What do you like best about AlphaSense?

• We found some of the expert reports available online useful.

• The product was on average meeting our expectations during active investment projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

• The AI engine did not deliver valuable answers to our specific requests.

• The team was very displeased by the lack of customer/account support except for collecting fees.

• Alphasense strictly refused to consider our request to terminate the contract with a 30-day notice instead of the required 90-day notice period, lacking needed flexibility in investment-business

• Other information partners like CapIQ and Mergermarket have shown much greater flexibility, making them preferable options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been user of Alphasense for one year as we wanted to test the AI functionality in helping our searches for targets and comps (we are a multi-family office investing in direct PE and VC). We used the platform for one year with a frequency of a dozen searches per week when we were on active investment projects. The product was on average meeting our expectations (i.e. we found some of the expert reports available online useful, on the other hand the AI engine was not delivering valuable answers to our specific requests). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brittnee Dawson of AlphaSense

We strive to build strong, responsive partnerships. Your input is valuable as we continue improving, and we’d welcome the opportunity to discuss further — please feel free to reach out directly.

What do you like best about AlphaSense?

Alphasense is unique in its ability to scrape and find various keywords, trends, data across publicly available documents. Ad hoc projects that use to take hours and hours to find data through available documents are now easily done in an hour or two. Plus the wide access to sell-side research is incredible and unparalleled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

Research use is a little hard to track, you have to ask how much research you have downloaded and how much you have left. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Alphasense is helping me quickly find out what our peers or other companies are doing around difficult to find numbers and subjects. For example, if I want to find out what a list of companies said about interest rates in their last earnings call, it would take me hours to comb through and find out the key takeaways from their transcripts. With Alphasense, it would take me 15 min to find the key takeaways I need. It's a massive time save. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AlphaSense?

AlphaSense is a very complete platform, giving me access to reports from companies and investment analysts fast accurately. In our job of market intelligence we use AlphaSense at least every month for every report. Their AI tool helps to expedite my job by helping with the analysis of texts and giving automatic outlooks of companies, which is easy to use and makes onbording new team members easy as well. AlphaSense customer service is always ready to help and we have many touchpoints through the year. Implementation is also easy since the AlphaSense team offer courses and training sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

It's not always easy to integrate the collaborative tools in our internal processes. We still need more discipline to use the notebooks properly and it's something that could have more features to facilitate collaboration in more intuitive ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

AlphaSense solves the problem of having to look for and digest market information from multiple sources. It benefits us by saving a lot of time of research and reading since the AI search and summary tools do a lot of the heavy lifting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AlphaSense?

The combination of research, filing, web search, and expert transcripts with the LLM / generative search capability is a solution unlike any other available in the market. It is a massive efficiency unlock in terms of getting smart on an industry or sector. We use it almost every day.

Customer support is good and the platform is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

The audio functionality is not good. There is audio frequently missing from calls. If the audio is available, it is not anonymized as with Tegus.

Additionally - there are some small features that need UI tweaks. If you generative search on mobile and it cites a transcript, you can get a preview of the transcript pulled up from the generative search page, but there is no way to actually open the transcript properly.

The transcript library used to be small, but will probably be rectified with the Tegus acquisition.

The price is a bit rich, but I guess that's what you have to pay for best-of-breed.

These are mostly minor points (other than price), but I hope they address them soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to become smart on new businesses and sectors rapidly and understand what is going on - AlphaSense helps us do that faster and more quickly than anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AlphaSense?

I particularly like the clear layout and user interface. The workspace and results panels are clearly deliniated and which function works in which panel is easy to understand.

The partnership with our AlphaSense team, product specialist/customer success Catalina Ruiz-Jimenez is currently our key person to go to - invaluable support and guidance/suggestions.

I don't think there is a feature that is missing. My internal clients really like the ability to export charts and tables in excel format. Being able to share a summary pdf with another user that has AlphaSense account is a very efficient and powerful feature.

I use AlphaSense - every day and throughout the day not just once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

I would like to have more control on my user prefernces and keep them 'turned on' . I am always unchecking the default formats for downloading (I am never going to want the snippet highlighted) and I am never going to want the sentiments on in the output report. In my position that creates bias. I understand the value of the feature and appreciate it but I won't be using it. So I'd like to not have to turn it off each time. Also the default so all company mentions vs only primary mentions. I'd like to be forcused first then go broader if necessary but the default is all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining our competitive advantage. Competitive Intelligence. Very timely, real time information. We are watching competitors activities and analysts views on specific assests (ours and the competition) and the broader market areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

The UI/UX at times can be a bit cluttered and hard to zero in on what's most important. To me, this is mostly a function of the platform having so many features, so not necessarily a bad thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

AlphaSense helps me stay on top of my industry coverage and makes sure that I know about news/activities/developments/sentiment before my clients and competitors. This provids a significant competitive advantage in terms of being able to read the markets and stay ahead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AlphaSense?

I appreciate the ability to access market insights not otherwise available at your fingertips the way AlphaSense enables. Furthermore, we have access to information that we wouldn't have through normal Google or AI searches. Lastly, the new AI features, especially the summary reports, are appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

It's a bit costly, bordering on prohibitive for small or mid-sized companies. I think AlphaSense is acutely aware of who their core customer is and what the value is to that customer so I wouldn't expect a pricing change, but it is costly for a company our size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have deeper insights into niche industries we serve than we otherwise would. It benefits us by informing business decisions and informing the consultative nature of our business model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AlphaSense?

Having different dashboards for monitoring competitive events what ever it may be from a very broad array of sources such as company news, regulatory events, analysts' views or scientific publications is super helpful in ensuring we do not miss any important events. Daily reports are useful reminders and summaries of what is happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

There are some minor improvements I would like to see in how the dashboards work, but the very responsive AlphaSense team has already taken note of that feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping up-to-date with all developments in the competitive landscape. This allows us to ensure optimal positioning of our products now and in the future as well as to make informed decisions when we reach key milestones in product development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AlphaSense?

The most helpful tools of AlphaSense would be GenAI, Depth of Aftermarket Research and Expert Calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlphaSense?

The web platform can be troublesome at times, as it doesnt save my notes nor refresh in certain moments. I would also like if the calendar would reflect other information such as FDA dates for Biotechnology stocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlphaSense solving and how is that benefiting you?

AlphaSense is helping me solve the gap in Qualitative research within my analysis as prior to this I was constricted to Quantitaive research. Furthermore it has helped with idea generation, the vast levels of Aftermarket Rsearch and Expert calls has supported finding new ideas. Finally Generative Search function as support the speed at which I can generate analysis for my different reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
