"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."

Cons
"The dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement.""It's wonky, and not super user-friendly with Excel.""It is a bit expensive, but it does the job.""Planning Analytics could be improved by adding automation features.""The local authentication part is difficult to manage in the product, making it an area where improvements are required.""Extracting data is a little slow.""The tool should include features for prediction. It can also improve the scalability.""The tool's transport layer could be improved when promoting development between environments."

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