We have now used footage to dispute damage claims and com out victorious. I am looking forward to the newer features that are coming out. > > **Cons**: I least like the self-coaching feature. The safety department I am in is small, and we review footage daily, but do not have the time to coach each driver. I wish that the self-coaching feature would not allow the driver to skip the assigned lessons. > > I give Samsara a 10 out of 10. Their technicians have quick response, are always polite and professional. Even with the updates I am still able to navigate not only the dashboard, but the Fleet app as well. ----- ### "Recommended solution for auto transport companies" — 5.0/5 > **Martin** | *26 May 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. Once the devices are installed, you don't have to do anythign aside from the very occasional adjustment of the camera view but that's very rare. > > **Cons**: Installation by many of our terminal managers was challenging. I personally am not one for installing things like this. It's hard, but not impossible to get the wiring hidden. > > Overall, the experience was above average. Customer support tends to be quick, but at times they can take a while to get to the core issue. Sometimes that's simply because the reporting person can't have the vehicle available to them at the time when support replies, so that's not on Samsara ----- ### "Competitors have tried to woo us away from Samsara, none have succeeded." — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *10 April 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use is what I like most about Samsara. From acquisition to day to day use the team has been great. I like that they check in periodically to see if there is more that than can do and that the support desk is just as friendly. > > **Cons**: Up until recently they didn't have a good inexpensive option for basic trailer tracking and that was a huge con for us. They recently added the AT11's and now that con is gone. :) > > Again, great experience from when we signed up to daily use. Many competitors have tried to woo us away from Samsara, none have succeeded. ----- ### "Great Valuable Service\!" — 5.0/5 > **Gabriel** | *12 March 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to track trucks and see how long they were at a certain location. Also, being able to see their speed and camera location. Great value for the money\! The video quality is very good and it's very easy to use\! Really, there aren't all that many bugs or issues either. I've never had to contact customer support\! > > **Cons**: Only minor con is sometimes service goes down but not for all that long really. OR sometimes doesn't show me footage but very rare. > > Overall, really do love the cameras, service, and tracking. Don't really have any crazy complaints. Considering getting it for another company also\! ----- ### "School Bus Company" — 4.0/5 > **Jon** | *8 May 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The constant feedback we get regarding the safety and performance of our fleet. This definitely helps us ensure our drivers are doing what they need to be doing. > > **Cons**: I would like the speed notifications to have a lower threshold to trigger the alert - currently it is 10 MPH over the speed limit for a set amount of time. I would like the ability to lower that to 5 MPH over the speed limit. The system is not capable of doing this. > > Very good. The cameras are easy to set up and, once in place, provide constant feedback to us in regard to safety. ----- Page: 1 / 42\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/51789/samsara?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/51789/samsara) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
