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. ----- ### "GROWING GPS SYSTEM THAT IS ALREADY AHEAD OF THE CURVE" — 4.0/5 > **JON** | *1 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I REALLY APPRICIATE ALL OF THE INFO IT PROVIDES WITH VEHICLE HOURS AND MILES, DIAGNOSTICS, GEOFENCES. THE DRIVER'S APP IS A GREAT TOOL ALSO FOR CREATING AND TRACKING DRIVERS PRE AND POST TRIP INSPECTIONS. > > **Cons**: SOME OF THE SET UP COULD BE STREAMLINES, FOR INSTANCE I CREATED SERVICE INTERVALS FOR BASIC OIL CHANGES, EVERYTIME I NEED TO ADD A VEHICLE I NEED TO GO INTO THE SETTINGS AND MANUALLY PUT IT IN. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO JUST PICK THE ASSET ON CLICK ADD TO: > > MY OVER ALL EXPERIANCE HAS BEEN GREAT. MY ACCOUNT REP \[sensitive content hidden\] IS THE BEST AND HELPS ME OUT WITH ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS I MAY HAVE. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Frictionless" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *2 March 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The user interface is elegant and intuitive. I rarely have to refer to the documentation to figure out how something works. All of the information that needs to be together is displayed together and links to related data. The customer support techs almost always know what I am talking about and what they are talking about. The vehicle tracking is practically real time. Trucks added to the fleet are set to expire at the same time as the original contract. > > **Cons**: Their focus is on developing new advanced features and much less on polishing the existing (quite good) features. > > Frictionless. We are a small company and Samsara provides more data than we can actually use, but I prefer that to putting up with some of the other systems that we have looked at. ----- ### "Samsara is the only ELD for us" — 5.0/5 > **Nathan** | *20 April 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love that Samsara gives us so many tools to manage our fleet. Easy to integrate with customers. So many features > > **Cons**: Cannot think of anything. There is not anything about Samsara that we do not enjoy. It meets all of our needs. > > We can easily track our loads and share with our customers. Reporting is awesome and customizable. We can track our vehicles easily and their route and it helps show us where we could have possibly saved fuel. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ 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
