    Chose Verizon Connect
    We did not go with Azuga, but we are with OneStepGPS and it has been great. They are much easier to work with, their GPS detail has been fantastic, and the pricing is more on par with the rest of their competitors.

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

    On my daily tasks, it helps me to track every order and provide us with detailed information, logging times, [and] user's interactions. Not only [being] able to track but to build and receive orders thru its transmission system is good because it is integrated with a huge amount of companies world wide, reducing the effort and costs in contracting several apps to do just one thing.

    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.

    • Dispatching management- with all its features we can be sure that McLeod will cover all the possible needs when dispatching a load.
    • Billing and documentation- its platform also provides several ways to gather all our documentation and keep them recorded.
    • GPS tracking- its implementation on GPS is beyond of our expectations. It works perfectly with the most known GPS apps such Macropoint, Keeptruckin, LoadTrack and more.

    • 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.

    McLeod Software
    • Guides- we would love to have some updated tutorials and videos about how to use it
    • Feedback system- everyone wants to be listened to. We would appreciate a system to leave a feedback about its product and its new functionalities.
    • Fresh look- it is not ugly but McLeod is strong [and] powerful and I think a newer and fresh look will be nice.

    • 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."

    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    Azuga
    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.

    McLeod has several implementations and is always looking for new ways to get up-to-date. Also, it is stable which is a nice thing when you are a big company handling thousands and thousands of loads every day. We are not only building loads but selling, tracking, dispatching, billing them, and all is being done in the same app.

    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.

    • Looks a bit old- we are in a new age of apps with fresh looks and responsive designs, however, this does not impact our business but we think that using a new face will help with the training curve.
    • It might delay the operation a bit because we need to access different menu items to get to one specific point.
    • A positive thing would be that with all the amount of features it has. McLeod is always trying keep the platform stable, and we know it is not easy to maintain a software like that.

    • Costly compared to other GPS programs.
    • Tied to long term contracts. Representatives do not know how to cancel service.
    • Must wait until the end of the contract to request cancellation. If you miss date, you are tied to another 3 years.
