of course).

Aspetti negativi:

Some features are a direct copy of HFM, which is not strange because it's the same creators.

Incredible customer service

Aspetti positivi:

Integrated financial model allowing for easier system maintenance and one source of truth for data.

Aspetti negativi:

Troubleshooting Azure service interuptions
