AlternativeSoft and Dynamo Software were built to solve fundamentally different institutional problems.

AlternativeSoft is purpose-built for institutional alternative investment analytics — covering fund screening, peer group analysis, portfolio construction, risk monitoring and AI-powered due diligence. An analytics platform for allocators making and monitoring investments, not managing pipelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

AlternativeSoft is a quantitative analytics platform for institutional allocators — covering fund screening, peer group analysis, portfolio construction and AI-powered due diligence. Dynamo Software is a CRM and deal management platform for investment managers — focused on relationship tracking, pipeline management and fundraising rather than quantitative investment analysis.
For quantitative analytics, peer benchmarking, risk monitoring and AI-powered due diligence, AlternativeSoft provides capabilities Dynamo does not offer. For CRM and fundraising pipeline tracking, Dynamo has dedicated functionality. Many institutions use both tools for their respective purposes.
Dynamo Software does not provide institutional-grade quantitative peer group analysis. AlternativeSoft provides peer group analysis across 500,000+ funds with 4,000+ ranking statistics, custom peer group building and distribution visualisation.
AlternativeSoft includes research notes, manager records and due diligence documentation management but is not a dedicated CRM. For full CRM capabilities alongside quantitative analytics, AlternativeSoft and a dedicated CRM tool are often used in combination.
AlternativeSoft is specifically designed for institutional fund due diligence — AI-powered DDQ completion, ODD workflow management, compliance flagging and centralised documentation. Dynamo includes some document management but lacks the AI-powered analytical depth of AlternativeSoft's dedicated ODD platform.
