Thanks to Samsara's customer support and training, I was brought up to speed very quickly on the platform and its functions. ----- ### "Samsara...simply amazing\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kim** | *9 May 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Samsara's website is easy to navigate and easy to use, making managing my driver's logs and vehicles a breeze. And their customer service is always top notch\! > > **Cons**: The only complaint that I have about Samsara is that they've recently added a search bar to the website that is not in an ideal place and I keep clicking on ot accidentally. Minor inconvenience. > > Samsara ia a great product that provides for all my logging needs in one place, from quick access to driver logs and editing, to managing gayeways and vehicle locations. I couldnt do without them\! ----- ### "10 out of 10" — 5.0/5 > **Courtney** | *8 December 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am still a huge fan of the safety inbox and real time alerts as well as the cameras. 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. ----- ### "samsara experience" — 3.0/5 > **Emanuel** | *1 April 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > 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 ----- ### "Samsara Asset Tag performance and capabilities A+" — 4.0/5 > **Jeffrey** | *23 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customized access controls for those who access the program. The value and options for the program have exceeded expectations. > > **Cons**: When setting up asset tags, having some additional information on set-up do's and don'ts for 760+ units would have saved a lot of correction time. > > Overall, it has been great. The national accounts and customer service teams have been quick to respond to our firm's growing needs. I compliment the team to continuously advancing the capabilities of all devices to fill all needs, and some we did not we wanted. ----- Page: 1 / 42\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/51789/samsara?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
