What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

I appreciate the level of detail available in the information you can access, as well as how simple it is to generate graphic reports using the Visual View. I also find it useful to have the option to save queries and have them automatically updated on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

When you need to filter by HS Codes, you have to submit each filtered item one at a time, which is quite time-consuming. Additionally, we have noticed that some of the data is not very accurate, such as the weight per pedimento. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

I find Descartes Datamyne extremely valuable for streamlining my job of finding prospective customers, particularly US importers. The platform significantly enhances my workflow efficiency by eliminating guesswork and providing direct access to the exact importer profiles I need. I am impressed with the one-on-one training it provides, as it has armed me with techniques to use the software more efficiently. I appreciate the ability to rapidly download the specific data I need, such as exporter information from Texas and generating a large number of leads, within just one minute. The ease of setting up Descartes Datamyne was impressive, further adding to its appeal. These aspects make it an indispensable tool in my toolset, reflected by my highest recommendation rating of 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Trade Insights with Room for Smoother Performance and Integration"
What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

Descartes Datamyne provides a clear and detailed view of import and export trade activity, making it extremely useful for identifying potential customers, understanding market trends, and tracking competitors. The search filters and data visualization tools make it easy to narrow down results by product, port, or company, which saves a lot of time. I especially like the accuracy and depth of shipment data — it helps validate business intelligence and supports sales outreach with real numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

While the platform is very powerful, it can sometimes feel slow or clunky when running larger searches, and the interface could be more modern or intuitive. Some smaller importers/exporters may not always appear in the dataset right away, which can make it harder to track certain niche markets. Exporting data to Excel or integrating it with CRM tools could also be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

Adding Cas numbers section for chemicals imports. Also, punctuations and grammar errors still exist that needs to be improved. Some of the master bill of lading are missing, needs to be checked on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Datamyne"
What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

I have used the both the web version and the API over hundreds of hours. Overall it is a great product. Customer service is still excellent. The data quality is also excellent. I highly recommend Datamyne for any organization who must analyze trade data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

API customer support has improved. I noticed that some databases through the API were occasionally not updated. However, after Datamyne was notified, they were updated in reasonable time. Access to the databases through an LLM or AI would be helpful - higher subscription prices or fees can be warranted for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan Dennis of Descartes Datamyne

"Datamyne portal and API documentation."
What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

The customer support of Descartes Datamyne is exceptional. I signed up for the data that Datamyne has to offer, so we use it in our drayage business. However, I was very impressed by the customer support and how good the Descartes Support and Sales team is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

The Datamyne web portal is slow to load. The navigation is funky. Once you get the hang of it, it makes sense, but it is still slow to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Datamyne - Used for US seaborne import"
What do you like best about Descartes Datamyne?

Datamyne is quite useful to track trade flows on a weekly basis. Since most trade data has a monthly frequency, having a tool that enables to extract high frequency trade is very beneficial to business. Plus, the extraction to excel is quite easy and to integrate into reports. Has good training support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes Datamyne?

Ease of implementation is a bit tough, since Interface requires getting some used to. Filtration isn't very straightforward, and the raw data required quite a lot of cleaning to be used for further analysis. Also has a limit to download a particular no of rows at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
