Likelihood to Recommend

I have used intelligence platforms like AlphaSense's for many years and as a new kid on the block, they have started from a foundation of what works and has made the entire process practically effortless. We have set up pertinent dashboards and watchlists and have a very well defined stream of intelligence coming in through AlphaSense's platform. The text analytics embedded in the platform is fantastic as is the ability to grab financial data for multiple companies and multiple years or quarters. Suffice it to say, AlphaSense's in-platform analytical features are very useful and a welcome addition to this type of service.

We are very happy with not only the platform's access to information and it's ability to help us analyze it, but we work closely with the AlphaSense team throughout the year and they are a pleasure to work with. Definitely the kind of partner that Hussmann Corp. values.
