Time Saving Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy user interface that makes it easy to search for terms across time and/or industries. I also like the view previous tables/export tables feature. Makes it easy to build a model or backfill data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had more credit documents (indentures/prospectuses etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do credit research so being able to track the development of different storylines over time or search relevant trends and have alerts/searches automatically set up saves a lot of time and makes my research process a lot more focused and saves me a lot of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product, highly recommended and a huge time saver. I would note that Bloomberg and factset have similar functionality (particularly factset) and it might be redundant to have both.
Amazing smart search tool!
What do you like best about the product?
All sell-side and independent research in one place and AlphaSense's smart search and synonyms makes it very easy and fast to research any company/sector/topic. Bookmarks, tagging, notes and sharing take it to another level. I find it particularly useful when researching materials for an industry/theme overview and write-up.
Also, integrations (FileSync, Evernote, etc.) are super-useful. Thanks to FileSync, which uploads files from our system to AlphaSense makes them 'online'. It enables us to use smart search across our library of compiled third-party research (imagine how long it would take to find a specific topic/comment across 100s PDFs opening every single one of them and using Ctrl + F? AlphaSense can do this in a matter of seconds!)

What do you dislike about the product?
Helpdesk can occasionally take long time to reply. Citi is not on AlphaSense yet, which is a temporary minus. Also, FileSync does not have an option to choose which file types to sync (right now it syncs PDFs, Word and Excel, whereas the latter is not needed).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consumption of research in a smart and much faster way without missing anything important. Bookmarks, tags and notes make it easy to save and come back quickly to my findings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it out!
Excellent Research Tool
What do you like best about the product?
AlphaSense is easy to use, with features not found on other platforms. What I like, in particular, is the private company coverage, the tear sheets with comparison to competitors, the search functionality, and numerous other features. The number of companies is vast. Plus, they use highly reputable news sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot that I don't like. In fact, I can't think of anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can find information on companies, including presentations by analysts and IR departments very easily. I'm often asked to profile companies. Alpha-Sense is perfect for giving me the information I need to pull an insightful profile together.

Something to consider as a replacement for more expensive solutions. Alpha Sense keeps up to date and is innovative.
Simply the best tool for the Investor Relations and Corporate Research professional

There's really no downside to AlphaSense. I believe that as the platform continues to grow, so will the data sources and archive.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend AlphaSense for professionals who require up-to-date information on public companies and industry research quickly and efficiently.

Ability to download tables directly to excel

What do you dislike about the product?
Would love an option to access all brokers in real time.

Able to consolidate competitive intelligence from analyst reports. Intuitive search allows us to get to the information faster across many reports rather than sifting through the information ourselves.

Like the SaaS nature of it

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there's an important transcript or presentation that's missing, but this is rare.
Also if there's more market data to be a true BBG replacement that'd be awesome.

A Huge Time Saver and Easy to Source Data

sometimes the document freezes on me in Chrome and I need to refresh page
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
two main benefits - 1) helps me sift through years' of transcripts with one easy search, and 2) able to export data from SEC filings into excel
