    Considered Both Products
    AlphaSense
    Chose AlphaSense
    Capital IQ has more data but capital IQ is very clunky to use (it is very slow). Capital IQ lacks expert insight calls but has other data to offer including credit analytics
    BamSEC only has SEC documents and has integrated with Tegus expert calls. It is lighter on data and …

    Chose AlphaSense
    Compared to BamSEC it gives international company exposure
    All of our equity research is through Alphasense so Eikon isn't helpful
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    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 …

    Chose AlphaSense
    These databases are rather great at what they do. For example - MergerWare is great at M&A deals, BamSEC is great for company docs, etc. However, as an analyst, you have to craft information across these data sources which is what AlphaSense helps us with.

    Chose AlphaSense
    Deeper than BamSEC obviously (many more research sources and international companies) but UI on BamSEC is cleaner/better.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense's search engine for filings is powerful/more UI friendly than its competitors.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    • much more user friendly / efficient than FactSet
    • better search functionality within equity research reports, but more buffering required versus Refinitiv Eikon
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense is better in doing a search for quotes / comments. Eikon in better in extracting equity research reports
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    Found AlphaSense's search to be faster and more complete
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    fairly similar but i'm more used to AlphaSense layout and format
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    - Alphasense has better NLP algorithms for finding terms and their close proxies, a super 'control-F' feature

    - Alphasense is able to aggregate all sources of data (sell side, company, competitors) into one easier search feature
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense is the go-to source for research and industry news. While each competing program has it's unique abilities, AlphaSense is the clear frontrunner by a long margin when it comes to research and news. The search capabilities make it the easiest user-interface platform on …

    Chose AlphaSense
    Capital IQ is good for summary stats. They have a limited search feature for public company transcripts, however this is not nearly as deep as the search functions on AlphaSense
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense offers the richest combination of search capabilities and depth of information of any of these platforms.
    Incentivized
    BamSEC
    Chose BamSEC
    not even comparable. Koyfin would take much much longer to feed new filings than BamSec

    the only place this beats BamSec is the mobile website, i really hope BamSec can get their act together on that front
