Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

Pros and Cons

Pros

Clearly summarizes information
Breadth and depth of information
Accurate search results
earnings call transcription

Cons

separating notes, bookmarks, and reports saved for later. It can be confusing if you're not constantly on the platform.

Most Important Features

competitor information, developments, tech, etc.
market data reach; the various sources, broker research, etc.

Generally, the quality of the search results, the way the results are organized by category, and how you can include/exclude, are all very good. Other platforms have quirks, don't provide the same results, and have a different "feel" to them. There could be some improvements as the dashboard can be cluttered visually and spatially, but otherwise, it's a good platform.

AlphaSense Market Intelligence

One good feature of Alphasense is the ability to set notifications. Though I don't believe it's unique, this feature combined with the better quality of results from the platform makes for better awareness of the competitive landscape.

Alternatives Considered

ReportLinker

Generally, the search results are cleaner and better. The interface is a little easier, and the support is more proactive.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's not always able to differentiate very well the different components of the market I operate in. It works well at a macro view, but some of the details of the research aren't always available.
