Pinterest is an ideas and inspiration-oriented social media platform with commerce capabilities built in for businesses. Pinterest aims to bring a passionate, loyal audience who wants to try new things. Pinterest also boasts effective ads relative to other social media platforms, available in a wide variety of formats.
Meta Commerce Manager is well suited for posting content to semi-targeted users; posting is easy as a few clicks once content is created. Some of the tools are very easy to use. Back-end analytics are there, although it can be expensive or complicated how far your institution wants to drill down.

I guess it's good for house-type consumer goods or food. Not very good for the type of products I sell or anything that might be commercial in nature or B2B. At this point, I like it for backlinks and that's about it. Because of their hyper-restrictive TOS, It really does not have any other value for me.

The Pinterest interface is an organizational horror show. It is very easy to get lost when moving from one module to another.
They appear to have brutally bad internal communications between departments. After inserting their "tag" onto my site they looked at my prouduct line and decided it violated their TOS. OK, I get that. As I said earlier, a lot of social media companies have an issue with hemp-based products. I deleted the tag and now they keep reminding me that I need to install the tag so they can complete the process to make me a verified merchant. Hey Pinterest, figure it out1 Not that hard!
Their online seminars are a joke. They are nothing more than cheerleading sessions for Pinterest true-believers. If you want to actually learn something about online marketing avoid their seminars.
BTW, Pinterest is not good with criticism of any type. I tried constructive criticism and got whacked from their mailing list. I can;t imagine how they might react to the above comments.
Site navigation isn't the best, but there are many tools available for you to use. Plenty of data on metrics and everything else you would be looking for on a platform like this.

You can only contact support via Facebook Messenger. They are fairly quick to respond, but cannot always help you. When items get falsely flagged as inappropriate for the platform, it is a crap shoot whether or now submitting them to be re-evaluated will pan out.

It is inferior to all of those products, but since there are zero listing fees and zero commissions it is worth the effort to use it. I have already mentioned all of the pros & cons, so will not bother to do so again here.

I really haven't found any other product like Pinterest so I can't make a comparison. The sad thing about Pinterest is it has a lot of potential value for business people and companies and could/should be doing a lot better. Unfortunately, they perpetually get in their own way, over and over and over again.
