Combines consolidations, planning, and forecasting into a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple products and streamlining data management

There's always stuff on the drawing board, and there's an arms race going on in the AI space. It's too soon to pick a winner between OneStream and Oracle. OneStream's smaller, so maybe they're more nimble, but Oracle has more resources. AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet. The other thing is that there are probably little things in the UI and overall processes that could be made easier to use. But there's nothing so consequential that it ruins your experience. It's more about tweaking and streamlining certain processes within the system.

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."

"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."

"The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."

"We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning."

"The tool's most valuable feature of the solution is flexibility and integration capabilities."

"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."

"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."

"The roll-up potential of the product is very good, meaning we have detailed information and we want it to be summarized, based on geography, based on different product lines, or based on different charts of accounts in the general ledger. It rolls up the information in a very concise way. This makes it easy to understand the overall performance, for it's forecasting aspects, or quarterly reporting, year to year, or month to month reporting."

"Oracle has an integrated solution for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Hyperion. It keeps the two platforms opened up to each other."

"Functionality-wise, it is what they say it is. It is the best in class, but it all ties back to your users. If your users are completely enamored with Excel spreadsheets, then breaking those habits is hard."

"The stability is fine and quite user friendly."

Cons

"We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it."

"AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet."

"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."

"Their documentation could be a little bit more descriptive at places. They don't really do a lot of How-Tos because that gets pushed through to the consulting groups. There have been some books. There is a real good one out there about how to look smarter than you are with Hyperion Planning that some people at a company called ArganoInterRel wrote. Those things do exist, but that's not in their documentation. It's basically like they'll say, "This is the field. This is what it's used for," but they don't tell you how to particularly use it in your case environment."

"The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult."

"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."

"It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert."

"We are still having some issues with the ASO Cube. It can take a long time to clear the data in the ASO Cube compared to BSO data-clearing operations. We don't have a specific calculation in the ASO, and we only have these aggregate options on the ASO side. If we need calculations, we have to calculate them in the BSO and pass the data to the ASO Cube for the reporting. That's one of the drawbacks. Oracle could also improve on the data logging side as well."

"Sometimes Oracle Hyperion is slow when there are a lot of users using it. However, we can have up to approximately 300 users using it."

"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."

"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is expensive."

"The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."

"They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."

"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."

"We pay for licensing yearly."

"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."

"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."

"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."

"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."

"The solution is affordable."

"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
