    Considered Both Products
    AlphaSense
    Chose AlphaSense
    Search and analysis of public market data - analyst feedback and management commentary: I would prefer AlphaSense over other
    Quant analysis of market data / charting: I would prefer S&P for Excel Plugins
    PitchBook: Proprietary private market and VC data
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense is largely complementary to CapIQ or Eikon. CapIQ and Eikon do offer research capabliities for an additional fee, though it's currently more cost effective to use AlphaSense. PitchBook is still a must have if you need to evaluate start-ups/private companies
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense's search engine for filings is powerful/more UI friendly than its competitors.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    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.

    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
    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 …

    Chose AlphaSense
    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.
    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 user-friendly, and I'm able to search for the information I need on a large scale.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    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 …
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    Some of the other products listed above provide much richer private market research than AlphaSense. AlphaSense does not provide their capabilities at the moment, and so we need multiple solutions for our goals. Eikon is more similar to AlphaSense. Their search capabilities are …

    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense is highly superior when it comes to Refinitiv in terms of ease of use, integration with multiple data sources, smart search result keyword highlights, and AI company summaries.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense is better in doing a search for quotes / comments. Eikon in better in extracting equity research reports
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    Easier keyword search for sure, though Eikon has a nicer summary of company documents per company.

    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.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense gives me market intelligence far better than the other tools. As a strategist, I need analyst reports, press releases, earnings transcripts, transcripts from corporate events (non-earnings), and materials shared in those events. AlphaSense is perfect for market, …

    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.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    We found the entire customer experience to be significantly better with AlphaSense than with Refinitiv. There are three key areas where AlphaSense was superior: 1. The price of AlphaSense was also lower and a better value 2. The user interface was more intuitive and faster to …
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense is a little cleaner than Refinitiv and S&P since it does not house financial information.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense has a superior search engine, which allows it to get very targeted research and news - thereby helping to cut down on noise, and improve efficiency and insights - which Factiva lags. On the other hand, it has more features compared to Sentieo or Amenity Analytics.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    It's a totally different tool vs financial terminals etc, much more focused on generation intelligence vs just monitoring capital markets. If you are looking for financial data AlphaSense is not your option, but for market/competitive intelligence, it's fantastic.
    Incentivized
    Chose AlphaSense
    AlphaSense is getting close to Bloomberg Terminal, yet still not yet there, as I have pointed out earlier. By market intelligence, Bloomberg Terminal can conduct more tasks than simple information search. For instance, they have teams of industry coverage or AI to conduct some …
