Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

Search and analysis of relevant themes from competitor commentary that may be relevant to our own operations and potential investor/analyst queries. Also used to access sellside research on competitors that isn't already available to us

Pros

  • Sourcing of relevant peers commentary
  • Transcript summaries (newly added)
  • Customer support is virtually instant and always polite and helpful

Cons

  • AlphaSense's own suggestions of key commentary topics are often not useful / informative
  • Greater efficiency in peer analysis
  • Deeper insight in to key sector topics of interest to investors and analysts
Very intuitive for the core function of searching for relevant commentary on the desired topic
Made it more efficient to actively search for a topic i already have it mind ("pull"). However, I haven't found much value added in AlphaSense taking the initiative to tell me what is important ("push") - as most of the key topics it finds are fairly standard financial terms which aren't value-add

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

Well suited to competitor analysis by Investor Relations teams
Well suited to company analysis by sell-side and buy-side analysts

Not so well suited for corporate PR / Media - as the news sources I find are mostly those that just repeat company releases with little of their analysis.
