Samsara
The best part about the software is its openness to integration. With a flexible API, we integrated a lot of modules with the software, thus ensuring the safety of history/records as per our needs without having to pay more for customization. The system is not only user-friendly but well thought out. The ease of access to the system leads to lower training costs and ensures that the team is chunking out savings and driving efficiencies throughout. Since Samsara does not discriminate on the minimum number of vehicles/assets that are to be tracked, it makes it far easier to utilize. However, on things to improve - Samsara can have the software tweaked to cater to more than the construction industry, whereby companies such as us who are into multiple domains can benefit from the same. Also, if there were a one-time cost for availing services, it would mean the world to clients like us!

Great for getting started quickly and only for the tools you use. Scaling up is then fast and there is an extensive range of ready made apps that support industrial use cases. Connectivity to the OT layer for data collection and remote access is simplified and takes away much of the complexity in getting connected and surfacing data from machines or sensors.

  • An overview and drilldown into where attributes are used across the solution, such as in rules, dashboards and apps. This would make it easier to maintain and understand the potential impact of change.
  • Provide more detailed and insightful information when an app has changed so the end user knows what is new or different.
  • Quick and user-friendly app building tools to create user entry forms on dashboards that doesn't require Mendix or VFC.

Samsara
Great software for managing and tracking assets, identifying maintenance/breakdowns in assets, and ensuring the best productivity per asset. Cost analysis benefit / Service provision for 1 unit as well - which is good enough for testing purposes Ease of use, dashboards are easy to view and understand Comprehensive collection of data - presentation of information in required format Limitation on flexible use of API, thus leading to repetition of information/data leading to inefficient hours Flexibility in the units provided/not much to do in terms of modification of assets, its just a plug and play system.
