FAQs

Informed decisions start here

Samsara is a better choice than Geotab for fleet management. Samsara is the most trusted partner for fleet operations, and more organizations choose Samsara than Geotab because of its unified platform, proven ROI, trusted support, and real innovation. 

  • Most trusted solution: Samsara is a profitable, publicly traded company that has invested over $1.5 billion in research and development to stay ahead of the market and serve its customers. Samsara also has a top-tier team, including a proven C-suite with deep tech experience and over 75% of employees based in North America.

  • Unrivaled AI: Samsara AI is trained on one of the industry’s largest real-world datasets, which comprises 30 trillion data points across 105 billion miles traveled each year and 180 billion minutes of video. This powers 45+ AI safety detections, enabling fleets to reduce accidents, improve driver coaching, and enhance driver safety.

  • Proven ROI: Samsara drives real impact through safer operations, lower fuel and maintenance costs, improved asset utilization, and increased productivity across thousands of customers.

  • Best safety solution: Samsara is the only provider offering next-gen AI safety, with AI Dash Cams, AI Multicam, automated coaching, training and recognition, AI technology that detects 45+ risks on the road, and a Samsara Wearable that extends protection outside of the vehicle.

  • Unified platform: Samsara natively unifies telematics, safety, equipment monitoring, commercial navigation, routing, and maintenance in one platform.  Fleets have fewer vendors to manage and face less risk of integrations breaking or data falling out of sync.

  • Success with the largest customers: Samsara serves tens of thousands of customers globally, spanning industries like construction, transportation and warehousing, field services, manufacturing, and the public sector. Samsara is built for complex fleet operations and trusted by large customers globally, including DHL, Maxim Crane, Sterling Crane Canada, City of Memphis, and more. 

Samsara was rated No. 1 across every segment (Overall, Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Small Business) of G2’s Fall 2026 Fleet Management, Asset Tracking, and Asset Management Grid® Reports. This makes Samsara the sole Leader on G2's Overall Grid® Report for Fleet Management for eight consecutive quarters, earning 134 No. 1 Grid® Report rankings since fall 2024, while Geotab hasn’t earned a single one. Samsara's Fleet Management rankings are built on 5,100 verified G2 reviews, compared to only 175 reviews for Geotab. According to G2, Samsara is the clear customer choice for fleet management, rated higher than Geotab across the board. Samsara achieved a better overall G2 score (Samsara’s 99 vs. Geotab’s 72), enterprise customer satisfaction (Samsara’s 97 vs Geotab’s 57), fleet maintenance satisfaction (Samsara’s 99 vs Geotab’s 25), and asset tracking satisfaction (Samsara’s 98 vs. Geotab’s 54). 

Furthermore, Samsara was rated as No. 1 in overall satisfaction in the 2025 Comparison of Fleet Management Technology Providers. More than four out of five fleet professionals who currently use or have used Samsara are satisfied or very satisfied (84%), compared to lower scores for Geotab (76%). Among current customers, 90% say they would recommend Samsara to a colleague.

In contrast, Geotab is a private company that primarily relies on resellers and third-party add-ons to fill gaps in its platform. Samsara is a public, profitable market leader that offers a unified platform, giving companies a proven alternative.

  • Unreliable support: Due to Geotab’s reseller model, they are the ones that typically own the customer relationship. When an issue arises, the reseller handles troubleshooting, so customers may encounter constant handoffs, slow resolution, or unclear ownership.

  • Fewer native safety capabilities: Samsara delivers 45+ AI safety detections,  plus AI Multicam with up to 10 camera views and 360-degree coverage for operated equipment. Geotab offers fewer native safety capabilities and limited equipment coverage.

  • Fragmented asset and maintenance visibility: Geotab’s asset tracking is fragmented, leaving gaps in what teams can see and act on. Samsara connects vehicles, equipment, assets, and maintenance status in one platform.

  • More manual work, more third-party tools: Geotab relies more heavily on manual follow-up and third-party tools for safety, maintenance, and administrative workflows. Samsara automates coaching, maintenance, and routing. Samsara also enables teams to streamline fleet operations with AI, offering Agent Studio with 25+ prebuilt agents. 

  • Distance from the customer: Geotab’s reliance on resellers and third-party providers adds layers between customers and the teams building the technology, which limits direct collaboration on product development. Samsara invested $345M in R&D in FY2026 and works directly with customers, offering co-developed features such as Samsara Coach and Weather Intelligence.
