Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

Once a quarter, I use it to summarize the quarterly earnings reports from our competitors and the associated analyst reports. Also, throughout the quarter, as competitive inquiries arise, I search Alpha sense for any relevant articles.
  • Makes it really easy to find insights on competitors
  • Drop dead easy to find and summarize competitors' earnings reports
  • Provides weekly email with list of possibly relevant articles
  • I do the same 4-6 competitors every quarter, so ideally it would prompt me when the earnings transcripts are available.
  • In ideal world, it would provide a summary of key points from the earnings transcripts.
  • AlphaSense saves me hours every quarter in being able to provide intelligent quarterly summaries to our Executive team so they can quickly keep on top of our competitors' performance and the analyst assessments.
Access to info that can't find thru other platforms. Very simple, easy to use.
Alphasense is much more insightful than PitchBook as it has analyst reports.

Using AlphaSense

3 - Business Development / Competition, and Product management
No one supports "alphasense" on an ongoing basis. As a total, we spend about 6 hours a month using it.
  • Creating summaries of competitors quarterly earning results
  • Ad hoc inquires on competition - any news
  • Ad hock inquires on related companies - validating any news we heard thru grapevine
  • None come to mind
  • If AI was powerful enough, it would do a summary of a company's earning report including analyst reports.
We need it to get the analyst reports to do our quarterly competitor earnings summaries that get sent to our executive team.

Evaluating AlphaSense and Competitors

  • Ease of Use
That is has the most popular analyst reports on our competitors
We would not change anything

  • Doing a general search on a company for any recent news
  • Doing a search specifically for any research (analyst reports) on a company
  • I don't feel like I can count on it to find all relevant news on a company (as opposed to a Google search)

AlphaSense Reliability

Good scalable cloud based system easy to access from anywhere.
It's always up and running. I only give it a 9 instead of 10 because when my account was initiated there was a problem where I didn't have certain accounts.
Everything loads quickly and easy to read and use.
