Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

We use AlphaSense to search public company filings, transcripts and investment research in one place. AlphaSense's search is quick and powerful, and picks up on words w/ multiple common meanings (e.g., searching for "leverage" will return results for "debt"). In my experience, the keyword search returns hits more quickly and with better accuracy than other alternatives I've used in the past. We also use email notifications for certain keywords and new filings and content hitting the site.

Pros

  • Search is flexible and powerful
  • Can search multiple source types, companies and industries simultaneously
  • Notifications and watchlist setup is easy
  • Support has been solid

Cons

  • I occasionally see keywords in filings that aren't picked up in my searches
  • Transcription could be faster
  • Notification templates could be helpful
  • Faster filing reviews
  • Higher quality data source data vs financial aggregators
  • Mosaic of information across sources on one topic
I think it's faster and the search is better than other tools I have used in the past (FactSet, CapIQ, BamSEC).
The notifications are near real-time, it's just a matter of setting them up thoughtfully. The tool is very helpful for researching a key topic across information sources. Having one place to go to understand if a topic is mentioned in filings, company call transcripts, expert calls, sell-side research or in the news is great.
Found AlphaSense's search to be faster and more complete

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

AlphaSense is helpful when looking for specific content across many types of filings or research sources. Can think of the tool as a smart Google search across a set of well-defined sources. If you know what you are looking for, the tool is great. If you are hoping to get broad industry research delivered to you without knowing what you're trying to find, I would look elsewhere.
