What do you like best about Samsara?

I am able to get information from my trucks in real time. ELD is pretty intuitive for my drivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

Customer service is horrid... most of the time when I or my drivers call the number for help the person cannot be understood. If the binder that they obviously look through to help resolve an issue does not show an obvious resolution, 9x out of 10, the issue has to be sent to the 'escalations dept.' and we are then left with no resolution until they have a chance to investigate it. There is NEVER a way to get in immediate contact with someone to resolve the issue. This leaves us with a truck that has to either sit until a resolve can be made or the truck runs illegal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Asset tracking is on par. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

I enjoy the real time GPS tracking and data driven insights that lead to cost savings, improved driver safety and better asset utilization. The HOS tracking and electronic logs improves decision making, identifies ineffeciencies and reduces dowtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

We often experience lags in information, such as safety scores, sleepy drivers and HOS. It sometimes glitches out and sends alerts that are false, causing driver frustration and safety concerns, which causes frustration and time lost that is associated with the loss of time to correct these issues, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Managing fleet vehicles to help reduce fuel costs, improve delivery times, and maximize vehicle utilization. Helps identify distracted driving, and unsafe driving behaviors, which provides real time feed back and reports allowing management to pinpoint foreseeable issues.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Samsara changed everything for our business and fleet. This service is user friendly, easy to navigate, and always on time. They offer updates and educational programs for users of the software as well as the drivers. It can be personalized and modified to fit anyone's needs. This literally changed the game for our business. 10/10 recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

I have no qualms or issues with Samara to list here as a dislike. I think it'd be cool if the voice could be changed into a different accent on the alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to keep up with who is obeying traffic laws or not, able to track locations and routes to get there. This helps us identify where we are losing money with unnecessary travel, etc. as well as where our biggest liabilities fall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Since implementing Samsara as our ELD provider into our operations a few years ago now, we have a whole new view of our fleets safety and driver efficiency. The interface is easy to navigate and extremely user friendly. Features are endless and customer support is excellent. They are constatnly improving their product and actually listen to their customers needs and suggestions.

Our drivers find it easy to use with minimal input. They love being able to track their performance and challenge themselves and their colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

I would like to see more options/functions on the Samsara Fleet app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Since using Samsara we have been able to go almost paperless with the ability to integrate our forms into the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Whats most helpful about samsara is the GPS on there systems and the ease of use on there products. An upside about samsara is how easy it is to navigate there software and how quick you can learn everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

I think that samsara is lacking when it comes to there customer support i belive that they are a lot slower in there case. Ive had experiece with customer support taking a while to respond back to me and even cases where my co workers have had trouble with them on the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problems Samsara are solving is how fast the flow of data is. Anything you do like add a new driver or truck gets brought up so fast faster than a lot of other ELD companies. There tech is really fast and in a world where everyone wants that responsiveness i think they provide that very well in there products. That's what i benefit from that i feel like since we are getting that information so quick and easy it tends to help everyone's job get done faster Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

Samsara integrates well with our fleet software. It's reporting and recordkeeping features allow our business to comply with federal and state regulations and to enable our business to easily track vehicles and equipment. The Qualifications feature allows us to easily ensure our drivers' certifications and licenses remain up to date and alert us to upcoming expirations. The training videos are extremely helpful in learning to use different facets of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

While Samsara is fairly user friendly, it can be difficult to find features on the website. I often have to utilize the help feature or contact customer support to assist me. It'd also be great if their reporting features had more filters to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were able to cut our expenses by utilizing Samsara's many features and canceling our subscriptions with other software platforms that didn't offer as many options. Samsara allows us track our vehicles, record vehicle maintenance, access driver logs, vehicle videos, and employee qualifications all in one place rather than using multiple platforms for a higher price.

What do you like best about Samsara?

What I like about Samsara is that we can do everything in one platform. We began using Samsara in 2020. We're a trucking company and it allows for Operations to dispatch. Their safety suite is always getting better and more advanced. The maintenance portion that allows the maintenance team to track upcoming maintenance.

Additionally their customer support team is fast and helpful.

The driver App is amazing and easy to learn. I've been able to get drivers who have never used an ELD learn Samsara HOS in as little as an hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

The downside I would say would be their training platform is not yest where I'd like it to be. The library is minimal and you would have to put in quite some time to find your own content to upload into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Samsara allows us to stay compliant with the FMCSA's Hours of Service Regulations.

Samsara allows to coach our drivers in unsafe driving behaviors in order to stay a safe fleet and minimize our risk.

Samsara allows us to have the most up to date location information on our assets whish allows us to provide our customers with good ETAs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

The AI built into the cameras is amazing. It's so helpful to provide drivers with real-time alerts about their behavior and also provide data to the managers so that coaching can be handled as needed. We have seen an improved driving record across our fleet since implementing this system. It has also gotten us out of a couple situations where we could have been liable for damages without video footage of the incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

Figuring out how everything works has been our challenge. No one has the time to take the courses in order to fully understand the system's capabilities and implement. This isn't a fault of Samsara. There are so many resources (articles, videos, chat feature, etc.) available that it can be a little overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has decreased the unsafe driving tendencies of our fleet drivers. This will keep our employees safer and reduce costs by eliminating at-fault accidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

We like having the ability to look back on a driver's route to check stops for our trash business. The cameras have also been very helpful in complaints about how a driver is driving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

I wish the routing option had a monthly recurring option. I also do not like google maps as the basis of the routing - it does not do well in our rural area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our customers call and say they were missed on a route. We are able to use the cameras to check if they actually had their stuff out when the driver went by. Samsara also allows us to know where the drivers are in real time so we can give accurate estimates of time if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Samsara?

We like and appreciate our newest rep. We have had many, however James is the most efficient we have had to date.

We like the concept of the products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Samsara?

It is very hard and time consuming to get support and resolution to issues with the products. The interfacing with equipment is not solid and causes many, many issues when interfacing with our equipment. We have demonstrated our faith and trust in you getting it resolved by renewing our contract for an additional year.

We use this equipment every day, multiple drivers and have the need to add it and roll it out to more areas. Unfortunately we can't yet take that leap of faith. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Samsara is NOT quick to solve problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
