Overall Satisfaction with Motive

Utilized the ELD and camera devices. The dashboard is probably the only win out of the whole solution I feel. It is concise and easy to navigate. But unfortunately that is where it stops. The ELD uses bot WIFI and Bluetooth connections and this was where the problems arose from. It became unusable once you lost conductivity to either one of those. From my experience the data caps are also an issue as they state that it is a secure connection but we kept losing data and were always bumping up against our data limits on every device, which then would lock out the driver from logging in and created another issue with compliance. Overall we found that we spent way too much time and effort managing a platform that should have been seamless, but in the end had to switch out to another platform as the program was causing to much time on the phone with a support team that in my view spun you around in circles at time with no answer or outcome. Cameras were not worth the effort at the time as again you spend countless time timing to nail down a time frame of an incident, and then only can download 1 minute segments and if you try this to many times it will time you out and you have to come back later. In my opinion, honestly Not worth the time and effort to manage all the issues.
  • Dashboard
  • Map
  • Reports
  • conductivity
  • data connections
  • customer service
This was a struggle, once you get someone on the phone if you can understand that person. the countless time of waiting for someone to answer then after being on hold getting disconnected was frustration. Once you find that is truly was a defective unit customer service would not move forward with a resolution until you sent them a picture of the connection or hook up in the truck. Now try that with a driver going 70 MPH down the freeway
I feel that question is a joke, there was no ease of use throughout the platform whatsoever. The transition between numerous representatives sometimes changing weekly was going us the conclusion of how the platform internal process was going on. As I think in 6 months we had 6 different people in charge of our account.

Yes

Would you buy Motive again?

No

Dashboard works well, and when you run reports, as far as the ELD or cameras which is why you buy the program to begin with not worth the frustration you will gain in my opinion. Countless hours on the phone and trying to remedy conductivity problems with logging in and data limits within the program.
