Pros

“The core platform is strong, and I think continued improvements in APIs, third-party integrations, route automation, and interoperability could make it even more valuable for businesses like ours that operate dynamic delivery and rental fleets.”
PF

Phillip F.

CTO

“I use it in nearly every facet of my job, whether covering the data analytics, keeping track of our assets, communicating with drivers, or pulling video for training or insurance claims.”
TF

Travis F.

Office Admin

“Samsara ia a great product that provides for all my logging needs in one place, from quick access to driver logs and editing, to managing gayeways and vehicle locations.”
KH

Kim H.

Safety Director

Pros

“With all the features, location tracking, engine hours, the AEMP program that allowed me to add my equipment to the website, it is all good.”
Jz

Jeff z.

SHOP MANAGER

“THEY CLAIM THAT IN OUR ORIGINAL CONTRACT THERE IS FINE PRINT THAT STATES THAT "WRITTEN CANCELLATION NOTICE IS NEEDED 60 DAYS BEFORE CONTRACT EXPRIES OR THE CONTRACT WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY FOR 3 MORE YEARS!!!!!" ”
RS

Regan S.

“Personalized customer service with one rep who helped us anytime we had an issue”
DC

Daniel C.

fleet manager

Cons

“TICKET turn around time is a HUGE issue for me. When I open a ticket, I am in need of a QUICK resolution b/c the majority of the time, the issues is affecting my drivers logs and they can't drive until it's corrected or fixed.”
LK

Leanne K.

Admin Trainer Hours of Service Logs

“At times, many coaching alerts are generated that are barely actionable. If my team does not have logins or apps, scheduling behavior counseling is time-consuming.”
CM

Charles M.

Operations Manager

“I don't like the battery life on the AG-51 asset tracker when it comes to unpowered fleet assets that are on the road for extended periods of time as the batteries would die and would cause us to lose tracking on assets until batteries could be replaced.”
GL

Glenn L.

National Asset Manager

Cons

“No support or clue on fixing the issue of getting connected after 2 weeks.”
