Thanks to Samsara's customer support and training, I was brought up to speed very quickly on the platform and its functions. ----- ### "Great system that makes everyone's jobs easier." — 5.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *27 February 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "samsara experience" — 3.0/5 > **Emanuel** | *01 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 ----- ### "A trusted partner for promoting vehicle and driver safety" — 5.0/5 > **Jeff** | *06 February 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > Overall, they have provided a great service to our fleet, and we see value in continuing our partnership. ----- ### "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 / 40\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/167543/samsara-for-fleets-0-00-6-23?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/167543/samsara-for-fleets-0-00-6-23) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
