### "Samsara allows to utilize many of our functions in one app and integrates with others"

February 26, 2026

5.0

I came into Samsara having to take over from someone who suddenly left the company. Thanks to Samsara's customer support and training, I was brought up to speed very quickly on the platform and its functions.

Pros

Samsara allows us to track our fleet and mileage and use that information for safety, IFTA, HOS, and other essential functions, all in one place.

Cons

The new AI integration has not been a big help to our services, and I feel like is a distraction when navigating the platform.

### "Best in market, but could use a couple of improvements in customer service"

February 19, 2026

5.0

Our experience with Samsara has been great. Overall it is a great ELD, easy to install, easy to use and very dispatch/driver friendly. I can't imagine there is a better overall product on the market.

Pros

Ease of setup/installation Great Interface - we evaluated several options and none have as nice of a user interface Truck Diagnostics - Get alerts and can see truck codes as they happen. So we can get drivers to a shop and most times have the issues diagnosed. Video footage has cleared our liability from several accidents. Reporting is good - but with all the information they collect it needs to be better. Driver - ease of use - drivers aren't the most tech savvy and we haven't had any drivers have any trouble navigate the app.

Cons

Samsara is a premium price - it gets expensive for small fleets - but the biggest issue is that they continue to come out with features and want to nickel and dime for every feature. The product is already really expensive - quit nickel and diming your loyal customers. Camera Quality is just OK. It captures the major stuff, but you cannot read a license plate on a vehicle driving 10 feet in front of you. Renewals/Licensing - this has to be the worst process of my entire life. The need to fire everyone in this department and start over. It is brutal to try and renew licenses. Customer Service - we have a sales rep, but we need a customer service rep. If we have issues you email/call the help desk. Level 1 can NEVER help and it takes days to get an answer. It would be nice to have a customer service rep to assist with issues.

### "samsara experience"

April 1, 2026

3.0

Good, because they are here to explain the platform to us. the new report that they enabled for us shows a drop in fuel levels

Pros

It is very easy to use and intuitive for learning new tools. We learned how to coach at a idling

Cons

There is an 8-hour delay in the personalized mileage and fuel reports. They only have coaching idling, not on other behaviors that are very important.

### "A trusted partner for promoting vehicle and driver safety"

February 6, 2026

5.0

Overall, they have provided a great service to our fleet, and we see value in continuing our partnership.

Pros

Samsara offers a very comprehensive vehicle safety management system combining reliable GPS tracking capabilities with AI-powered and assisted driver monitoring capabilities to help keep drivers safe in the moment and reduce accident risks. The equipment is durable, fast, and provides audio minders to drivers when they are demonstrating negative behaviors (ex: looking at their cell phones, speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, etc.). The dashboard for tracking vehicles across numerous states and geographical regions is very user-friendly. Recorded date from accidents or near-miss events can be easily obtained and is helpful for training and liability purposes. Lastly, the enhanced monitoring components help track vehicle health telematics like engine hours, battery effectiveness, and mileage. Samsara integrates well with our fuel card program and our Fleet Management system to help keep track of fuel economy and spend, and minders for preventative and periodic maintenance.

Cons

On occasion, we have had lapses in the availability of video data from key events, and this has made it harder to settle accident cases. Whether these lapses were caused by tech issues or internal errors is still not clear. The customer and tech support divisions are typically very responsive, but in some cases, they are slow to reply or initiate support efforts. I believe this is partly due to the timezone difference between Samsara and my company. I will say that whenever we have had an issue that we deemed serious enough to escalate to higher levels of support, they have been very responsive.

### "Samsara, the future of fleet safety and operations. "

March 16, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with the Samsara Brain and AI camera has been good. My Safety Manager \[sensitive content hidden\] is the primary user for the system. He collects and provides the information he receives for the Samsara system. As our Fleet Manager we use the Fleetio system with the Samsara system.

Pros

I appreciate that the Samsara system works with our auto integrate system by Fleetio. The Samsara Tracking, AI Camera, and Driver Report Card are all great tools and features.

