Pros
All the data are genuine and the pricing is very good. For those who wish to try out ImportYeti premium feature, I do recommend to do so.
I get the scoop on where the big guys in my industry are sourcing their products...along with all the data I need to get the full scope in a super easy to navigate and user-friendly interface.
I wholeheartedly recommend it for its exceptional simplicity and powerful performance.
I really am grateful for this information. When you are a beginner brand, you want to be able to work with manufacturers who have experience and quality to ensure the success of your brand.
Cons
Was at first difficult to understand and sort thru.
I don't like how there isn't much contact information for some supply companies.
The first time I hear about ImportYeti was a shock.
Bit hard to navigate sometimes. You need to use it a bit before you understand everything.

"ImportYeti"
Pros: Highly recommend the ImportYeti website. Very impressive product in the sheer availability of data from the universe of the US bills of lading data provided and a lot of the data is summarized on the website for free with fantastic visualizations. The API feature allows everyone to quickly subset and research relevant data in bulk, which is great for more systematic studies. Some additional data cleaning that the team did (e.g. the provision of HS codes, addresses etc) helps a lot in research applications. The team is incredibly helpful and supportive with the product -- [sensitive content hidden] was very generous with his time to walk me through the data intricacies and how to use API, which I found incredibly helpful.
Cons: I am very much looking forward to the company expanding further beyond the US imports to other countries in the future. The work this team is doing is fantastic!

"Review from a new user"
Pros: I've only recently started using it for research and from my limited usage I can see the vast applicability and relevance it has in several domains and sectors. The entire platform is very user-friendly and visually appealing while not compromising on quality in the least. More than anything the [sensitive content hidden] will personally respond to any feedback or suggestions you share, which is really a pleasant surprise. Great value for money, even the free trial offers a fair amount of features. Altogether, it's a no brainer utilizing Import Yeti and I would highly recommend to any and everyone!
