Strong platform to research public entities
What do you like best about the product?
Breadth of coverage: The platform has very holistic coverage of content on public businesses, which gives me confidence that my search was close to exhaustive
Speed to insight: The search is easy and intuitive. I can find key insights within minutes where previously it would take hours or even days
Search functionality: The search allows me to double click into content easily
Speed of evolution: I started using Alphasense 4-5 years ago (~2018/19) and it continues to get better by the day
Ability to add my own content: The platform becomes really powerful when you start adding your own content. It used to be bumpy but when scanning works well, it is fantastic to quickly go to insights from our own content / have all the research in one platform
Service: I've found the account team to be super responsive and helpful. They help out with specific searches where needed, training of people, fixing tech glitches, etc
I have not used the workflow too much nor the transcription library so cannot opine on that

What do you dislike about the product?
Increasing noise: As the content coverage expands, the noise increases. It takes me longer today to get the right data points than maybe 2-3 years ago, but that's the tradeoff with having a very broad range of inputs
Cost: It's pretty expensive for our use case but ROI may be clearer for people that use the platform day-in-day-out, equity researchers, etc

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to quickly identify datapoints / insights for market research purposes
First go to for competitive intelligence and strategy!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, number of features, customer support, built in AI feature and smart reading for articles, spontaneous availability of transcripts of call recordings
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly I have not yet faced anything with Alphasense which I might want to term as a disavantage or dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AlphaSense is the melting pot of all kinds of information and analysis pertaining to an industry. It essentially taps into the pulse of a market and gives a very clear picture. In an age of data revolution, I must say AlphaSense is a game changer for industry and landscape analysts like me! It helps me with my competitve intellignce role by giving me relevant and timely information - the two keys things that helps an organisation to stay ahead of the competitors.
Does All The Thinking For Me
What do you like best about the product?
The search capability, I am able to search very broadly but still pull relevant results from hundreds of different sources in a way that is not possible with Google or any other tool (CBInsights, PitchBook, Quid, etc.). The quality of the results and the aggregation of industries and companies is also hugely useful for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I do want multiple tabs open so I can hop from document to document and compare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's the perfect supplement to quantitative tools like PitchBook. I'm able to do very deep dives on companies, industries, market chatter, etc. I use it for all of my projects, typically in all stages of research.
A Federated Search Capability for All Analyst Reports
What do you like best about the product?
AlphaSense is the only resource (that I am aware of) that provides a one stop shop for all analyst reports. I easily can find company-specific information in analyst reports AND industry reports that focus on many companies within an industry such as industrial engineering. Many people do not realize that the brokerage houses publish reports that explain a difficult to understand industry such as semiconductors - these reports also include the major players. Finding these types of reports is challenging, but AlphaSense makes is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search strategy box could be larger - perhaps locate this box on a separate page from the list of results. With all the additional features for searching, it would be really helpful to have a separate search page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use AlphaSense for market research, so having all industry reports in one place is valuable to me. AlphaSense includes the narrowly defined industries such as Augmented Reality, Polyolefin Catalyst Market, and Global IoT Chip Market. My problem is finding information on these narrowly defined markets and AlphaSense includes the reports that cover these narrowly defined markets. AlphaSense also helps me with Competitive Analyses - comparing different companies' products, strategy, outlook, etc.
Great Product, Saves me Tons of Time
What do you like best about the product?
I like that AlphaSense is very intuitive to use and that my account manager is always very responsive whenever we have an issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that there is a page restriction on the ammounts of reports I can consume as it leads me to doing targeted search as opposed to getting a hollistic sense of how the company is doing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly able to find the evidence for certain claims I would like to make about a company that I am tracking.
Most efficient searching
What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to find company disclosures via transcripts, 8-K's and broker commentary via equity research reports. The search functionality is incredible
What do you dislike about the product?
Well - it could be faster. Currently it sometimes is a little slow. It'd be cool if more generative AI was included so that you could ask questions with responses that cite sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FactSet, BamSEC, etc - do not have as good search functionality. You can search across research and company disclosure and it's faster and picksup keywords better. It has good Text-Image analysis for Company Presentations as well.
I intend to use alphasense at every role throughout my career
What do you like best about the product?
Search engine / synthesis of information
What do you dislike about the product?
platform is sometimes difficult to navigate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alphasense answers general business questions we receive about competitor progress, updates
A Better Research Search Engine
What do you like best about the product?
Personally the dashboard where I can see multiple windows regarding a topic is the best feature. Not only am I able to analyst corporate docs but the news as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The login page function. I should be able to more easily login or stay login when opening my browser.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to search company financial information with ease.
Great resource for intel from investment bank analysts
What do you like best about the product?
Gives non-public intel from investment bankers (and expert interviewees) at the tip of your finger.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes a "busy" user interface. Could be a bit cleaner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving how we understand our market and our competitors, especially from a financial perspective.
Simplifying lead generation through AlphaSense!
What do you like best about the product?
Viewing my personalized dashboards made extracting information and generating reports on particular leads that interest our company more manageable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could be improved by simplifying it so users can perform searches more efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Through AlphaSense, I'm now reducing my "Alt + Tab" situations, especially when generating detailed reports on the leads I generate for business partners.