Cons

The tape or adhesive used for the windshield camera mounting comes detached at times from the heat. Mechanics often disconnect the Samsara brain from the OBD port. Drivers often do not plug it back into the port which causes delays in receiving vehicle information.

### "Rasmussen Trucking and Samsara collab"

March 13, 2026

5.0

My overall experience I would say is very satisfactory and I would not want it any other way. Thanks for making Samsara my choice.

Pros

I have had tried multiple products such as Omnitracs, and Samsara. I am 100% Samsara now. It is very reliable and has an overall ease of use. The dashboard is easy to teach drivers, and they pick it up fast. The cameras and the playback video is much easier to see and use vs Netradyne that I have also used in the past. I have had recent help from customer support as well. Their patience and thoroughness is also much appreciated. I also love the having my Fleet Screen up all day to reference where everyone is. Cuts down on calling them constantly to track their eta. Great Product!!

Cons

The only thing I can think I like least is the expense of each user option attached to the Samsara products. I wish it was a little cheaper to entice me to use all of the applications offered. It adds up fast with a large fleet.

### "Great Valuable Service!"

March 12, 2026

5.0

Overall, really do love the cameras, service, and tracking. Don't really have any crazy complaints. Considering getting it for another company also!

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.

### "Frictionless"

March 2, 2026

5.0

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.

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.

### "Great system that makes everyone's jobs easier."

February 27, 2026

5.0

Overall we've had a great experience with Samsara. It is integrated with every department of the company from Operations, Safety & Compliance, Maintenance and Billing.

Pros

What I like most about Samara is the ease of use. From installation to implementation it is all very user and driver friendly. The dash cameras are great, the event detection is very accurate and were able to use this to coach our drivers real time. Their customer support is also great, every ticket I have created has been resolved in a matter of a day. We truly see the value for money with the cameras alone it has saved us from proving we were not at fault for several accidents.

Cons

There is not much not to like. I would say some drivers have complained about the voice alerts being too sensitive. They sometimes get an in cab voice alert but the event/ video never shows up in the safety inbox. I've had to handpick which alerts to roll out to not overstimulate the drivers.

Alternatives considered

[Motive](https://www.capterra.com/p/138669/Motive/)

Reason for choosing Samsara

We chose Samsara because Motive (at the time KeepTruckin) did not offer a good tracking solution for operations. They focused more on the ELD and camera side of things.

At the time we were using the Omnitrac Qualcomms for ELD and tracking. And using the trucks camera system as a way of reviewing critical events. We were looking for a more integrated system for both Operations and Safety.

### "A great choice for fleet tracking"

February 27, 2026

4.0

From the onboarding process, through install and initial setup, their support team has been very helpful.

Pros

The gateways are easy to install. It's easy to add/remove features. Their tech support is outstanding. The website is easy to use and has a lot of flexibility. The cameras and AI used for generating alerts is accurate and helpful. Getting a new/replacement unit is easy and only takes a day or two.

Cons

While adding features is easy, there is no a la carte option, it's a complete package upgrade when you only want to use 1 or 2 features.

### "Samsara Experience"

December 5, 2025

5.0

Samsara has been an outstanding tool for managing our fleet. The dashboard is clean and intuitive, making it easy to quickly see vehicle locations, driver status, and any alerts that need attention.

Pros

Tracking our fleet in real time has never been easier. Samsara provides accurate GPS data, detailed trip histories, and helpful insights that allow us to improve efficiency and safety. The mobile app is just as simple to use. We recently installed 360 Multi Cameras and it has been such a great way to reduce accidents and help our drivers feel safer while they are on the road.

Cons

If I had something I disliked about Samsara it would be to allow more reporting options (which has greatly improved since we started using Samsara).

Overall it has been good, but there has been some issues especially with the CTC getting approved in Ca.

Pros

Customer service is good and the dashboard is easy to read. It's easy for our drivers to log in and do their DVIR's.

Cons

That they still are waiting for the CTC's to get approved in Ca. I know it's a cable thing for the Hino trucks, but considering a majority of our trucks are Hino's, it's a little frustrating.

