Pros

The implementation team was amazing and made sure the setup process was very easy. The dashboard of the program is great and the integration with my other favorite software is on point.
I feel that we are a safer fleet now. I am overall very happy with the system and would recommend it.
Super friendly staff, getting the program implemented from start to finish was easy with samsara staff helping us through the process.

Pros

Very good from first call and through onboarding. Customer service has been responsive and helpful.
I absolutely love the support we get from our local representatives like [SENSITIVE CONTENT] , [SENSITIVE CONTENT. Any issue that arises is always resolved in a matter of hours or days.
This has worked pretty good. Some like their smart phones and others like to use the tablets installed in our trucks.

Cons

At times there have been data problems. It is rare and data is never lost just needs to be recovered.
Horrible experience, completely cannot count on this product.
Poor communication, too difficult to get anyone to help you, always blame issues on something else. Never works when I need it, I completely cannot depend on this product.

Cons

I hate searching addresses or seeing how far away a tech is from their destination. It is hidden and hard to use.
Customer service was horrible. Every time I had to deal with them, I couldn't get an answer to my question.
Sometimes, the dashboard can be a little confusing to find what you are looking for.

Geotab

A Perspective from 20 Years in Heavy Truck

Reviewed a year ago

We approach Geotab from a different perspective than many. We have been doing professional services training, implementing, and supporting Transportation Management Systems for 20 years. We have worked with all the major competitors in that time, including Qualcomm/OmniTracs, PeopleNet/Trimble, KeepTrucking/Motive, Samsara, Platform Science, Orbcomm, and others.Geotab is a unique product. We have...

Pros

Geotab captures and aggregates real-world data like no other system we've ever seen. You can watch a truck pulling out of the parking lot in real-time or look back a year ago at exactly how a driver backed into a dock over multiple attempts. You can reconstruct what happened in an accident second-by-second, or re-evaluate all the times your drivers entered or exited a specific location over the entire...

Cons

Their greatest strength is also their kryptonite. The features are so forward looking and Geotab is continually releasing new ones... it can be difficult to keep legacy systems up to speed with them. "Traditional" players (Qualcomm/OmniTracs, PeopleNet/Trimble) defined how data would be fed to back-end systems over 20 years ago, and most Transportation Management Systems still use those patterns today.The quality and volume of Geotab data is in a whole new league. Finding a middle ground to emulate the "Traditional" data feeds while also updating those TMS platforms to use the data available through Geotab is an ongoing challenge, but well worth the effort.
