What do you like best about Samsara?

I really love the accessibility of the app and the information provided all in one place, the systems are easy to install, and overall helps our fleet maintain in constant comunication from driver to truck to technician. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

Although it provides alot of critical vehicle info, i feel it could go a bit further into detail on vehicle data, such as more engine and chassis components, would absoloutley love if there was a preset timer for fault code activation to see what driver was doing 30 sec before fault and 30 sec after fault occured ( as an example) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ELD system, and truck maintenance manager Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

Originally I disliked the mobile app functionality, but with the mobile dashboard upgrade it is much more useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Samsara solving and how is that benefiting you?

We never miss preventative maintenance, we rarely have questions about who is at fault during an accident, and the distracted driving alerts allow us to keep irresponsible drivers off the road and incentivize drivers to not make the mistake.!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Samsara?

GPS functionality with trip details for Fleet. Vehicle monitoring and AI functions for safety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

Playback within the Fleet and Site modules is terrible. Videos must be requested and downloaded to review and many times there are periods recorded that are blank with either a green or black screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Samsara solving and how is that benefiting you?

My experience with playback within the Site module has never been great. When a time period is narrowed down for playback, the video frequently does not play, or it appears to play and only the ID boxes (clothing types, etc) are displayed around the areas where people should be. I need playback to verify the people in the frame or to review incidents that involve people, so when they are not displayed on playback, the feature is of no help. I usually have to move my mouse across the timeline bar and use the thumbnail to review footage or confirm the people present. After doing so, I then can narrow down the timeframe I need to request a video to review. However, many time the requested video has periods where the screen turns green and no image is displayed throughout the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Comes in handy when customers are trying to get an ETA on their orders and I can check the trackers to see where they are. I've also benefitted greatly from being able to request videos from accidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

Seems a little sensitive on alerts for harsh turns or harsh braking even at the hardest setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Samsara solving and how is that benefiting you?

Drivers are getting into accidents enough that the video recordings are benefiting us in determining whether our drivers are at fault or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy and reliable it is to operate and the ability to view trends to help us become a better and safer carrier for our drivers and clients. Implementation was extremely easy! Their customer support is very helpful and responsive withing a timely manner. We use Samsara every day of the week to maintain proper oversight of our equipment and maintenance. We also found it very easy to integrate Samsara with our insurance partners to help us in obtaining a discount in our premiums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

I think Samsara is a great company to work with - they don't only have the dashcams and trackers and the system they also have great people who look after you if there is any trouble.

The ease of using Samsara is one reason we chose it over any other system - there is a lot to the system but everything is easy to navigate round from our users on the system to our drivers using the driver app.

Implementation is easy once the ball gets rolling. we use it every single day with the drivers completing their walkaround checks daily and also the users checking the safety behaviour on the system.

I would recommend Samsara to anyone, it is a great way of making sure all things that used to be in different systems are now in one being used with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

The one thing I like the least about Samara is the consistency of the support team - I think that most of the Support team workers are great there is not a consistency in what support oyu recieve.

sometimes my support ticket can go thorugh 4 different levels but then support will repeat asking me what the issue is instead of being able to see what the issue is - I sometimes end up completing the support issue with other peopel in my team before support have come back to me - this is not all the time just sometimes that is why I think it is more an issue with consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Samsara solving and how is that benefiting you?

Samsara solves alot of issues that we have experienced. the main one being standardising alot of system - we used to have multiple systems that used to do different things for the company and it was hard to keep track of what was where using around 7/8 different systems - Samsara has brought all these systems into one place that can be used by everyone for different things

The following that used to be on different systems are now used with ease on Samsara for exmaples -Our walkaround checks are completed by the drivers, tracking system along with dashcams, mechanic defects for the garage, clocking in and out for the drivers and workers.

What do you like best about Samsara?

I like that I can actively see my time even as I'm on the clock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

It did take a little getting used to when I first started using it. Perhaps a quick tutorial when you first start using it would be beneficial. Other than that, there are times it gets glitchy. For example, I'll clock in and out on my phone and even though it shows I worked my allotted hours, it'll show on my bosses end, that I never clocked in or out. Doesn't happen all the time but it's a nuisance when it does Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Samsara has made it easy to have up to date real time information on my fleet throughout the day. It makes it very easy to track road performance and behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

If a camera gets disconnected the unit cannot upload the data on the unit in the truck. We should be able to retrieve video from the unit if the camera gets disconnected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Samsara solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes it very easy to stay compliant with company safety policies and procedures. It has also made it very easy to file insurance claims for automotive accidents. One of our trucks was stolen and we used Samsara to give live up to date location to the police that were in pursuit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