### "Reliable, Insightful, and Critical for Fleet Safety"

July 23, 2025

5.0

Samsara has been a key tool in elevating accountability and operational standards across our branches. We’ve seen real improvements in driving behavior and vehicle tracking. The platform helps us stay proactive with maintenance and compliance, and support from their team has been responsive whenever issues arise.

Pros

Samsara has transformed our fleet oversight. The driver scorecards, real-time alerts, and HD camera footage have significantly improved our safety culture. I appreciate the ease of use, intuitive dashboard, and how quickly I can pull up safety or maintenance data when coaching drivers or reviewing incidents.

Cons

The platform can be overwhelming at first due to the depth of features and data. It takes time to train managers and field staff to fully understand how to use the system effectively.

We've used Samsara for about 10 years and it's a perfect way to keep watch of your fleet. Samsara has been a game changer for our business.

Pros

We like being able to see real time location of our fleet, also love the vehicle diagnostics. And it's very easy to recall video captures at certain moments of a trip for review.

Cons

When vehicle has been turned off for a while, you can still see it's location but the camera views time out.

### "Powerful, Reliable, and Intuitive"

June 11, 2025

5.0

My personal usage of Samsara within my role relates to setting up drivers for dispatch, troubleshooting issues with Routes, and reviewing dashcam footage in the case of incidents. I have completed both the Telematics and Reporting Platform Expert certifications through the Samsara Academy. My overall experience with the platform has been consistently positive, and as someone who works in IT, I can confidently say it is the best-designed out of all the systems I manage.

Pros

The dashboard and driver app have a very well-designed, user-friendly UI, the system very rarely experiences any downtime, it has a very capable API, and everything seems to simply work as intended.

Cons

One thing that I find somewhat irritating is how IDs for drivers and equipment are not available fields on the frontend, and must be extracted from the URL of their individual screens, or from a csv export (only in the case of Drivers, as the ID does not show on the export for Assets). This is quite a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but it is something that I have to work around quite frequently. The ID should really be an optional column that can be added.

Best tool for tracking business by long shot, expensive very good Driver s are also very satisfied with the Samsara and aware of all of her features

Pros

Tracking is great and accurate as it can be, also not many bugs if any, i wish its little bit less expensive so i can recommend it to smaller trucking company's

Cons

Perhaps more specific warnings on violations with Hos, instead of me going through each driver every day to see what happen night before

### "Samsara App Review"

January 30, 2026

4.0

Overall, good app for truck drivers. I experienced for first FLEET wide outage on a Friday (of course) last year and the quickness of a resolution was impressive. The fact that once it was back up, it back-filled our drivers logs was impressive and sure saved companies a ton of time and extra work to ensure drivers logs were legal and correct.

Pros

I think that Samsara is a GREAT product for our truck drivers. I think that it is easy to use for their loads and paperwork. What I like most for the drivers is that every thing is done in the app. Drivers don't have to scan their paperwork through a separate device. The load information, messages from their dispatcher, paperwork.....everything is in one app.

Cons

It seems that every time an update comes out, the update causes issues with other things inside the app, so then what it feels like is that the update isn't tested thoroughly to see if it is going to cause issues for other things in the app. I HATE the new speed graph. It is NOT user friendly from a trucking stand point at all. The way the speed graph was before was fantastic and VERY easy and quick to use and see speeds at certain times. TICKET turn around time is a HUGE issue for me. When I open a ticket, I am in need of a QUICK resolution b/c the majority of the time, the issues is affecting my drivers logs and they can't drive until it's corrected or fixed.

### "Powerful safety tool, limited by administrative complexity "

April 6, 2026

5.0

Overall, Samsara is a powerful platform with strong tracking, safety monitoring, and video capabilities. The performance is solid, and the tracking data is dependable. However, it requires time and experience to fully understand and configure properly. Customer support and documentation are helpful, but due to the complexity of the system, there is still a reliance on trial and error to learn the platform. Once dialed in, it can be very effective—but the initial experience on the administrative side could be significantly improved.

