It is excellent for both qualitative and quantitative information on public companies. We especially love how easy it is to search and find relevant information. And the new AI summarization feature is a huge time saver. It is less well-suited for information on private companies.

AlphaSense is well suited for analysts looking for expert call insights on a broad swath of names. AlphaSense is a good replacement for Tegus and other similar expert call libraries because it has more to offer than just call transcripts. AlphaSense is a great place to centralize a body of work and build keyword alerts on specific topics or companies.

AlphaSense is fantastic when performing deep research on a topic, as the expert interviews and depth of information available are impressive. AlphaSense is a great complement to my research process, however, I don't think I could replace any tools with AlphaSense. Also, while the volume of information is vast, it can be very easy to get lost in the "noise" of news flow.

It really saves a lot of time for small IR teams. I think the price is fair, if it was more expensive it would be difficult to continue to justify. Also, the ability to donwload reports for many different companies is great. We want to continue to leverage the relationship

AlphaSense is well suited for scenarios where your needs are around financial data.
However, if your data is less public, broader in scope, or simply "softer", AlphaSense does not work as well.
However, for overall market sentiment directional analysis iot is a good tool.
The fact that you may search an enormous number of data sources from a single control pane with advanced features and filters works remarkably well.

AlphaSense works very well for researching topics related to companies, technologies and/or industries. The information access is super useful. Sorting by search relevance and filtering by source type can help curate the information to what you are looking for. One area that could use some help is how to digest that information down to usable chunks. If your goal is to synthesize the information into your research, then the platform seems to have some tools to help do that, but it will still be a manual process. A CoPilot or similar integration could go a long way to improving the time to value of using this tool and the information it gathers for you.

AlphaSense is well suited for finance/strategy roles, where teams are heavily involved in gathering external data about a company, industry, and trends. It helps customers save hours of their time sifting through SEC filings, earnings transcripts, broker reports, etc. AlphaSense is less appropriate for those that may only need to pull minimal/generic financial data (i.e., P&L), not explicitly using key search terms/keywords (i.e., trying to find how much a company paid for an acquisition as reported in their 10K).

AlphaSense is appropriate when performing market analysis, competitive intelligence, and due diligence. It has all of the information in one place so I don't have to go circling the internet to find information. For these three applications, I can't think of anything I have to go outside of AlphaSense for.

It's good for quick searches on known competitors to find latest information, reports, analysis.
Private company research remains a challenge.
Accessing reports through links don't often go direct to source, but lead you to the system. This is not advantageous for other readers without licenses and other platforms offer a different model where readers don't have to have a license.

AlphaSense is a great tool for conducting market research, analyzing financial data, gathering competitive intelligence, and staying informed in investor relations. It offers a wide range of information, making it easy to track industry trends and competitor activities. However, it may not be the best choice for primary research, niche topics, or real-time news monitoring.

I use AlphaSense so much. Even though it's not perfect, the ability to find so much analysis all on one site makes it such an important tool in my day to day work. It's most appropriate when prepping for a new company or industry report --- or even just to get a background on what other firms are talking about.

- I love the sentiment analysis as a first pass of what the company is talking about
- it's more usful than google for researching a topic
