A+ for Team, product and overall ease of business!

Reviewed 5 years ago

I have been very happy with their service and product. My rep can be reached practically 24hrs a day. They are always ready to help.

Pros

The software and platform are both simple yet in depth. I can do as much or little as I want.

Cons

I have no cons to report at this time. We received the newest version of their two way cams.

This is the worst company on the earth!!!! Keep away.

Reviewed 3 years ago

I called them billion time, no communication.

Pros

I purchased trailer GPS from Samsara, even though I didn't open the box, they don`t offer returns and try to charge me crazy, 1 years service fee. Keep away this steeler.

Cons

Horrible costumer support. Never pick up the phone, costumer support does not anything about products.

VERY Good system, could use a little more durability

Reviewed 6 years ago

Overall, I am very happy with Samsara and would continue to recommend the system to others. They are very responsive and quick to help resolve any issue that do arise and it never feels like I have to "battle" to get a resolution.

Pros

The system is very easy to set up and use. The dashboard is very intuitive and and navigation is simple. The accuracy in which the system tracks the trucks is outstanding.

Cons

The durability in the hardware could use a little upgrade. They are great at swapping out defective units (or ones that go bad after a time) but it feels like we are doing this far too often in some of our trucks. Now we run a LOT of units and have over 60 units in various construction grade environments, but it still feel like we are replacing units too often.

Samsara is a great tool for tracking vehicles and safety compliance

Reviewed 3 months ago

Samsara is outstanding! It is an easy to use system for vehicle tracking, safety compliance and vehicle data.

Pros

Samsara is a great tool for tracking vehicles and safety compliance. Easy to use and the email safety alerts are very useful. Samsara is very accurate with location and data info. The helicopter mode is great to monitor drivers. This is an easy to use tool that works great! Thanks

Cons

I have not seen any cons the system has exceeded my expectations.

Nice System

Reviewed 2 years ago

In general it has been a great experince, I can have in real time miles per truck, location, even pictures from the camera.

Pros

This software has a good interface, the look and feel is nice. It is not soo hard to set up the company and we can be pretty independent on setting up drivers, tucks, etc. I like the integrations section, it allows me to integrate all my operations.

Cons

I think the help center is not good at all, I mean sometimes it takes to much to get a reply and I do not feel the resources center or documentation is enough to understand and use all the capabilities of the application

Beware once you sign on

Reviewed 4 years ago

software is not the best out there but we needed some functionality they could provide for some lift equipment. We use keeptruckin for the rest of our fleet. However you would think a simple name change on the account would be easy. This is the first time Ive needed to update my account and it has been a nightmare. Cannot believe the hoops you have to jump through. We will never renew with them.

Pros

had some functionality we needed initially

Cons

Once you sign on, they are difficult at best to work with.

Vendor response

Hi Neal, thanks for your note. We want to help address your concerns and understand you have been working with our team to get this sorted. Please feel free to reach back out to us at 415-329-6900, and with proper documentation we can help make these changes.

Easy to install and use

Reviewed 4 months ago
Pros

I like that Samsara is very easy to install and setup. The phone app is very useful on service call to locate the driver. Great for dispatch to plan when drivers should be back to the yard.

Cons

The camera could have better viewing area in some trucks but still not horrible.

Samsara for the win!

Reviewed 4 months ago

We love our experience with Samsara. When we have issues the technicians are so great to speak with and we have always had our troubles fixed.

Pros

I love Samsara for how easy it is to maneuver. When a driver get caught in traffic, I’m their eyes in the sky.

Cons

We haven’t really found anything we don’t like.

Samsara Review

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

It is very easy to use and accurate. The vehicle maintenance information and diagnostics is very convenient.

It is rare but every once in a while there are glitches on vehicle numbers in the app. It will show wrong vehicle number and then correct itself after a bit.

Among the worst business decision I've ever made.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Appearance. The software looks slick in their demo presentation. Features such as Quickbooks, Fuel Card & ELD integration were key features that I was looking. The bonus was the mobile app for drivers. My first impression was that had everything I needed and more.

Cons

Appearances can be deceiving. While everything looked great, it functions horribly. The ELD is Samsara and it is a terrible ELD option and the only option they had when I signed up. They other options but will not let me change. The TMS software seems incomplete and very glitchy. The tablet & mobile app is also very glitchy and temperamental. While they claim that it's set up to never lose it's...

Clean and easy to use interface

Reviewed 5 years ago

tremendous. the customer service and response we have experienced with Samsara is ultimately what made us choose them over other providers

Pros

My favorite aspect of Samsara is the intuitive feel of the interface. When we were discerning on which ELD and telematics provider to choose, Samsara's program felt as if i had been operating it for years. the menus are very easy to navigate.

Cons

I wish that there was a mobile app for administrators, rather than the web browser, as sometimes im not by my desktop or laptop.

Small fleets look elsewhere

Reviewed 2 years ago

very negative

Pros

no pros, there's nothing to it, never got to try it,

Cons

never got to try it since they basically do not care about small fleets, it was impossible to get a hold of anyone. I have friends that are using the software, and they gave me contact info for Samsara and after getting a hold of those multiple contacts we kept getting told that it is a self service for small fleets. So we filled everything out on their website and got an answer after a long while. In a meantime started using a competitors product, whose customer service where more than happy to assist without any delays.

Dissatisfied

Reviewed 2 years ago

My overall experience with Samsara has been the worst. Not only do they force you to keep devices for 3 years even when your trucks are no longer working/total loss due to accidents. You continue to pay for non working equipment. Customer service doesn't try to resolve matters.

Pros

software works great easy to use no issues while trucks were moving.

Cons

No issues with software. I didn't have any.

Feature-rich platform with intuitive UI

Reviewed 6 years ago

Before using Samsara, we had no visibility over the location of our fleet, no way to verify the safe driving habits of our drivers, and mileage was tracked on paper. Samsara has solved these problems for us.

Pros

The platform's intuitive design makes it easy to get up an running quickly, and training new users is a breeze. Realtime GPS tracking, event-based alerts, and the ability to remotely view engine fault codes are super helpful for managing our fleet.

Cons

The routing feature could be improved by adding priority-based stops instead of time-based stops. This use case would work well for our on-site service team that can spend anywhere from 5 minutes to 4 hours at the customer's location.
