What do you like best about Samsara?

I find it easy to incorporate drivers, track them in real-time and also give them the ability to update their status and send (Upload) documents. I can map all my drivers in one screen and divert them to the closest location where needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

So far Samsara has been working well for me, but it would be helpful if the image/document uploading could be improved so that maybe an AI can auto crop and enhance the documents. This will make it better to read and understand by the customers. I've also encountered some image loading problems in the past, but have not seen those again recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Samsara is helping to keep track of my asset, being able to provide real time and accurate information to my customers. This information helps to improve our accuracy and expected delivery time to match what our customers want. Video surveillance is excellent because it helps us to monitor driving and advise drivers on any mishaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Samsara impresses with its extensive data accessibility and robust reporting capabilities. The user experience is intuitive, and the customization options allow users to tailor the information display to their preferences, enhancing overall usability. Customer support is always helful as well and they make it easy to implement any changes you may need to have a better user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

Pricing can be a bit of a downfall since there are some other options out there. another thing can be the default settings of certain things may need to be changed by user to make things run smooth for their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The idea of knowing what is going on with the fleet vehicles and its location along with any issues we have in regards to vehicle accidents and having that footage helps explain the facts of any occurances. The Ai tracking on the video surveillance was also useful in determining certain issues as well as implementing lighting to certain areas based on the behavior of people. Very useful tool.

What do you like best about Samsara?

We recently implemented Samsara as an integration with our existing Trucking Management Software, and the experience has been highly positive. Setting up Samsara was straightforward, with minimal complications, allowing us to quickly get up and running without extensive technical support. Managing the system has also been effortless, thanks in large part to Samsara's intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), which is both user-friendly and visually organized. The driver interface has been equally impressive, providing a clean and easy-to-navigate layout that enables our drivers to access necessary functions and information without a steep learning curve. Overall, Samsara has proven to be a well-designed and reliable solution that has simplified our operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

The integration to our TMS software had to be handled by a 3rd party vendor. Our implementation works and functions like it should, but we would like more features from a "Fully integrated" solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Working in Dispatch, the thing I find most helpful about Samsara is all the features it provides. I am the Scheduling Coordinator of an EMS company in the bay area. I love that I can type the ambulance's name and calculate etas in real time for our providers. It is also great that Samsara tells us the ins and outs of our ambulances, such as: if the emt's seatbelt is on or off, if fuel or tire pressure is low, if someone is going lights and sirens when they shouldn't; everything we need to know is right in Samsara. I also love the pictures with dash cams which helps us correct time stamps if need be. I use Samsara frequently when I need to know where people are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

It works well, little or no issues with standard features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

Customer Service is terrible. Frustrating dealing with tech who ask the same answers provided in original ticket. Response time far exceeds normal support systems. You are locked into the device as it is, no modifications even to simple items, like reasons for changing duty status, if it's not listed, you can't add custom reasons. They have to figure out where their main business it. Personal conveyance is limited to the Canadian restriction, not open like the US. Great for Canada, not good if your business is in the USA.

The fuel purchase import system is a joke. Sometimes it does not select the actual location of the fueling, but the corporate office to the fuel supplier. It gets confused sometimes about what country the stop is located. I have a stop in New Jersey, that te system returns as the UK. Last I checked there are no roads between USA and Britain. Also. the geo coding limits the area to 500 yards of the address. Remote fuel islands are sometimes out of range, when brought to their attention, they blame it on a third-party vendor the use for mapping. I did not pick their third-party vendor, If I remember right, I’m paying them to provide solutions, not excuses.

It works, but expect no help and any suggestions is met with we can do that. I gave up a long time ago, giving suggestions, and live with the system as is. And forget talking to your account rep after the contract is executed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Samsara elogs are quick and easy to learn and to explain to new drivers to the Samsara features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

It's frustrating when you are logging in and you don't see your HOS "OFF DUTY" hours before logging in. This can cause drivers to log in too early, since you are required to go "ON DUTY" before you can even see your HOS availability.

It's also frustrating when you are logging in to test something you have to go through the entire PRE AND POST TRIP process before being able to log out and also log out of a truck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ease of use. It's a lot simpler to teach new drivers on the use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