Pros

Samsara provides strong visibility into driver behavior, tracking, and overall fleet safety. The GPS tracking and trip data are reliable, and the ability to review video footage tied to events is one of the most valuable features—it allows for accurate validation instead of guessing what happened. From the driver side, the app is straightforward and easy to use, which helps with adoption. Once the system is properly configured, it becomes a powerful tool for identifying trends, managing risk, and improving accountability across the fleet.

Cons

The administrative side is not very user-friendly and has a steep learning curve. Key features are difficult to find, and the navigation between dashboards, safety inbox, coaching, and driver profiles is not intuitive. There is also confusion around how settings (like speeding thresholds and sensitivity) impact driver safety scores. Without proper setup, the system can generate excessive alerts that require manual filtering, which is time-consuming. Occasionally, the platform feels inconsistent in how data is presented, and it can take extra steps to locate specific events or reports.

In general, we are satisfied, and we do believe Samsara can improve many things to attract even more customers. Would I recommend them? Yes. But would everyone accept it right away? I’m not sure I’d have to be a pretty good salesman.

Pros

I like a lot of things about Samsara, the customer support, the accuracy, the features, and the cameras. The cameras could still be improved, but overall I’m happy with the system.

Cons

I don’t really like the constant updates that slow things down, or the new features that show up without a clear explanation and often aren’t needed. The payment process is also a bit unclear. There are good things, but there’s definitely room for improvement. The IFTA reports could definitely be improved, as well as better control over speeding. I also want to mention the updates the data connection is limited, and with weekly updates this often causes incorrect hour calculations for drivers. When it comes to hours, this is a real issue, especially because Samsara is considered one of the best ELD devices in the USA, and my company uses it mainly because the logs cannot be edited. Because of that, Samsara should improve its services and make things easier for drivers, not force them to do “math problems” just to guess how many hours they will have. And with constant updates, there’s always a risk that the logbook won’t work the way it should.

Samsara, because of its usefulness, has allowed me to concentrate on other areas of Safety that might otherwise have time allotment restrictions.

Pros

As Safety Director Samsara videos are a VITAL tool of mine in ensuring our drivers are being safe and adhering to our driver safety program. Tracking fuel mileage, idling times and hours on the road is a huge advantage, and the overall product is a great value for the money. The ease of use is a definite plus and the customer support has been excellent.

Cons

Even though I am still discovering all the available options to our units I have not discovered how to get an alert for "smoking / vaping" in the vehicles.

### "Order from Chaos "

October 27, 2025

4.0

My overall experience with Samsara is very positive. Since implementation the chaos that is managing a fleet of trucks and drivers has been given order. This is a tool that allows us to more efficiently and accurately: bill customers, pay drivers, dispatch drivers, maintain equipment, track milage, address safety concerns and track driver's licenses and medical cards.

Pros

I like how easy Samsara is to use. If I have a question or issue Samsara also has a knowledge base of articles and videos that cover almost every topic that may arise. The documents are step by step and easy to follow. If for some reason I can't find an answer there, the Samsara support team is there to help. Every interaction with them has been positive. They are quick to respond, very thorough when figuring out the issue and the follow up is impressive. The communication through the process is very much appreciated. I never dread having to reach out to support because I know they will solve whatever problem I may have.

Cons

My least favorite thing is the inability to search messages that were sent. I use the messaging to communicate with our drivers and sometimes I need information that was sent awhile ago. Being able to search key words would be pretty helpful with how I use Samsara.

### "Samsara is amazing for Dispatching!"

February 27, 2026

5.0

Amazing, I use it every day. I have used this with multiple different employers and I use Samsara all throughout my day.

Pros

Tracks technicians in real time, shows photos of their view, how fast they are going, if their check engine lights are on, tire pressure etc. Keeps log of their driving for months so you can go back when needed. Searching an address and being able to see who is closest and how long it would take to dispatch that technician.

Cons

Delay with searching in the Dispatch tab. I cannot think of much else, it would be good to get a notification when the device gets unplugged from the vehicle so we know in real time.
