The Ultimate Time Saving Machine
What do you like best about the product?
Alpha sense allows users to plow through lots of filings by narrowing down the search results by way of search engine optimization, featuring their "smart search" which searches for bywords, adjacent words, etc. which help get more hits on your searches. For instance, searching for "revenue" would also look for bywords such as "sales", "product", "income", etc. which comes in handy and saves you time.
Very helpful when researching a certain topic, or looking for quotes, references, etc.
Very helpful when researching a certain topic, or looking for quotes, references, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike when you save this much time, but sometimes the search bar can be a tad slow to respond and edit. Other than that everything works well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Researching broad market trends, addressable market size, macro data, etc.
Major productivity gains
What do you like best about the product?
Smart synonyms and centralised pool of documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
Some friction from having all the individual access from broker research and some corporate documents missing from time to time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Major productivity gains in searching information
Great platform, saves so much time!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy the website is to use. With the search options, it's easy to narrow down the list to find exactly what you're looking for quickly. I love that you can search easily within documents with keywords.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is so much information, that sometimes looking at one screen with that much information can be overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to quickly find answers with basic search functions. It saves me so much time and makes downloading my notes and documents reviewed easy.
Intuitive, User Friendly Product with Great Customer Support
What do you like best about the product?
AlphaSense has a great search feature to quickly locate any mention of specific topics within documents, press releases, and transcripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
AlphaSense can be very slow to load at times and even at the best of times doesn't have great latency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AlphaSense enables me to quickly and easily research companies, find historical data points or past management commentary, locate facts and figures within company reports, download reports for later review, and download data to excel for my own use. One of my favorite tools on AlphaSense is the ability to highlight sections and take notes directly in the document so that I can easily find things later on that are important or that I would like to remember for future research. AlphaSense has significantly increased my productivity and efficiency by allowing me to search through documents more effectively compared to the search feature on FactSet that I used to use (although I intend to try the new Document Search feature in FactSet to see if it has improved).
Combines The Best Of Multiple Platforms - And Always Improving
What do you like best about the product?
Has made searching for topics or keywords and tracking sentiment across multiple quarters and document types.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a live transcript option for earnings calls, though they are normally up pretty quick.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smart search looks for topics or similar words for what I'm looking for, rather than having to match specifically, saving a lot of time and cuts down on things I might have missed
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth the investment to improve timeliness and improve depth of search.
Great for data mining non-financial information
What do you like best about the product?
Search feature is best in class, much better than CapIQ.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tool is pricy. At $5K per person per year we are paying the same as CapIQ despite having an equity data terminal with latter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding hard to find data. For example, if someone wanted to find same store sales within Walmart it would take forever looking this up in CapIQ. Mainly by manually opening up PDF one by one. With AlphaSense tool all information is brought up one easy to use panel.
Helpful and easy to use resource
What do you like best about the product?
Keyword searches that run concurrent to company searches help the results to be easily reviewed for the most relevant information as it is highlighted. Also, the live help team are very responsive and have always helped to resolve any issues promptly. I also appreciate that is a single source for company filings, transcripts, analyst reports versus having to seek these in multiple sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some delays in the posting of materials. Entitlements not actively managed without requesting. Also, sign in is required with full username/password at each access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Financial information is easy to find along with transcripts of investor events which are a real timesaver compared to listening to the entirety of the event. Also, I can develop an idea of whether there is consensus or controversy surrounding certain topics which is helpful with risk assessment.
One of the best websites on the web
What do you like best about the product?
AlphaSense has some of the most comprehensive information available. Their search engine is second to none.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can only download 20 documents at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Searching for SEC filings for specific dates; searching for specific quotes in a wide range of documents. AlphaSense has cut down on search times for both SEC filings and general documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. It is highly underrated but will be a pleasant surprise once you use it on a regular basis.
Doubles my Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to search a wide range of documents, quickly, and sort relevance - even when I don't know exactly what I'm looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of previews when populating search results - I often have to click into and load the entire document, when the 1 sentence context that gets highlighted in the 2nd from left panel is often all I need to identify is this the document I'm looking for, yes or no.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Investment research. Getting to conviction on an idea by understanding the history of a company. Makes me a better informed investor and helps highlight competitors, nuances, history etc. that I wasn't aware of.
Makes Finding a Needle in a Haystack Easy
What do you like best about the product?
AlphaSense makes searching for a specific topic very easy across peer sets or industry and you can set up alerts to get notified as soon as something crosses the wire that meets your criteria.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have multiple alerts set up and something crosses the wire that meets several of the alert criteria, you will get duplicate email notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the pandemic, it has been very easy to search across our peers and see how they are responding to the challenges. In my opinion, AlphaSense is a great tool to make sure you are staying in the loop with what is happening across your space.
