Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use AlphaSense to research topics pertinent to the project I am working on. During earnings prep, it's used to establish baselines and to research trends, topics of concern within the industry, and investor interests. AlphaSense is also helpful for surveillance on other biotech's positioning as well as what they may be saying about our company. The platform is heavily used as a monitor for recent news, filings, research, transcripts, and presentations which include topics we care about.

Pros and Cons

Search
Access to pertinent materials
Broad number of sources
Boolean search
Finds relevant content quickly within a document
Simple to use

Copy and paste function from information found can be difficult
Sentiment reader does not capture context very well
Managing watch list can be confusing

Likelihood to Recommend

AlphaSense is well suited for pulling broker research, preparing for earnings, researching topics of interest, patent search and discovery, and competitor analysis. I use it regularly for information monitoring as an alert system. It's excellent for understanding a topic on a broad level and is less appropriate for a deep dive into highly complex topics.

Return on Investment

Invaluable for understanding the capital market environment and the impact of particular messaging.
Deep competitive insights that boost confidence of management's strategic decisions
We make more informed decisions utilizing the broad content sources

Usability

I use AlphaSense every day. It's much less complicated than other platforms, more intuitive, and provides excellent tools to curate the information you actually need. AlphaSense changed the way I perform my responsibilities, made them easier to complete, and provided a more complete picture of the information and intelligence I require to be highly effective.

AlphaSense Market Intelligence

I use AlphaSense for daily monitoring of my company's competitive landscape, patent positioning, investor interests, and real-time news and research insights. The various types and a broad number of relevant sources make monitoring easier and faster. My team can understand and convey significant changes so that we react in a well-informed and complete manner.

Alternatives Considered

Bloomberg Terminal and Thomson Reuters AdvanceFlow

AlphaSense has better search capabilities, is easier to understand, and the content is easier to read. Bloomberg's advantage is specifically capital markets oriented with their quote system and economic functionality. Even if I had a Bloomberg or Thomson Reuters, I'd use AlphaSense alongside. Thomson Reuters was a poor substitute and cumbersome for intelligence gathering.

Other Software Used

Thomson Reuters AdvanceFlow, Bloomberg Terminal, Google Search Console
