Budgyt vs. OneStream

Budgyt is great for instant consolidation of a multi-department and multi-entity organization. It has strong hierarchy and roll-ups at various levels. User setup and security is straightforward, with ability to restrict data to only department heads over a project. Excellent capability in salary and benefit calculation, for instance down to each type of state and federal tax, and each type of employee health benefit with individual cost as specific as necessary. Strong export functionality.

OneStream is best suited for medium to large companies that find themselves doing a wide variety of manual processes during their financial close cycle will get the most benefit. That does mean a lot of change so there has to be very intentional communication around change management in order to get the buy in that is necessary for success.

• Combining departments (components of an entity or a component of various entity's income statement) or isolating departments (small slivers) of an entity's income statement. We can look at specific departments of specific entities together, with ease.
• Splicing / flipping reports into countless formats. Helpful for users of the financial statements that digest data/numbers differently than the financial accountants who prepare the numbers.
• It is relatively easy to import data from our Jonas accounting program into Budgyt.
• We've had prompt customer service when we've encountered issues and they were readily available during implementation.

• Consolidation engine is powerful, we have around 500 entities translating from multiple source currencies into a common currency at good speed.
• We leverage the Flash and Quarterly forecast providing users with pre seeded data so they only need to make tweaks rather then filling in a lot of manual forms.
• We use Transaction matching for processing a lot of intercompany matching invoices from the ERP systems which helps end users a lot. Data is fed in from source ERPS and TXM generates the auto matches based on criteria provided.
• We have a custom Tax module which we use to pull in tax entries from the consolidation side and this gives the Tax teams starting position for their tax calculations and enables them to also do a quarterly forecast estimate.
• OneStream has great dashboarding capabilities for a whole range of use cases from charts and graphs, to drill-back data to running even steps that users can execute without having access to the source code/rules in the background!

• Inside setting up HR forumlas, it should give more than one filter criteria.
• Application got slow after putting the information of HR module and formuals, need to speed up.
• Selection of multiple companies with different GLs can be an option where it is lacking.
• Didn't see the multicurrency feature, can be a good add on.

• Provide some more prebuilt dashboards that serve as reference examples for specific topics, to allow users to gain an idea of all that is possible
• Provide some clear cut explanations to explain some of the standard concepts, to allow companies that start their implementation to gain a quick understanding of how things work

Our organization has increased our level of financial reporting and decreased the time it takes to build a budget with the Budgyt platform. Because our budget managers have access, it allows them a higher level of ownership for their areas.

Currently we are using OneStream with people 80 - 100 to load the PL, BS , Forecast budget and People Planning. OneStream give us more visibility on trend and way forward thinking. Thanks to OneStream for the tool which helps the business in growing way. Thinking of innovation OneStream is right path.

Incredibly easy to use and intuitive. Design is simple without lacking functionality. Limited learning curve makes it very easy to set up and start using, and with little practice it becomes incredibly easy to perform routine tasks, including monthly update of actual data, running and analyzing reports, as well as building budgets, forecasts, and 'what-if' scenarios

Overall usability as an end-user is very easy. There are more people in the system getting information now than the prior platform used. People are gathering their information quicker as well. From an administrator standpoint, there are fewer glitches and issues than the prior platform. This is very good.

James the founder always replies to my emails in a timely manner, even if overseas. Has not passed me on to a customer service support team member. Rob was great with the initial demos as explored the product to see if it was what we wanted. Online documentation and videos are very good

OneStream support is focused on the infrastructure. Which means mainly when there issues with accessing to the system, they will be able to help. When the question is to much leaning towards functional it really becomes billable. The other issue is that the response time is not optimal. There is a lot of pingpong of messages and the time between the message can sometimes be long. Sometimes this result into a simple ticket to be taking days before it is closed.

onestream offers a range of training. I have attended a number of trainings. During the trainings a vast amount of information is discussed. The trainings also include exercises. The speed of the training is pretty high. When reviewing the training material afterwards, I found that the material is not complete as reference as it relies also very much on the verbal explanation and elaboration.

We were fortunate to have the founder lead us through a video conference to teach our users how to use the system. Totally invaluable!

We selected Budgyt over other options because it is exceptionally easy to use, perfectly meeting all our budget management needs. Its user-friendly interface, robust functionality, and cost efficiency enabled seamless multi-department integration. Budgyt delivered the performance and financial insights we required at a fraction of the cost, ensuring maximum value.

OneStream is much more robust, has functionality around creating financial statements in Common Currency which other systems we used could not handle. OneStream has a really good structure around it. We believe it's a much better fit for a Global company of our size. We're just scratching a surface of what the system capabilities are.

The ability to budget at multiple organizational levels is central to Budgyt's design. These levels can be regions or product lines or departments, which are all easily rolled up to a consolidated organizational view. Reporting back against these levels is also built-in to the system.
