Azuga Fleet vs. COSTAR vs. Verizon Connect

Azuga Fleet is good for small or large companies alike. A very effective way to track the fleet and drivers.

For overall fleet management, maintenance scheduling, employee tracking and equipment tracking this service seems like it is an all in one package that hit all the check boxes my firm needed.

The issue is lack of hardware and software updates and support, and what appears to be an over taxed cell network that is not allowing any of these devices to work correctly.

• Reporting (breadcrumb trail, speed, etc.)
• Vehicle location overview
• Route deviation and route timeliness
• Ease of use

Incentivized

• Transit temperature monitoring - Verizon Connect allows us to fill in previously missing temperature information for food products in transit.
• Vehicle location monitoring - While not our primary goal, we are able to use Verizon Connect to see if any of our vehicles has stopped for an excessive amount of time. This helps us ensure safety of our vehicle drivers.

Incentivized

• Reporting functions could be better.

Incentivized

• Contractor install is very cumbersome, inconvenient, and causes downtime.
• Tracking had lots of unexplained glitches, thousands of miles added and lost to various trucks out of nowhere.
• Customer Service is quick to "open a case" on any issues, but lacks follow-up and solutions.
• Lots of problems are "sent to development."

If/when we have an issue, they have been very timely in assisting us.

Verizon Connect has great customer service. Our account manager has always replied quickly to any inquiries of mine and has been very knowledgeable and reliable. Drivers who've occasionally needed to call into the customer service helpline have quickly had their questions answered and problems resolved. All reports I've received from them about their experiences have been positive, stating that the Verizon Connect employees have been courteous and helpful, resolving their issue quickly and efficiently.

Azuga Fleet is much more user friendly. The information is the same, but Azuga Fleet delivers that information in a much easier and more logical way. The reporting functionality of Azuga Fleet is so much better than GeoTab--easier to access, easier to read, and just better overall. The only feature that GeoTab has is the school bus capability. But, it is also a much more difficult install. For the majority of our vehicles, the easy plugin install of Azuga Fleet is all we need.

Verizon is more precise with GPS, but the easy installation and quick onboarding make Motive the winner. Verizon connect has better accuracy and less chance of removal, but the interface set up take away from its ease of use. Motive is easily installed and can be transferred between vehicles that Verizon connect cannot.
