Seeking Alpha

Avantages

Easy to use, great insights, wonderful community

Inconvénients

Improvement possible for sync brokerage accounts

Avantages

Charting with comparison's is my most used feature.

Inconvénients

Charts could be more modern and immediately produce a PDF upon request.

Avantages

Originally, the promise of real-time data.

Inconvénients

Features went away- and the team at SA never addressed the fixes.

Avantages

One of the things I love about Seeking Alpha is the range of contributors, which includes retail investors, financial professionals, and market analysts. It all helps in making well-rounded investment decisions. The metrics are thorough as well.

Inconvénients

Because the content is generated by a wide range of contributors, the quality of articles can vary. Some articles are well-researched, others might be based more on opinion rather than solid data.

Avantages

It enables us to gain good insights about a company. It is a great starting point to commence research on the stock.

Inconvénients

stock and ETF screener should be available to premium users.

Avantages

Nothing to like about this service. Articles are not designed for novice consumer although they claim otherwise. There are conflicting articles about same stock and there is no rating of reliability of data presented. It is up to you to evaluate each writer and article on your own. DO NOT subscribe.

Inconvénients

There is everything to dislike about this service. They are unclear, unmoderated comments and not designed for naive investors. They use your credit card information and put it on auto renew without sending you a renewal email so you never know and when you tell them about this, they refuse to refund.

Avantages

Timely reporting of time sensitive investment questions.

Inconvénients

I do not have one to one live support. Only needed it once, but it took several days and emails to resolve. One interactive call could have settled the issue in minutes.

Avantages

Seeking alpha has significant role in my investment decision. The app is very easy to use and rich of contents. . Highly recommended!

Inconvénients

High quality content, easy of use. I suggest a calendar with the macro events of the week with the possibility of setting notifications and linked with google calendar

Avantages

It aggregates information from various sources: quant, authors, and Wall Street.

Inconvénients

I had a problem linking an outside portfolio that uses 2-factor authentication. Support solved the problem when they discovered the one-time passcode could be entered at the end of the password.

Avantages

The interface is very easy to use and the ability to link your portfolio to see live updates is very helpful. I think the recommendations are good and the author articles are interesting.

Inconvénients

While my brokerage is linked, every time I purchase new shares it doesn’t seem to update on seekingalpha

Avantages

I liked nothing. Childish reviews and they will change terms of your free trial and charge a whole year and not refund. Stay far away!!!

Inconvénients

See above...total scam company. I wouldn't give them any information on your credit card

Avantages

I am a retired small investor who finds the different analysis of the various writers fascinating. Being retired and interested in retirement income I especially enjoy the Stanford chemist, and recently signed up for a new service called Alpha Picks which I hope will be productive. I am by no means a professional but I find the tracking and screening aspects of Seeking Alpha superior to my Schwab brokerage account. I also enjoy the Quantitative Analysis section of Seeking alpha run by a quant named [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

Inconvénients

Overall the quality of the writers/analysts is very good, but I wonder how much screening is done on the authors. Overall it is excellent software

Avantages

Nothing ! There is no good reason to support this company with their anti-user behaviour and dark UX patterns.

Inconvénients

The trial is not real and once you give them your credit card, they will charge you for a ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION AT ONCE. Be careful about a company that needs to resort to these kinds of tricks and scam.

Avantages

The feature that was most impactful for me was the marketplace. You can choose from various elements, from groups that will help you with commodities to those that will help your daily trade. I picked BadBeat Investing and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my trading career. Will be signing up and continuing with them as their record is excellent and so is their customer service. Very easy to understand communication so that you can get into and out of trade and will know why you are doing so. Perfect service for the newbie trader as well as seasoned.

Inconvénients

If I had to name a feature that I liked the least, it would be the layout of the website itself. It's not bad, it could just be improved. Petty I know but there is a con and that's it.

Avantages

i like how easy it is to find and research stocks and funds for my clients and my portfolio

Inconvénients

i don't like how it's not as good as Morningstar. it doesn't tell me the outlook on the stock or fund.

Avantages

Seeking Alpha is a wonderful tool that I use daily to analyze stocks that I may add to my portfolios. I'd highly recommend this product, and the wonderful folks, like [SENSITIVE CONTENT] who has recently helped me with a new feature. Customer service is REALLY GREAT!

Inconvénients

I cannot say what I like LEAST; I can say that I am glad and thankful that they are working all the time to improve their product -- a new to me "health score" comes to mind.

Avantages

The product is backed by a team of dedicated people seeking satisfaction of the customer. They go, in my case I can say, the extra mile to get the solution of any issue.

Inconvénients

I have not explore more than 40% of things in the app. Every time I think of anything, I find it in the app. Great

Avantages

Premium subscription which in itself is a huge data bank for investors and on the other hand I highly recommend the new products where they recommend the top stocks to invest(Alpha Picks) - adds great value

Inconvénients

Too many ads and suggestions - I would personally like fewer ads which are personalized to my investment style based on my data backtrack.

Avantages

Unique perspectives presented by content creators on SeekingAlpha allows me to make informed decisions.
By allowing linkage with popular trading platform like Interactive Brokers I can view my portfolio performance in quick glance.

Inconvénients

Share price movements are not updated in real time even with premium subscriptions, would love to use SA for all my investments monitoring decisions.

Avantages

I LOVE the news feeds for any target company I pick, as well as investor opinions and recommendations, and THE COMMENTS following investor opinion articles.

Inconvénients

I have ZERO complaints. The software has been flawless in use for over 3 years by me.

Avantages

Seeking Alpha (SA) has most statistics on individual stocks like the P/E ratio, Dividends paid and their frequency, Current earnings and future earnings. Just most of what an investor needs to be informed about a given stocks performance. It also provides access to quarterly and annual conference calls and SEC reports. It just has a plethora of information for investors, including articles written by professionals and lay people. I do recommend it as a good source of information for choosing stocks and managing a portfolio. You can also write articles and earn money/cash after they are published.

Inconvénients

Can't really think of much wrong with the site.

Avantages

Nothing spectacular about it. Their stock picks are not any better that Analyst ratings which you can get for free from your brokers.

Inconvénients

Definitely the comment moderation system. I don't understand why you have to wait for approval before your comment appears. This is so silly. How do you foster engagement with this silly idea?Comment approval can take more than 24 hours. PLEASE REMOVE THIS STUPID SYSTEM!

Avantages

Information and investment community. Reliable & factual analysis and views.

Inconvénients

Need more realistic stock portfolio investment simulation tool.

Avantages

I love the ammount of information that i can use and learn.

I love how easy it is to navigate through auch ammounts of information, very user friendly.

Inconvénients

I have no issues with seeking alpha's software, it's super reliable.

Avantages

Best stock analysis articles are on this app, best content hands down.

Inconvénients

Interface seems boring, nothing as cool as yahoo finance for example.
