Capital IQ is a market intelligence software solution offered by S&P Global Market Intelligence, which is the result of McGraw Hill Financial's acquisition of SNL Financial.
Capital IQ has more data but capital IQ is very clunky to use (it is very slow). Capital IQ lacks expert insight calls but has other data to offer including credit analytics BamSEC only has SEC documents and has integrated with Tegus expert calls. It is lighter on data and …
AlphaSense is one tool I have in my analyst toolbox that helps me dive deep into the research process. It isn't the first place I go when I begin the research process, but it's one area where I spend more time the deeper I get into the process.
AlphaSense is my go to for market intelligence. Capital IQ is my go to for financial data - mainly because I am use to it. PitchBook is my go to for private investment round / private company data
Nothing else had the platform capabilities nor the level of access to information that AlphaSense does. Everything else I tried had one area or type of information it aggregated, but none of them were able to integrate information the way AlphaSense does, and most of them …
AlphaSense provides a much more user-friendly UI/UX than S&P's Capital IQ. It has the same, if not more content, and is much easier to jump in and use without needing months of training to know where everything is. There are a few features like stock price tracking that CapIQ …
Not much compares to AlphaSense, it's my go to for research on public companies CapIQ is a comparator for analyst reports but they are easy to pull on AlphaSense
As compared to Refinitiv, AlphaSense is easier to use off the shelf (has less of the codes to find exactly what one's looking for) and provides more detailed insights a lot quicklier.
AlphaSense makes it easy to get to the right info quickly. The coverage of industries and companies for broker research is much more than the other products. AlphaSense also includes detailed financial info for companies and its AI-based summaries are helpful.
As previously mentioned, CIQ and Bloomberg are better for market data (broker estimates, NAVPS data, etc.). The main difference is access to broker research and the excel plug in
AlphaSense is very differnet from other simlar tools I have used. However, it is very powerful for doing the things it is designed to do. Its search engine feature is among the best and most user friendly that I have used.
I really like AlphaSense but it's not a stop shop. For broker research / keyword search, its the best. But it doesn't have private company info, debt info, or the level industry metrics that PitchBook, Bloomberg, and CapIQ have. Additionally, it doesn't have financials at the …
Very solid. Superior in many respects. The greatest distinction / "barrier" relates to users (be it myself / teammates) strengthening familiarity with continued experience.
AlphaSense is much, much pricier than other offerings we go with - and has increased pricing on us in the upcoming year by 200%. Previously, AlphaSense used to stack up much higher compared to the other offerings we had. However, with the price change and the relatively useless …
In general, PitchBook and CB Insights are better equipped than AlphaSense to provide data specifically geared towards private market investing. S&P Capital IQ, on the other hand, is - like AlphaSense - designed primarily to provide information from public sources in a …
I think for searching and finding specific data AlphaSense is a far superior platform to Capital IQ or even Bloomberg. That being said, I haven't heard of or used an excel plug-in provided by AlphaSense, so it is difficult to compare from that perspective because CIQ's primary …
