Oracle DaaS is a subscription-based marketing intelligence platform which leverages Oracle's 2014 acquisitions Datalogix and BlueKai. Oracle DaaS for Marketing provides anonymous multi-channel data for marketers, and Oracle DaaS for Social provides social and enterprise data.
Alphasense is a one-stop shop for quality data available in various formats. The information available is relevant to employees in the Research department, from Finance to Software Engineering, and the platform's functionalities only increase when considering the integrations available. Finally, customer service is top-notch, given your assigned contact and the live chat feature found on the platform.
As a small company, there is a bit critical to choose Daas as the plans are high and support is available but not at that much priority. A company that wants to invest in the future can go with that. As every software has it's own pros and cons using the Oracle Daas we can build the best future sales planning and DB integration with our consumers to support worldwide level code.
AlphaSense is a very useful tool and is reasonably priced for our organization. While I may not be a hyper-active user, it's a great resource when I need to quickly do a competitive landscape survey, review publicly available documents (transcripts, etc.), or review Wall Street research
AlphaSense beats anything else I've ever used by a mile. It's not even close. I've never had access to a single portal with so much information, which is so easy to search through, and set up dashboards and alerts. By adding a feature to help synthesize my searches into more immediately usable bits, my rating would go to a perfect 10.
The availability of Alphasense is great. I have used the software for multiple years and cannot remember ever having an outage issue. This is surprising actually, as I use other software applications that do not have regular outages, but still have outages periodically. Alphasense, on the other hand, never seems to have any outages. Good sign if I can't remember the software not working :).
Loading or performing searches on AlphaSense platform is reasonably fast for most of the time. However, it is sometimes unacceptably long for me to load PDF files (earnings presentation, supplementary financial report) on AlphaSense. Certain features might also take very long time, such as loading for "similar tables" across EDGAR filings, or downloading tables from EDGAR filings
Customer support is very prompt. I get personalized support for search recommendations and content that I could not find in my own search. Support checks in with me on a bi-monthly basis to keep me informed of the many different feature additions, I cannot find a more kind, understanding, and supportive team.
The person was prepared, attentive, understood the nature of my questions, was willing to work through any difficulties or misunderstandings, was patient, and super pleasant to work with. Great customer service.
Trainers address the basics, and such training was meant for new users. Instructions are really helpful by providing scenarios that our team will face in our daily tasks. It will be more thoughtful if the training is conducted by case studies so as to allow new users to get first-hand experience during the training.
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 highlighting/notes function (and ability to save notes/highlights) differentiates it. Obviously Bloomberg, FactSet, and Eikon have a broader set of capabilities (stock performance, consensus data, valuation, etc.), but for the areas that AlphaSense focuses on, it is much more intuitive/user-friendly.
The sharing features provides by AlphaSense mean that it can be readily scaled for teams within an organization and, subject to compliance requirements, with client organizations. The ability to share annotations of transcripts and investor releases is valuable, and facilitates collaboration between analysts.
AlphaSense has allowed us to generate deeper competitive insights. For example, we conducted an in depth analysis of the aerial data analytics (drone) industry, and AlphSense helped us narrow in on the market leaders and their various strengths / weaknesses.
AlphaSense has improved our team's overall efficiency. With Stream in particular, we are able to pinpoint insights in a matter of minutes through the transcript feature as opposed to having to conduct a series of calls ourselves. This is a significant time saver.
AlphaSense has allowed us to make more informed decisions on our public holdings by providing us with unfettered access to equity research analyst reports.
