What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

Descartes is an excellent platform for consulting import information. For the sector I am in (forestry) in Mexico, it is essential to monitor imports because Mexico is a country that imports more than 50% of the wood consumed in the country. Descartes' information allows us to stay informed to make better decisions about our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

Everything is excellent, perhaps the only area I would improve is having the most up-to-date information and not waiting 1 month to be able to consult it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Descartes Datamyne solving and how is that benefiting you?

The forestry-industrial sector in Mexico presents many challenges and opportunities, given that imports play a very important role in the country, staying informed is vital to making better decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

The thing I like most about the system is the commercial insight gained through trade data at a granular level which is otherwise not easy to obtain. It is extremely easy to use with some basic training and understanding of the tool and has become a functional and regular piece of my data gathering portfolio. While not often utilized, the customer support has been very good when needed, providing good information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

Much of the automated additional bill of lading level detail is very good, however, for my industry specifically the HTS automated coding can be off which causes a number of issues when searching by HTS. As such, I've stopped using HTS as a filter for my datasets opting for keywords and then cleansing the resulting data as this yields much more reliable results. Similarly. the aggregation stats are often misleading as I find quite a lot of my data requires some level of further cleansing to remove erroneous results. That being said, this is quite possibly an industry specific observation and is minor inconvience for an aspect of the system that I do not typically utilize.

What problems is Descartes Datamyne solving and how is that benefiting you?

Datamyne forms a portion of our market research and helps validiate other information we receive from less reliable sources. It also proves be far more realistic than USITC Trade Web Data as you can see data at a per shipment level of detail. Essentially, it helps us form a better understanding of the US import market and helps us track competitor shipments into the USA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
