AlphaSense Pros and Cons
April 08, 2024
Huge AlphaSense fan!
It has the best search functionality, surfaces information most easily, and contains broker research.
April 03, 2024
A strong tool for expert call insights!
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 functionality but is very sleek
Koyfin has data and solid visualizations but doesn't have expert calls or other unique data that cannot be found on CapitalIQ or Bloomberg

AlphaSense's excellent ROI
Totally different product. AlphaSense is like a Google Search on steroids.

One stop shop for market intelligence!

AlphaSense consolidated my effort from multiple platforms and dozens of browser tabs down to one window.
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 didn't really enable access to news, so I had to supplement my work with RSS feeds and dozens of open browser tabs. AlphaSense collapsed all of that effort into one search in one window.

AlphaSense Pros with a little bit of Cons
AlphaSense's search engine for filings is powerful/more UI friendly than its competitors.

CI Tool for Strategic Decision making

Great but with room for improvement
AlphaSense seems to be on par with competitive landscape analysis and relevant drugs and companies

AlphaSense Review 2024
- S&P Capital IQ
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 has which AlphaSense does not but those are easy features to add in from my perspective.

A Work In Progress
They all provide different solutions that cater for specific needs.
Crayon is the general purpose software - better at general CI than AlphaSense.
WideNarrow is another version, and provides a glossy output, now backed by Infodesk.
FIBRES is good at organising risk information and articles into a PESTEL or other radar - great for getting the attention of exec leadership, but hard to figure out how to use the platform afterwards.

- S&P Capital IQ
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

AlphaSense
I use both for market index research but oftentimes I rely on AlphaSense for what's not in Bloomberg.
February 26, 2024
Love this product!
- S&P Capital IQ
AlphaSense is much better at searching qualitative information (e.g., analyst reports); CapIQ is still better for getting historical financial data.
February 26, 2024
Great product for public information!
- S&P Capital IQ
Stronger in terms of 3rd party reports. Weaker in terms of the depth of financial information available.

Answer to my research and insight prayers
Slightly different use case. I use the PB for data. I use AS for insights
February 22, 2024
Useful tool for bringing competitive intel together.
I have used GlobalData before. It has better info on drug pipelines but didn't have as much broker research and was much more expensive.
February 22, 2024
AlphaSense is very helpful in tracking market and competitors.
It's difficult to say as it has been several years since I used the above.
February 16, 2024
AlphaSense saves a tremendous amount of time
I have not used any other platform like AlphaSense.

Treasure trove of information and impeccable customer support
- Refinitiv Eikon, S&P Capital IQ and Gartner Peer Insights
AlphaSense is a little cleaner than Refinitiv and S&P since it does not house financial information.

Love AlphaSense.
Better team to onboard equity research.
