One stop for all the CI needs
What do you like best about the product?
Expert Calls, IP information, analyst reports
What do you dislike about the product?
Complexity using Boolean terms; can be made better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a One Stop platform for all the CI solutions in pharma consulting; saves humongous of time and effort
AlphaSense is super useful for my pharmaceutical research needs.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it contains information from all available sources in one place. I especially like the equity research reports, which can be hard to find. I also like the "filterability".
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are a lot of features I never use which can be a distraction, but overall I figure out what I need and just use those. PErhaps as I get better with the system I will find uses for those tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm often asked to synthesize lots of information. AlphaSense allows me to find it all in one place, including archived resources which can be hard to find. I need it to do my job at the highest level.
I don't Google anymore!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Alphasense for the past 4 years and have never looked back! I love that I can quickly search for a specific topic related to a particular company/stock. I also appreciate the analyst reports, and I like the newly added feature of the expert calls!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the pages take a long time to load, and the search button within a text sometimes doesn't work correctly. Also, I don't particularly appreciate when there is a limit on the page you can read/download.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am more productive because It's making my research process faster as I don't have to sort through lots of pages that are not relevant to me. Accessing the analyst reports has also allowed me to deliver extra content to senior managements
Great and detailed information for topics related to any industry
What do you like best about the product?
The sentiments marked in green and red, the company recent reports and fillings
What do you dislike about the product?
should have more filers in the adnvace search options
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving my request of many desk research questions on various markets and industries
Best search functionality out there
What do you like best about the product?
AlphaSense smart searches are far superior to competitors. Also the access to all sellside content in one place is very convenient. Email alerts are also part of my daily workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are a few UI frictions that could be ironed out (certain broker notes don't load well, or download as PDF correctly, etc.). Sometimes searches that go back several years seem to be missing content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a single workspace to view research, company docs, filings, and news in one place has made AS one of my top two programs I use for equity research. Very helpful!
Great for channel checks and finding answers to specific questions about companies and industries.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to read transcripts from other analysts gives insights not only into answers but into questions. Also, enables efficiency of being able to find the most relevant transcripts and read them prior or potentially instead of talking to the expects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think they are great. I hate managing the scheduling part, but Stream is very helpful in doing it for me. They also do preliminary expert screening which saves time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning about insider's perspectives on company strategies, implementation and skill set of the management teams. Performing channel checks. Getting up to speed on an industry and keeping informed about the latest issues in the industry. Able to find both strategic and technical talent that help form a view of what happens with the company with specific positive or negative scenarios.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend AlphaSence - really saves time and gives another perspective on prospective or existing investments. I found it to be an important part of my reserch process.
Stream Has Beaten my Expectations On All Fronts
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, while this is a tech company, it is a relationship business. I was honestly pretty hesitant initially, but the service has been top-notch, and the quality of the experts is just as good if not better, than other networks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Stream had better expert coverage outside of the United States, especially in Asia. Non-English speaking experts can't have calls transcribed, so this isn't a strategic fit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Expert networks are opaque and wasteful as the call is typically a 1x1 relationship. Stream does a great job increasing transparency through its library while also making calls available at a price point that makes expert calls far more accessible earlier in the research process. Rather than compromise on just doing a few calls, I can get up to speed quickly and dive in on topics earlier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it's a no-brainer to use Stream. After their acquisition by AlphaSense, the underlying technology has improved a lot, and I believe they are not just a technology leader but a terrific partner for my research process.
My go-to investment research tool
What do you like best about the product?
What I truly like about Stream by Alphasense is the very broad range offered in terms of not only tickers/industry covered but also in terms of the experts' backgrounds.
The Stream by AlphaSense team is super responsive and resourceful when I request a specific expert profile - even for the most niche companies - they always deliver.
Stream by AlphaSense has become an essential part of my research process and an extremely valuable tool to generate new investment ideas.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly I struggled a bit with the search function when I started using Stream by Alphasense - but this was with the old version of the platform. The new and current platform has a completely different search function that is capable of understanding different nuances, which is very useful when I am researching companies in complex fields like pharma and biotech.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used a wide range of expert networks over the last years as part of my research. Other than the prohibitive cost of a single expert call, the quality of the experts was very hit-and-miss and usually the scope of what the experts were truly knowledgeable about was pretty limited - which meant that mutliple calls were required to properly cover a specific area. Stream by AlphaSense basically solves all of these problems at a fraction of the cost.
Alphasense is accelerating our Strategy & Intelligence capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Relevant, quality results. I appreciate the sophisticated search functionality. I also really like the preview of each result without needing to download to view and search the report. The positive/negative connotation feature is also extremely helpful for earnings transcripts. Love the keywords hits that direct me to the relevant pages to minimize scrolling.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I receive the automated emails pertaining to my saved searches, I often end up with the same headline repeated over and over and over in one email (different articles from different searches, but SAME headline). e.g., Shell Partners with XYZ on XYZ Project. The email will come to me with that same headline repeated 10 times from 10 different sources. Suppose it's good to know that many sources are talking about same headline, but if there were some way that it could be bucketed... e.g., Headline X and there are 10 different places to read about it. Would like for Alphasense to open up doors to additional research subscriptions. e.g., if you are an Alphasense member, you can access a certain number of BNEF reports per month as a subscription benefit. Expanded access to premium content in Energy sector would continue to be huge benefit!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improving our research process. Alerts us on topics we are tracking which saves time in running searches elsewhere or monitoring 10 other platforms. Reducing time to find the information needed. Very helpful in competitive analysis / peer monitoring with the sentiment and key word abilities in earnings transcripts and reports. I really need to get our own Teams content integrated to the platform soon... would be huge boost in value!
Fantastic Experience with Stream and Highly Recommend
What do you like best about the product?
User interface and functionality of the product is great, and the tools are only getting better each month.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had a better ratings / rankings scale so that it would be easier to read the best transcripts on a name first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stream helps me conduct research and due diligence and research on stocks I am investigating.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stream is a great platform, and whether you use other platforms already or not, you're almost assuredly going to get great additional value out of Stream
