Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

I use it to run due diligence on companies in the space. Scope is rather broad.
  • Highlight keywords in transcripts
  • Comprehensive data sources
  • Find obscure company documents
  • Search hits for multiple keywords or phrases (google search seems to be more effective for these)
  • More efficient, time saved!
  • Important data sources found
Pretty user friendly interface
Not so much yet, but maybe once I set some alerts
AlphaSense seems to be on par with competitive landscape analysis and relevant drugs and companies

AlphaSense Reliability

Overall great platform but some drawbacks/ bugs that should be addressed before scale-up (as highlighted in my review).
Often slowdowns and pages not loading.
Again, great overall but room for improvement on efficiency, keyword search results and speed of loading.
