Fleetio is very user-friendly, but sometimes the information you get needs to be double-checked. Their online support system is quick and responsive,

Samsara is user-friendly and reliable. They have a strong uptime with almost no downtime. Their reporting tools are great and we've been lucky to get good support from their team when issues arise. I use Samsara daily and it is a large portion of my day....

The cost is not worth the value for the whole package.
