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.
Mahdi Mohaddes - PeerSpot reviewer
Good tool for data visualization but interface is not very intuitive
I am the one that builds the reports. So, it's the baseline for making any predictions for budgets and something like that. We are an international organization, so it helps us to have consolidated reports and a clearer overview. It certainly supports streamlining across our global operations. The integration of Hyperion into our existing system improved operational efficiency.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."
"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."
"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."
"This is a customizable product. Our implementation was designed to fit our needs."
"The stability is fine and quite user friendly."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"Since it is an enterprise-capable solution, people are not worried about security, giving data, the ability to manage complex consolidation, and its ability to modify reporting."
"The accuracy of data gathering and consolidation is very good."
"The implementation has been simplified now that it's deployed in the cloud. Also, Hyperion is tightly integrated with Oracle products because Oracle owns it now."
"It's a very good program and it's useful for consolidation."
 

Cons

"AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet."
"We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it."
"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."
"There can be an improvement in many regards with the dimensions, the metadata, the interfaces, as well as the integration."
"Improvements are needed in the tool's performance."
"The analytics could be improved."
"The solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
"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 solution is about to cease to exist, so it doesn't really matter if they add anything to it. It's at end-of-life."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
"I have a problem with Hyperion when I need to log some changes in the budget. It's hard to know who made which changes in the budget."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."
"The licensing is expensive."
"The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"The solution is affordable."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
