# Samsara User Reviews

## Reviews summary

- Overall rating: 4.5/5
- Total reviews: 1,034

### Secondary ratings

- Ease of use: 4.5/5
- Customer support: 4.3/5
- Value for money: 4.3/5
- Functionality: 4.4/5

### Rating distribution

- 5 stars: 735 reviews (71%)
- 4 stars: 203 reviews (20%)
- 3 stars: 30 reviews (3%)
- 2 stars: 11 reviews (1%)
- 1 star: 55 reviews (5%)

### Most mentioned pros

- It allows me to easily track forestry crew locations and stay ahead of vehicle maintenance, ensuring our fleet remains safe, compliant, and up to date.
- 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.
- The AI facial recognition software tracks employees effortlessly between different vehicles, and the safety inbox and safety reporting features help me to review my fleet easily on a daily basis.

### Most mentioned cons

- The current placement of the Samsara telematics units allows them to be easily kicked or unplugged by drivers. When this happens, the unit disconnects and stops transmitting vehicle updates and location data.
- Key features are difficult to find, and the navigation between dashboards, safety inbox, coaching, and driver profiles is not intuitive.
- Sometimes one screen (maybe camera screen) will say the driver is ON DUTY and another screen (hour of service report) will say the driver is DRIVING so it's not 100% uniform across the platform. And I dont like that the driver cant be given a warning when they are following too close or when they are speeding BEFORE they get hit with the infraction.

### 10 out of 10

- Reviewer: Courtney J.

- Reviewed: December 2025

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons for switching to Samsara

We used two programs and Samsara does everything in one application.

Overall, my experience with Samsara has been positive. The ability to reach out for step-by-step help has been very helpful, and the AI assistance is a great tool for walking you through different processes and helping you find solutions.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

The safety reporting is great. It’s a great tool for tracking speeding, hard braking, and hard acceleration. It gives us a good way to monitor driver behavior, address safety concerns, and use the coaching tools to help drivers improve.

#### Cons

Under the DVIR section, it would be beneficial to have a mandatory weekly form for drivers to complete. This would make it easier for us to consistently collect important information and follow up on vehicle or equipment issues. There are also a lot of features and settings, so it can take some time to learn the system and determine what works best for our needs.

Samsara, is easy to use and track down where your drivers are at. You can see when they start a task and how far they are from the current location.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons for choosing Samsara

We had already chosen Fleetio and are also using the Samsara system.

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!

#### 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. 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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons for choosing Samsara

It is an all around superior product to most of the alternatives and our ownership only trusts Verizon for cellular communication (Motive uses AT&T)

#### Reasons for switching to Samsara

Hardware reliability, ease of use, cost, position update frequency, added functionality.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

The customer service has been amazing and my rep [sensitive content hidden] 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.

#### Reasons for choosing Samsara

Cost was a big part as well as the fleet management dashboard gave our dispatchers, fleet manages, and safety an easy way to keep up to date on driver locations and logs.

#### Reasons for switching to Samsara

Customer service was a huge reason along with the ease of use for the drivers. When we first made the switch, I still had a few drivers with flip phones.

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.

This platform has become a one-stop shop for most of my driver/truck related tasks. The data available for helping me build a strong safety culture is top notch. In addition to video snips that I can review with drivers, I am able to deep dive so many different factors (speed, accelerator on/off, etc) and supply so many hard data points to the drivers and help them see exactly what happened and why. In addition, the videos and data help me fairly dismiss an event when we find something triggered for the "right" reasons, which protects their safety scores. Example...a harsh brake event because a deer ran out in front of the driver. Harsh braking was the correct action. From an administrative perspective, reviewing DVIRs, HOS, driver efficiency, etc is easy and seamless. The menu layouts are well organized and intuitive. The system reacts quickly to my clicks with very little load time. The overview of my fleet is used daily to quickly allow me to see where my drivers are at any time. Trucks are often passed from driver to driver and the ability to make timing judgements based on where they are has been invaluable. The system is very easy to learn and there are many short training videos to help walk you through everything.

#### Pros

One stop shop. I find myself getting so many things accomplished with Samsara. It is smooth, quick and intuitive.

#### Cons

It would be nice if I had the ability to create a custom dashboard or home page that would have the things I want to see every time I open the platform.
