I don't want to go into detail on how we use AlphaSense at Hussmann because of the competitive nature of our industry. But we use all of the features that AlphaSense currently has made available and we have no complaints whatsoever. AlphaSense is more than a platform, it's become a partnership and we value our relationship with AlphaSense tremendously.
  • Find intelligence
  • Provide a very wide net of accessible information
  • Sensitivity analytics around topics we focus on
  • Working with us as a partner not a meal ticket
  • Targeted emails with information that I care about
Cons
  • Better information on private companies
I have used intelligence platforms like AlphaSense's for many years and as a new kid on the block, they have started from a foundation of what works and has made the entire process practically effortless. We have set up pertinent dashboards and watchlists and have a very well defined stream of intelligence coming in through AlphaSense's platform. The text analytics embedded in the platform is fantastic as is the ability to grab financial data for multiple companies and multiple years or quarters. Suffice it to say, AlphaSense's in-platform analytical features are very useful and a welcome addition to this type of service.

We are very happy with not only the platform's access to information and it's ability to help us analyze it, but we work closely with the AlphaSense team throughout the year and they are a pleasure to work with. Definitely the kind of partner that Hussmann Corp. values.

AlphaSense allows us to quickly understand industry dynamics and is a powerful tool to leverage when comparing financials between competitors. Something that previously may have taken one or two days is now easily pulled together in a morning using the search engine, allowing our team to be more productive without having to grow headcount.
  • 10K/Q Research
  • Disclosure Comparison
  • Peer Analytics
Cons
  • Stock Information
  • Consensus Information
  • Cedar Filings ease of obtaining info
Peer Analytics is an area where AlphaSense thrives.....being able to do detailed Disclosure Comparisons, perform industry Benchmarking as well as research comparative MD&A sections allows for market intelligence we did not previously have. Additionally, being able to see how others are talking about their business in prepared remarks helps us better gauge market sentiment.

AlphaSense is the Best (by far) for Market, Customer, and Competitor Research - From A Strategist

We use AlphaSense to understand multiple perspectives on the outlook of the segments in which we operate. Between the analyst reports and the transcripts, we are able to get a great view of our markets. I particularly use the "nested" search capabilities to dig into specific areas of interest.
  • Transcripts
  • Analyst reports
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Search capabilities
Cons
  • Financial detail is lacking
AlphaSense is the best tool for strategists who need to understand markets, customers, and competitors. In my opinion, it is not the best product for deep financial analysis, as there are better tools for financial analysis. However, there is no better tool (that I've found) for strategic research.

Love AlphaSense!

I use it to learn about new markets and technologies, particularly by viewing corporate documents and equity research reports. I use this as a starting point in my comprehensive research process, which I find particularly helpful for. I especially like the advanced Artificial intelligence based search methods and analytical capabilities embedded directly within the user interface.
  • Finding equity research reports
  • Finding company documents no longer on their website
  • finding names of competing companies
Cons
  • The page counter system always makes me feel like I have to use the site strategically and in a low-resource manner, I would prefer unlimited access
  • The search often pulls up irrelevant items
  • the analytical capabilities are advanced, but I think there's room for improvement
I think anyone responsible for researching and evaluating new technologies, products, mechanisms of action, or new biology, would be greatly benefited by having all of the corporate world's information at their fingertips. This would be useful for analysts, managers, and directors primarily, although more senior individuals certainly benefit from having people on their team having access to AlphaSense.
