One Killer Feature, Mediocre Everywhere Else

The equity data offering is very weak. That is a major gap relative to its peers and disappointing since it bought a company (Sentieo) that was a budget option much closer in functionality to peers like CapIQ. The UI looks slick, but in many instances not as usable as it should be. Printing documents is annoying - need to download as PDF first to ensure proper printing instead of printing straight from the platform. Many document email alerts do not have any preview of the document which is annoying because AlphaSense often mistags things (e.g. press releases as "offering memorandums").

AlphaSense is great for document search, but mediocre to bad at everything else. Sentieo, which it acquired, was a superior product but unfortunately its strengths have not been retained post merger. In particular, their fundamentals and pricing data has gotten much worse. The history of data is shorter, more inaccurate, and they still have not figured out how to calculate total returns correctly.
