"The best tool to work with the data"

4.5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

To be honest, I must say that this tool actually makes my work easy, because in huge data & reports, sometime I get tangled up & felt many times messed up but with the use of this, it really helps to understand, analyze it perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

The only thing is feel bit overwhelming when you are gathering and analyzing the data all at once, as it takes sometime to make it happen - otherwise everything is good , I believe that this feature should be bit fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great app."

4.5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

Easy to navigate, the most accurate and available loads no matter where I was traveling. It really was the only loadboard worth paying for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

Most of the loads posted on DAT are posted multiple times (as much as 30 times for the same load), this makes it very time consuming and annoying to say the least.

DAT claims to be helping to prevent fraud but fraud continues to run rampant with many load posters stating ‘email only’ and posting gmail addresses that have nothing to do with the original brokers email address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DAT iQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am in charge of vendor management for my company. We are a national account for DAT. Dat always replies quickly when we have questions or problems and they are working hard to solve the impersonation issues they are having. I recently had a call with them and it went very well. I have been working recently on getting our score up in the DAT DIRECTORY by getting carriers who we work with regularly to review us. It's going well. The ONLY minor complaint I have is that I made my nickname something silly and now I can't change it. I wish i could. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool for both short term and long term freight market strategy"

4/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

The ability to go back up to 12 months on any lane and have the Rateview comparisons for those specific times makes it possible to actually compare company performance to the market. The filters for lane consistency help me a lot in identifying long term and short-term lane issues along with RFP strengths and weaknesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

I would love to see a more detailed breakdown on order level. Currently I only see data for an individual lane but there is no breakdown of the orders. For example, if I have a lane that is 15% above Rateview with 10 loads, it is currently difficult to ascertain that if we are generally buying more expensive on all loads or was there a single load that is skewing the whole lane negatively. Furthermore, I would also like a feature to be able to download the past performance for more than 12 months so that I can compare if we have improved or worsened in selected markets.

The price is a bit hígh to be honest if you have a small company, you can find similar tools for a better competitive rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DAT iQ Review"

5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

I truly love and enjoy the way DAT iQ is set up. It caters to my needs when I need to know what the current market trends are showing. Also, it does a lot of analytical background work that can really come in handy and can give you the overall perspective of how the company is performing overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

I currently don't dislike anything about DAT iQ. I use it much more than I use rateview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything you need - at a glance!"

3.5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

Real time market rates. Its great to see not only a map of what you're looking for, but to see how tight the market is alongside it super helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

The only thing we'd like to do is be able to use our own info/data. We're able to see basic market info, but it would be nice to add our own lane success to better determine pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DAT is a useful resource, but not the definitive resource."

5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

Quick availability of rates and the ability to put available loads out into the market rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

Rates are often misleading and do not represent an accurate depiction of the rates carriers are seeking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The user interface is really clean and for the most part operates as it should"

3.5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

I like the idea that all of the information is in one location. You are given multiple types of data to help you make an educated decision about pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

The downside is the accuracy of the data. Most times what we are covering the freight for does not reflect what DAT iQ shows, so it does make it challenging to provide accurate pricing to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Freight Tech Meets Freight Brokerage"

4/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

They are one of the few Freight Tech companies that understand the broker's perspective. They seem to actually implement fixes/updates based on feedback and recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

Many of their products hide behind expensive paywalls and there is not enough commentary about the definitions of the terminology used in their tools - hard to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
