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

Pros

"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."
"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 best feature AlphaSense offers is the ability to conduct research, and the speed of the research tool is what makes it valuable for me."
"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."
"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 technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The reliability and stability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is adequate, with only one or two moments in these four and a half years when Oracle Cloud had some issues, and there have been no recent issues."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription basis, so you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, and you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."
"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."
 

Cons

"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."
"AlphaSense can be improved with more accurate data."
"AlphaSense could improve by incorporating an Excel API so that I can extract the information more easily directly with an Excel plugin."
"I would rate AlphaSense's customer support as lacking since I have not had any experience."
"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."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."
"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 integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"The roadmap from Oracle is quite unclear."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
"The solution is overpriced."
"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."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"The subscription cost is too high."
"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."
