"Our portal is a huge part of what we've accomplished in the last year in terms of scaling globally. We reach over 300 analysts and it's a time saver for us. The analysts love it, too, and we have everyone from our independent analysts to the major firms looking at our content on the portal. We all need to optimize our time and this tool is essential for that."

Frequently asked questions

How is AR Connect different from traditional analyst portals, including the one ARInsights has offered for years?

Unlike traditional analyst portals, AR Connect gives AR teams meaningful engagement metrics: which analysts are viewing content, how much time they’re spending with it, what they’re bookmarking to return to later, etc. These metrics play a vital role in proving the ROI of AR. Plus, AR Connect comes with AI content generation tools and native collaboration tools that allow teammates to work together on content just as they would in a Google doc.

We’re sunsetting it. With AR Connect, you can do everything you did with Analyst Portal—plus so much more.

Don’t worry—you get automatic access to AR Connect, and we’ll make the transition painless. We’ll help you migrate content and ensure that the analysts who have access to your current portal have no interruption in service.

An analyst portal is a secure site where a vendor publishes content for analysts to consume. What makes an analyst portal secure is the fact that it’s only accessible to analysts whom the vendor has given access.

Analyst portals are beneficial to both the analyst relations professionals who manage them and the analysts who access them. For AR teams, benefits include the ability to efficiently communicate with a large number of analysts and the peace of mind knowing that analysts are basing their research on up-to-date information (whereas emailing static files creates the risk of analysts referring to outdated information during research). For analysts, benefits include knowing where to go to find information about vendors and getting access to content that is curated specifically for analysts (whereas corporate websites tend to be curated for buyers).

As an analyst relations professional managing an analyst portal, the essential features of your user experience are: the ability to draft, publish, and edit content; the ability to apply your corporate branding to the portal’s design; the ability to dictate which analysts have access; and the ability to see how analysts interact with the content you publish.

ARInsights’ AR Connect is the best analyst portal software because it gives AR teams the advanced engagement metrics they need to prove ROI. Other key differentiators of AR Connect include AI content generation tools and native collaboration tools.
