"Much better than other equity research platforms with a lot more on top"
What do you like best about AlphaSense?
The search function and integrations for the platform are much better than using FactSet, CIQ, or Eikon to pull equity research. The UI is clean and simple to use for this. Beyond that, since sources from news articles can be brought in I can do all of my research on one platform instead of a few to find some informationReview collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In addition to smart search technology, AlphaSense offers generative AI that is purpose-built for business professionals.
AlphaSense’s proprietary genAI tool, Smart Summaries, generates insights across all four key perspectives—company documents, news, expert calls, and broker research.
Sourced from across all broker research you are entitled to, published within the past 90 days, and covers sections including:
- Upgrades and downgrades – Covers which brokers have upgraded/downgraded this company within the past 90 days and why

In addition, AlphaSense offers many opportunities for forward-thinking organizations to collaborate with tools like shared editing, commenting, and document highlighting, as well as API integration functionality.
Users can easily prioritize equity research sources on the AlphaSense platform by filtering their search results by category or individual research provider.
There are two ways to do this: First, users can perform a search, then click “Research” under the search box to filter to see results from equity research sources only. Alternatively, users can click “More Sources” and drill down to specific providers based on firm or report type.
At the same time, users can be confident every important equity research source related to a given query will be included in their general search results, prioritized by relevance within the larger list of content sources.
Equity research is essential to stay in the know about how the market views your own company and your competitors, as well as to maintain an accurate view of your current market landscape, timely trends, and important industry news and events.
It’s not enough to rely on public-facing information crafted by companies themselves, which is designed to project the most positive outlook possible regardless of current market conditions.
The only way to gain objective, accurate views of individual companies or industries is through exclusive first-hand sources like the ones accessible on the AlphaSense platform—quarterly call transcripts, broker research reports, expert interviews, annual reports and the like.
Without this type of perspective, companies are left using ad-hoc research methods that often deliver incomplete insights and could result in costly business decisions.
With AI-based search functionality, you never have to use CTRL+F again because our AI automatically scans documents for keywords that are synonymous and relevant to your original search. That way, you get access to deeper information that would otherwise be impossible to find. You can then reallocate your time from manual work to higher-level analysis and strategic execution.
