Kayde Robert - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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 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."
"AlphaSense has positively impacted my organization by saving time on routine tasks."
"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 most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"We have found the stability of this solution to be extremely good in terms of uptime, availability, performance, and consistency."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"The product is easy to use and deploy."
"The flexibility is most valuable, because by having our infrastructure in the cloud we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed, and everything is working as we expect it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."
"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
 

Cons

"I would improve the Excel plugins, which are already present."
"I would rate AlphaSense's customer support as lacking since I have not had any experience."
"AlphaSense can be improved by having a mechanism to add comments inside my own notes."
"One area for improvement could be the high compute requirements for larger data sets that need to be improved."
"AlphaSense could improve by incorporating an Excel API so that I can extract the information more easily directly with an Excel plugin."
"AlphaSense could improve its dashboard customization and make some advanced filtering options more intuitive for new users."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."
"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"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."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
