Overall Satisfaction with AlphaSense

We use AlphaSense to stay up to date on the latest industry reports, company press releases, and expert interviews in a systematic, comprehensive, and efficient manner. Our use cases range from understanding the latest moves of our competitors to assessing new, adjacent markets that we may potentially enter. We use it to both specifically search for information from our favorite 3rd party sources (e.g., Bank of America Car Wars) and discover new information sources through Generative Search.

Pros

  • Summarizing information across multiple company documents via their new Generative Grid tool.
  • Aggregating the latest insights from diverse sources - broker research, expert insights, company documents, and news.
  • Providing a repeatable way to query information.
  • Smart keywords to help you search, e.g., car = auto = automotive.

Cons

  • It can be challenging at times to find the exact report you want, as links within broker research lead to third-party sites rather than being within the platform.
  • Faster ability to assess players within a new market.
AlphaSense has the highest-quality content among the platforms I use. Your search is only as good as the database you're querying, and AlphaSense provides access to the best, most trusted sources of data. I've especially enjoyed the new sources they've been adding, such as expert interview transcripts.
We're still in the process of learning how to use AlphaSense more systematically as a team. Currently, it accelerates individual strategy research questions by providing access to the best reports and off-the-shelf expert interview information. We recognize its value as a more integrated tool for market intelligence and are in the process of incorporating it more closely into our workflows.
We use both CB Insights and AlphaSense for our work. While CB Insights is better suited for private companies, especially startups, AlphaSense is unmatched in its data for large, typically public companies and broader industry research.

AlphaSense is well suited for either deepening knowledge about a market where you already have a solid understanding of the market dynamics or exploring new markets. For new markets, its new Generative Search feature makes it easier to get to the information you are looking for quickly. For established markets, its watchlists make it simple to do repeatable searches.
