Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense
I use AlphaSense primarily for broker research. I also use it to identify key themes, source data for specific queries, earnings summaries and industry news. We also use it to get historical financials of public companies.
Pros
- Search - the keyword search tool is the best I've seen across various databases. Much more useful than Google due to the access to broker research. I use it quite frequently.
- Downloading research by page / snipped instead of the entire report.
- Very intuitive user interface. Best I've encountered across various databases.
Cons
- Would love to see the financials & estimates screen with an option to view a more detailed financial picture - like the full income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.
- Would love to see more KPI tracking for companies in addition to financials.
- Maybe have a legend for earnings call sentiment - it's not always clear how it defines the positive / negative sentiment.
- efficiency/productivity gained in terms of search
- found crucial data otherwise not easily found
I really like AlphaSense but it's not a stop shop. For broker research / keyword search, its the best. But it doesn't have private company info, debt info, or the level industry metrics that PitchBook, Bloomberg, and CapIQ have. Additionally, it doesn't have financials at the level of detail that FactSet does - it doesn't replace any of the other tools apart from Refinitiv perhaps.
