Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

We use AlphaSense to do competitive and market research and analysis for our networking teams. We have access through the subscription to both a large selection of news and analysis sources as well as the comprehensive search capability. We specifically search for insights that relate to the different audiences/personas that we do marketing for.

Pros

  • Using boolean searches and inferences to find trends and themes in the news reports.
  • Sentiment analysis and trend / keyword analysis.
  • Collaboration with your team to save notes, tags, and classify insights.
  • Emailing saved searches to you weekly, as you request.

Cons

  • I wish there was a cheatsheet to more easily access the search boolean logic for putting together complex queries.
  • I would like more market research sources that can provide best practices for buying groups and marketing specifically.
  • Easier ways to share articles with non-users other than downloading a PDF.
  • More well-rounded analysis and context to market conditions.
  • Productivity gains versus manually searching for insights or googling.
  • Specific data on market sizing and movements are easy to find.
Good onboarding process and intuitive text-based search tools with easy filtering and refinement. Color-coded sentiment analysis comes through on the results and in the summary.
AlphaSense has improved our team's ability to search and find insights relating to our competitive position, even if we have started with less context than other teams in the engineering organization. It also allows us to better understand the financial dynamics behind the positioning of our company vs. competitors.

AlphaSense is a great tool for competitive and financial analyst research specifically, due to the breadth of sources included within their database as well as how it is all indexed and linked to the companies mentioned. It's also got amazing search functionality and so therefore if you are looking for commentary about specific issues or themes, it makes that easy to find. The added layer of interviews with knowledgeable people in the industry can help unpack more competitive insights that are only known to practitioners.
