Geotab

Pros: Geotab had lower upfront costs compared to our current provider, Samsara, while still offering many comparable features. If you are tech-savvy, it’s a solid, scalable solution – especially for smaller fleets. We never experienced any major issues with the hardware or software, and the GPS tracking was consistently reliable.

Cons: While Geotab’s core functionality was strong, we found that Samsara delivered a more streamlined and intuitive experience, which proved essential for managing our large fleet of independent contractors. Geotab often required additional setup, third-party plugins, or multiple apps to achieve what Samsara offers out of the box. For example, Samsara combines ELD, DVIR, dispatch, and document submission into a single, easy-to-use driver app, whereas Geotab relied on multiple apps. Geotab’s more modular approach offered flexibility, but lacked the cohesion and simplicity we needed. Its UI was also a bit less intuitive, and felt a bit clunkier and more difficult for our dispatchers and drivers to navigate. It's a bit like comparing Android to Apple: Geotab gives you lots of control and customization, while Samsara delivers a more polished, user-friendly experience right away. For our dispatchers and drivers, that ease of use made a big difference in our day-to-day operations, but your mileage may vary.

Pros: Bon suivie pour les maintenances des véhicules de la flottes. modification rapide a distance vers le véhicule.

Cons: Les mises a jour son très grosse alors il a des changement drastiques alors une nouvelle habitude à reprendre parce que le changement est énorme.

Pros: I really liked how easy it was to see everything going on with our fleet in one place. The real-time tracking is super helpful, and the reports gave us great insight into things like fuel usage and driver behavior. It helped us make smarter decisions quickly.

Cons: The platform can feel a bit overwhelming at first—there are so many features that it takes some time to get used to. Some of the more advanced tools aren’t very intuitive, so we had to spend time learning or asking for help.

Pros: Economical, good tracking and ELD system, solid customer service, integrates well with our TMS software, dash cams, etc.

Cons: Not really anything major. It would definitely be my first choice again for ELD and tracking software.

Pros: prebuilt features, live videos, easy dispatching, customizable to meet your business needs

Cons: feels out of date, other products has newer features

Pros: Geotab integrated with our CRM and made tracking our fleet incredibly easy

Cons: Reporting was a little counter-intuitive at first.

Pros: Nothing comes to mind, stuck how much the Beta version had increased my work load

Cons: Very difficult to use the Maintenance section, too many steps, not enough editing features.

Pros: Easy to install and set up, did not take long at all.

Cons: Not very accurate, constantly having trouble with the devices, either they stop working completely or wont move on the map

Pros: The software was the most positive part of the system

Cons: Hard to dig for data, geotabs did not always work, customer service was poor, not technical in install support.

Pros: Meanwhile, engine data and environmental monitoring enable you to find out what might be wrong with the vehicle before it requires a major repair. Sophisticated data analysis of fuel consumption integrated with driving behavior, route planning, and control of idle time to give tangible recommendations on minimizing fuel use on the vehicles in the fleet.

Cons: If there are many vehicles in the area, for example, in the center of large cities, the map interface may sometimes freeze. Small growth in content customization for automated report frames. Some of the features that are included in the desktop version are, however, missing in the mobile app.

Pros: easy to use, app for drivers is very simple, and drivers don't have to repeat inputs daily

Cons: no integration, no app for carrier, delayed on tracking, not open customer service on weekends

Pros: Easy to use and keep tabs on assets. No glitching at all.

Cons: i don't like searching addresses or seeing how far away a tech is from their destination. It is hidden and hard to use.

Pros: Geotab covers all the needs for fleet management and tracking. Customer support is fast and reliable. I like the 3rd party intergration feature

Cons: There is nothing to dislike about Geotab.

Pros: Telematics are great. The data analytics are outstanding asset to have.

Cons: Constatnt issues with cameras going on/off line, not recording, taking a lot of time to load, flipping vehicles/cameras, unable to reach cameras, poor customer service.

Pros: What I like most about Geotab is its comprehensive and user-friendly fleet management platform. The real-time data analytics, customizable reporting, and robust integration capabilities make it an invaluable tool for optimizing fleet operations and improving overall efficiency.

Cons: What I like least about Geotab is the occasional complexity of navigating some of its advanced features. While the platform is powerful, the learning curve for new users can be steep, and it sometimes requires more time to fully understand and utilize all its functionalities.

Pros: Me gusta que los usuarios de Geotab, brinden variedad de recursos de apoyo a los usuarios y en diferentes idiomas, ayuda mucho para poder entender parte de las funciones y poder compartirlo con diferentes clientes

Cons: Sobre las nuevas actualizaciones que han lanzado en MyGeotab, sobre mantenimiento y las especificaciones con los activos y poder mostrar mas detalles en una sola ventana

Pros: Able to track fleet and also see engine faults

Cons: False engine light alerts in return cause more work ony end to make sure driver's are not abusing are equipment

Pros: GPS tracking was accurate and but without camera capabilities at the time, it felt very limited.

Cons: The customer UI was atrocious, and the entire software felt needlessly bulky.

Pros: Solid infrastructure and vision for the future, that allow innovation

Cons: Besides the company has huge experience and capabilities, it is not easy to learn from solid success cases. It looks like when we face new challenges, these are new challenges for Geotab too. However, sometimes someone at other latitudes already found a solution.

Pros: It gives an update on vehicles location and their driver, who is sleeping and who is driving, plus it gives an api in almost all programing language to access it from our system.

Cons: It doesn't give the total miles of each vehicle in a specific date range directly, what it does is it gives all the records of the odometer reading since the device is installed, and we have to calculate manually by subtracting the last reading to the first reading in a specific date range. and it is too slow to load if the date range is high and also it doesn't give option to search with more than one vehicle.

Pros: Geotab can be customized to meet a lot of different customers' needs. My favorite part of the solution is probably the custom reporting that can be done via Excel reports to tailor the presentation of aggregated data so that it is more readable and actionable when going to various groups within organization.

Cons: Geotab seems to be trending updates toward burying common functionality under more layers of options, which has made the software a bit less intuitive. I also find it difficult to find things quickly in their system ever since they removed the colors from the navigation bar and removed other visual clues that made the UX much more pleasant (I have given this three years to try to adjust and make sure this isn't a "learners curve" issue, and I believe it is still a real issue as I still have difficulty with it after all this time).

Pros: Relatively simple to use and has tons of features. Many of those features we don't use yet, but we are excited to roll them out in the future. Integrates with our Outage Management software.

Cons: Sometimes changes to filtering doesn't seem to take effect until you do a shift-refresh of the web page. Some of the administration screens could benefit from a makeover to make hem more usable.
