Sales Manager at Unilever
Research management has transformed our earnings work and consistently saves over half our time
AlphaSense handles image and screen captures very well. The imaging screen capture feature helps my team in practice by making research notes more useful. Another valuable feature that AlphaSense offers is AI summaries of earnings reports. AlphaSense has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to publish notes in the system to ensure everyone has the latest thinking from coverage analysis.
reviewer2349654 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Oracle DBA at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AlphaSense has positively impacted my organization, and I have seen a significant time saving in research, about fifty to seventy percent."
"Extracting historical data from filings has saved me a lot of time since without AlphaSense I would have to open file by file and manually find the data myself."
"The best feature AlphaSense offers is the ability to conduct research, and the speed of the research tool is what makes it valuable for me."
"AlphaSense has positively impacted my organization by saving time on routine tasks."
"AlphaSense has become a core part of our research workflow, especially for speeding up competitive intelligence and making information gathering much more efficient."
"A specific outcome that shows how AlphaSense has helped my team is that it has saved our team between 40 to 55 percent of our time."
"One thing I wish more people knew about AlphaSense is that it is a complete database in itself."
"I have noticed improvements in decision-making speed, as it was taking three hours to analyze and manage the data, but thanks to AlphaSense, it is now done within a fraction of minutes."
"The solution is stable."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."
"Oracle Cloud offers more of the basic functionality needs than other cloud providers offer."
"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"It has good scalability."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
 

Cons

"I would improve the Excel plugins, which are already present."
"AlphaSense could improve its dashboard customization and make some advanced filtering options more intuitive for new users."
"One area for improvement could be the high compute requirements for larger data sets that need to be improved."
"I would rate AlphaSense's customer support as lacking since I have not had any experience."
"AlphaSense could improve by incorporating an Excel API so that I can extract the information more easily directly with an Excel plugin."
"AlphaSense can be improved by having a mechanism to add comments inside my own notes."
"AlphaSense can be improved with more accurate data."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"The user interface could be improved and be further simplified."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"In the market, they are still not the best, however, they are working on it."
