What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

I've been using Datamyne daily for 7 years now, and I love being able to go to one website for nearly all of my import/export data searches. Making queries is straightforward for all available countries and the data reports are in a standardized format. I can also save queries and have monthly downloads emailed to me. The support team is always quick to answer any questions I have. The tool is intuitive and easy to learn how to use, and they offer training if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

Descrates Datamyne has been important source of information for data analysis such that they have data available on the portal for remote and geo-politically difficult countries like Russia. Their comprehensive and accurate trade data, combined with ardent and excellent customer service, has empowered its clients to make informed business decisions and stay ahead of market trends. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

The tool does not allow for multi-country searches, restricting to search one country at a time.

Some products are listed in Mexican/Spanish language, making it difficult to identify the correct product.

There's a substantial period of lag in updating data. For eg: Russia data comes with a lag of over 6 months, which may not be a tool issue but is important for some businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Need Trade Stats for better informed decisions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan Dennis of Descartes Datamyne

Thank you for the review! We are happy to hear your praise for Datamyne. If you would like to get support when searching data set for multiple countries, please work with your Data Specialist for hands on training.

What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

Always pro-actively reaching out if they can support with any insights Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

I would love a bit easier interface of staying in your favorites. If I do a search in my favourites and want to do another, I need to go back to home and first select the country again. For me, doing most of the searches in USA imports it would be ideal to just stay in that environment and only select a different search. Now I need to do one extra step by selecting a country again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
