# Samsara vs Verizon Connect for a logistics company that needs GPS tracking, driver safety scores, and maintenance alerts without three separate subscriptions?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 community, I'm comparing Samsara and Verizon Connect for a logistics use case where the goal is one platform covering GPS tracking, driver safety scoring, and maintenance alerts, rather than stitching together three separate subscriptions. </p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Both are well-known names in the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/fleet-management">Fleet Management category</a>, but reviewers describe pretty different experiences, so I wanted to lay out what the data actually shows for each.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/samsara/reviews"><strong>Samsara</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Reviewers consistently describe it as an all-in-one dashboard that brings GPS, AI safety camera,d driver behavior scores, and maintenance alerts together, so you're not switching between tools. Real-time tracking and safety coaching come up as standout strengths. The main caveats: cost climbs as you add cameras and hardware, and alert volume needs configuration so it doesn't overwhelm.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/verizon-connect/reviews"><strong>Verizon Connect</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Reviewers credit it with solid GPS tracking, safety/at-risk behavior alerts, and reporting on a reliable network, and some long-time users are happy with it. However, the data also shows recurring, serious complaints, hardware that failed or drained vehicle batteries, rigid contracts, slow or inconsistent support, and broken data/API integrations that went unresolved for months. Several reviewers describe switching away because of these issues.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For logistics teams who've run either one, did a single platform truly cover tracking, safety scores, and maintenance for you, or did you still end up adding tools? And for anyone who used both, what actually drove the decision: hardware reliability, support, cost, or the safety features?</p>

&lt;p&gt;I’d go with Samsara here, mainly because it seems to cover all three needs in one cleaner workflow. Verizon Connect’s contract and hardware complaints would make me nervous for a logistics team that can’t afford tracking gaps.&lt;/p&gt;
