Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use AlphaSense as a tool to aid in our deep research into companies or fields of interest. It is helpful in our financial modeling, deep dives into complex topics, and as a source for transcripts. It is my go-to tool when looking for information on almost any work related query.

Pros and Cons

Historical financial tables
Transcripts
Web based search prioritization

Audio file navigation using available text in transcript
Developing larger pool of expert transcripts

Return on Investment

Saves me time which means more output which means more business

Usability

I think it is very user-friendly, especially when looking for company data. It is not the best when looking for news articles, as I feel other search engines, like Google, give me more relevant articles. However, for what I need this for it is my number one tool I use to look at transcripts, corporate filings, etc.

AlphaSense Market Intelligence

It has not helped us from a competitive landscape to know what our competitors are doing. However, it is very helpful for staying up to date on what is going on in our field of interest, and our go to tool for looking up historical data and transcripts. It has also been helpful when looking at clinical trial developments.

Likelihood to Recommend

I use AlphaSense weekly, if not daily, while at work. It is my go-to source when looking for information on the web. I also use it frequently when analyzing corporate filings, and find it incredibly useful for building out company financial models, as it has very easy navigation tables for both the current and past filings. It is not the best when looking for news articles, so I will often just use Google for that, but it isn't a deal breaker.

Great product for increased productivity
