'Übereinstimmend' (consistent / unanimous) is the present participle of the verb 'übereinstimmen' (to agree / correspond). This verb literally means to be 'of one voice' with someone, that is, to have the same opinion.
Die Experten kamen zu einem übereinstimmenden Ergebnis.
The experts came to a consistent result.
The word can be used as an adjective before a noun or as an adverb to describe a verb. As an adjective it is declined; as an adverb it remains unchanged.
Das ist eine übereinstimmende Meinung.
That is a consistent opinion.
As an adjective, 'übereinstimmend' (consistent) is often combined with nouns that express information or views, for example 'übereinstimmende Aussagen' (consistent statements), 'übereinstimmende Berichte' (consistent reports), or 'übereinstimmende Ergebnisse' (consistent results).

agreed / united
'einig' and 'übereinstimmend' both express that there is no important difference between opinions or statements. 'einig' is used mainly for people: they agree with each other. 'übereinstimmend' is often used for statements, reports, results, or opinions that are the same in content. It can also describe several people acting together and without contradiction. In everyday language, 'sich einig sein' sounds more natural for people; 'übereinstimmend' sounds more precise when comparing statements or results.
