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.

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

"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 become a core part of our research workflow, especially for speeding up competitive intelligence and making information gathering much more efficient."
"AlphaSense has positively impacted my organization, and I have seen a significant time saving in research, about fifty to seventy percent."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"AlphaSense has positively impacted my organization by saving time on routine tasks."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"When compared with other products, this product is very good because it's easy to move from primary to secondary sites. With other products, you need to build everything from the base. With Oracle Data Cloud, you can move from the primary to the secondary and return back to the primary by a very simple command, and you never lose data."
"It's a very robust solution, especially for the environment that you move onto the cloud."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
 

Cons

"AlphaSense can be improved with more accurate data."
"AlphaSense could improve its dashboard customization and make some advanced filtering options more intuitive for new users."
"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."
"I would improve the Excel plugins, which are already present."
"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."
"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"The price in the subscription, for those who may want to subscribe to the cloud as a customer, keeps those potential customers from even considering it as a solution."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"The solution needs to improve the creation process for server fonts and the usability and scripting methodology."
"Even though the price was not bad for our purposes, I think Oracle should open up their software service more to customers by bringing the pricing down for the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."
"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
