Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

I also use the AlphaSense platform to obtain press releases and other official information about a company. The typical requirements or use cases seek the latest analyst views about a company that is published by various equity research firms.

Market analyst reports are a premium feature that can provide detailed analysis of a company and its forecasted earnings. Some of these analyst reports also assess the state of an industry in general and how this industry or sector is likely to evolve over the coming years. The critical use case that AlphaSense addresses is the need for business intelligence for a company or industry.
