Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

I work in the biotechnology industry and am responsible for managing oncology clinical trials supported by my organization as well as venture investments. I use AlphaSense to monitor developments in the markets/ field of cancer research and clinical development, research companies, and monitor activities of companies. I use the platform to find company information, including financials, sell-side research, press releases, and company presentations.
  • aggregator of information
  • efficient search tool for a variety of topics, including very specific details
  • access to broad spectrum of information from various (and growing) sources
  • it would be nice if there was an easy way to see how many credits a user still has available to apply to downloading sell-side (broker) research
  • Improved efficiency in researching companies and various subject matters, which has saved me time
  • Keeps me informed of developments with key collaborators/partners (companies)
I find the specificity of the search results, ease of using the platform, and breadth of data sources to be the key areas of differentiation. I also appreciate the ease of downloading documents and toggling between the various data sources.
The timeliness of receiving the latest information, particularly with real-time alerts, is very helpful to me/my team as we work extensively with third-party partners/collaborators, and having the ability to stay informed about developments with these partners is very helpful, if not critical. I also have a high degree of comfort with the information provided by AlphaSense which also enables me to make decisions quicker, given this level of familiarity/comfort with the source of the information.
In comparison to other data providers I have worked with, I appreciate the dynamic nature of the AlphaSense platform that allows me to dial in or dial out the sources of the data. With other providers, I feel that I had less control over this, and not having the ability to filter or narrow the data sources can result in information overload which leads to inefficiencies.

I have added a colleague to our AlphaSense account and I have recommended AlphaSense to several friends/work colleagues at different companies. The focus of these people has been researching, investor relationships, and investment banking. I have referred to AlphaSense as "Google on steroids" regarding the search capabilities and added that it is extremely user-friendly and has one of the richest sets of data sources I have ever come across.
