Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

AlphaSense is the best service for efficiently accessing content across a multitude of sources, from expert network interviews to earnings calls and conference presentations. Their mobile app is great and their search functionality is best-in-class. Compared to other options I have used (Bloomberg, Tegus/BAMSec, etc.), I find AlphaSense to be the best at helping me find the information I'm seeking as efficiently as possible.
  • Search function
  • Mobile app
  • Expert transcripts
  • Historical chart exporting - Sentieo's should be integrated
  • A la carte pricing for expert calls, instead of bundling
  • There is a weird login process that opens two tabs
  • Big productivity enhancer, I can't imagine doing investment research without it
  • Expert network capability brings new insights, both quantitatively and qualitatively
As mentioned in other sections, AlphaSense is the best at searches and its integrated UI across all different content sources is excellent. It has easy-to-use filtering toggles at the top of the page that are highly intuitive. It is my go-to provider for my needs in content search and I find it is the best, allowing me to isolate the insights I'm looking for amidst all the noise in the marketplace. Its ability to integrate with other content (Evernote, broker research, etc.) leans into the strengths of the platform.
AlphaSense has the best search functionality for text-based content. It does not really compare or compete with data terminals like FactSet or Bloomberg. Traditionally, Tegus has had the best expert network database, but AlphaSense's new Stream initiative seems to be gaining ground. I think Sentieo has had the best historical chart exporting, into a format that analysts would build themselves, and I hope that AlphaSense will integrate that functionality ASAP now that they've acquired Sentieo.

Yes

Would you buy AlphaSense again?

Yes

I believe AlphaSense is the best solution for information searches across filings, transcripts, and other resources. I don't know why it is so much better than the rest, but their language processing is the most accurate. Their expert transcript service is growing but currently, it is not as deep as others like Tegus. It has a good breadth and good depth on certain companies, but not as many as Tegus.
