Data Source integration, transformation/mapping, data staging, visibility/audit trail - the best I've ever seen after 25 years working with various EPM systems. The breadth of the configurability of the system is remarkable - it offers the ability to do so much more than any system I've ever seen. The work flow concept is very well designed and integrated into the system, better than any I've ever seen. The ability to work with data outside of the cube sets OneStream apart from other systems. Dashboards are incredible in what all they can do. Outstanding ability to manage data processing sequences.

OneStream UI looks good; however, it relies heavily on VB coding. In the current era of AI and modern SaaS platforms, this approach is increasingly difficult to justify, and the product philosophy would benefit from a stronger shift toward low-code capabilities. While such complexity may be acceptable for advanced FP&A use cases, it becomes a significant limitation for financial consolidation. In this domain, well-defined regulatory and accounting standards (IFRS, Gaap, etc.) enable more configurable, low-code solutions, which would substantially improve maintainability and user adoption. Performance is another are where the solutions falls short, with a lack of clearly defined metrics or KPIs to objectively assess and monitor performance.
