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. ----- ### "The highest recommendation to anyone looking for ELD, Performance, and Safety" — 5.0/5 > **Dave** | *25 February 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service has been amazing and my rep Andrew de Anda has been extremely helpful in walking me through the addition of the multi-cam. > > **Cons**: My rep that I have now is great but in the past, I would be left wondering who I had. It would change and notice wasn't given. > > We started with Samsara over three years ago and just renewed our contract. This was due to its ease of use, and the cost of equipment and service make Samsara a no-brainer. ----- ### "Competitors have tried to woo us away from Samsara, none have succeeded." — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *10 April 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use is what I like most about Samsara. From acquisition to day to day use the team has been great. I like that they check in periodically to see if there is more that than can do and that the support desk is just as friendly. > > **Cons**: Up until recently they didn't have a good inexpensive option for basic trailer tracking and that was a huge con for us. They recently added the AT11's and now that con is gone. :) > > Again, great experience from when we signed up to daily use. Many competitors have tried to woo us away from Samsara, none have succeeded. ----- ### "Operation Manager Review" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *24 February 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: AI software to help make our drivers as safe as possible, also helps safety managers track events and help with customer satifaction. > > **Cons**: We wish there was a way to have street view though the samsara map. Also it has its bugs with the maintenance where it will delete a truck from a service list but that has only happened twice. > > Excellent customer service and fairly simple to use. The video quality is great and being able to report back to a customer in a matter of minutes instead of the next day is great. ----- ### "PHB Review" — 5.0/5 > **Brandon** | *15 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is simple to use and has excellent live updates. The cameras have been a huge benefit for us with live access and video replays. > > **Cons**: There are a lot of things that can be done with this product but for my position the simpler the better. Our company is extremely old school so integrating new people can be intimidating > > Overall very satisfied. I’ve had good support with \[sensitive content hidden\] and he’s a very good communicator. We’ve had the privilege of trying out equipment tracking but have not yet been able to capitalize on that. I think this may be something we pursue more of in the near future if proven to be beneficial ----- Page: 1 / 39\ 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
