Sitting on the desks of 325,000 of the world’s most influential decision makers, the Bloomberg Terminal is a modern icon of financial markets. Launched in 1981, long before PCs and the internet became ubiquitous, the Bloomberg Terminal connected market participants to data, analytics and information-delivery service.
AlphaSense makes it easy to get to the right info quickly. The coverage of industries and companies for broker research is much more than the other products. AlphaSense also includes detailed financial info for companies and its AI-based summaries are helpful.
AlphaSense is more user-friendly and easier to load, manage and extract info from. Bloomberg remains a default for me and provides more ‘live’ info and financial info, which AlphaSense currently lacks.
The search function is horrendous. The news search is inaccurate. The search results could be overwhelming, and most of them are irrelevant. Transcript keyword search is slow and clunky.
AlphaSense's smart search functionality is a huge differentiator versus these peers, particularly its ability to easily search through broker research (versus just filings/transcripts). In addition, AlphaSense makes it much easier to review multiple documents at once, and the …
As previously mentioned, CIQ and Bloomberg are better for market data (broker estimates, NAVPS data, etc.). The main difference is access to broker research and the excel plug in
AlphaSense is very differnet from other simlar tools I have used. However, it is very powerful for doing the things it is designed to do. Its search engine feature is among the best and most user friendly that I have used.
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 …
AlphaSense has the best search / smart search functions. Refinitiv has more equity research reports, but AlphaSense has more than FactSet or BBG. All 4 databases do a comparable job of providing financials. FactSet has an impressive feature that allows you to jump within …
I think for searching and finding specific data AlphaSense is a far superior platform to Capital IQ or even Bloomberg. That being said, I haven't heard of or used an excel plug-in provided by AlphaSense, so it is difficult to compare from that perspective because CIQ's primary …
AlphaSense gives users the most pertinent information and allows for custom search of industry-level, macroeconomic, as well as company-specific data, which optimizes the research and information gathering process.
I trialed Sentieo before returning to AlphaSense. Sentieo (now purchased by AlphaSense) is where I fear AlphaSense may be headed: a bundle of services that loses focus on a core search capability. I use Bloomberg and do not want or expect AlphaSense to compete on the market …
If you have Bloomberg, the use case for AlphaSense is probably limited. If you don't have Bloomberg, AlphaSense can replace Capital IQ, and potentially BamSEC (though I still prefer that UI) and provide you with aggregation capabilities at a much lower cost (though obviously …
Different in lots of ways. Each vendor above has things that are unique. Bloomberg is a necessity for my role, but the AS like product they have (Docusearch) doesn’t compare. Alphasense is worth the money right after Bloomberg and Visible Alpha (which is significantly cheaper). …
