Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

Better understanding the market when evaluating investment opportunities.

Very quick and easy way to find specific data - i.e. market size, product sales, clinical information about the product. The search-ability across document types is the biggest draw for me and why I have been in a repeat buyer and have used it in my last 3 jobs.

Pros

  • Searching for sales of a drug called Ampyra

Cons

  • Searching Financial Data for companies. I'd like to be able to pull historical financials for a company by segment or search for companies based on certain financial metrics.
  • Being able to search for transactions - i.e. all life science M&A above $2bn or transactions that mention interventional oncology
  • Certainly quicker searches. I'm able to pull data live in a meeting rather than say "I'll get back to you".
Excellent UI. No issues there.
I don't use the alerts, but I should.
Again, the above are better at sorting and researching companies with certain financial metrics. AlphaSense is better when you know which company you want to learn more about. Also, they are better at simply providing financial metrics of company and historical information.

Do you think AlphaSense delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with AlphaSense's feature set?

Yes

Did AlphaSense live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of AlphaSense go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy AlphaSense again?

Yes

I've recommended it to several colleagues, but my caveat is always that it may not replace what they currently. It's a good adjuvant tool to FactSet or others that have better financial and transactional information. Although, the company dashboard has improved significantly.
