OneStream on Mac OS

[Gidon_Albert]

Hi,

Can OneStream work on Mac OS? If so, how?

[NicolasArgente]

Hi Albert!
No, not yet, it will not for as of version 7.1.3 on MacOS (or linux).
The future version will be compatible and is gonna be released in the coming month - but not official. We are all exited to see it 🙂
Cheers

Natively not supported yet but you can work with OneStream using windows VM on a mac.

As others mentioned, you can't access the Windows App on anything that is not Windows, so at the moment you'll need a virtual machine for that (VMWare Fusion, Parallels, VirtualBox, etc). There is a limited mobile interface accessible via web browser, meant to display basic reports - that will probably work on Safari, but there is little you can do with it.

We should soon get a release with a completely new browser-based interface, which was previewed at Splash; that should work on Mac just fine. It's currently in private beta only for a small subset of customers, but the program is expanding; you can get in touch with your Customer Success Manager if you'd like to be part of that. General availability is expected for late next year.

I got the same response from Support that I need a VM in Mac to connect to OS.

Guys, has someone tested Docker in Mac to host OneStream Client?

Hi,

any new news about using OneStream on Mac OS? 

[JackLacava]

As far as I know, it's still as I mentioned earlier: "We should soon get a release with a completely new browser-based interface, which was previewed at Splash; that should work on Mac just fine. It's currently in private beta only for a small subset of customers, but the program is expanding; you can get in touch with your Customer Success Manager if you'd like to be part of that. General availability is expected for late [this] year."

This said, keep an eye on announcements at Splash...

Thanks, Jack, for the update.

I think I just heard you tell me I should bring my MacBook to Splash....

[JackLacava]

Lol no. "BrowserUX" will be great when it reaches GA, but I wouldn't expect it to be at this Splash, sadly. I just meant that we will likely get a proper update about it.

Hey Jack,

Any updates on the BrowserUX availability? I don't think I received any communications on its development.

Also, my OS version is 7.1.3 - would the alternative solution of using a VM/ Remote Desktop work for this version?

[JackLacava]

At this time (April 2024), Browser UX is available in private beta for most Cloud customers on request, you can get in touch with your Customer Success Manager to discuss it - it will require upgrading to 8.x though, which is a significant step. Full general availability is expected sometime in the next 16 months (again, on version 8.x or higher).

The alternative solutions suggested will work for any version. With v.7, I would recommend your client vm to run Windows 10.

Hi,

Would the OneStream excel add-in works with Mac?

[JackLacava]

Not at this time.
