## Reviews

> **Julie** | *7 February 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It makes it easy to view where our trucks are and how long they are at certain locations.
> 
> **Cons**: We have had a good experience so far no complaints.
> 
> It has been easy to use and to teach new employees to use to track our fleet and view activity of our technicians out in the field.

### "Excellent choice for industries like transportation, logistics, and construction." — 4.0/5

> **Aklesh** | *30 January 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is best choice and its ability to deliver real-time data insights and robust analytics, helping businesses optimize operations and improve decision-making.
> 
> **Cons**: All things are good but its complexity can be a challenge for new users or smaller businesses with limited technical expertise.
> 
> I have used this product and tis best choice for me, its ability to deliver real-time data insights and robust analytics, helping businesses optimize operations and improve decision-making.

### "CalAmp has to work a lot to really become a reliable SaaS company" — 1.0/5

> **Luiz** | *15 December 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Despite the fact the APIs do not provide real-time feedback for collision, they are able to provide a minimum level of information about collisions.- OTA Operations used to work great
> 
> **Cons**: - OTA operations with the devices are not reliable.- Crashboxx solution has no APIs to support basic SaaS operations (billing, activating, deactivating, real-time feedback)- Crashboxx solution takes up to 7 days to confirm a collision (which is absurd in a real-time situation)- It is not possible to use Crashboxx with other features from the platform (such as motionlog)
> 
> The company has to respect the needs from customers. The company currently has no room to listen to the voice of the customer, we have faced several issues related to quality of the solution and to make things worse, the process of handling OTA operations with the devices isnot reliable. Also, Crashboxx is a great solution but it does not provide primitive API functions that every SaaS product.

### "Must Haven't" — 5.0/5

> **Yusuf Saunders** | *9 February 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about CalAmp the ability to unify a driver, car \&amp; more.
> 
> **Cons**: What I like least about CalAmp is that is the information on historical information is sometimes mis information.
> 
> My overall experience with CalAmp is new too me, but easily adaptable.

### "CalAmp - There is no better product on the market for pure GPS Tracking" — 5.0/5

> **Kirk** | *30 November 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability of scripting and allowing you to control all aspects of the software from Sleeping to Tracking Intervals allows you to create a near perfect product.
> 
> **Cons**: With the ability of scripting comes complexity. There was a very large ramp up time of many months for us to learn everything. Even something as straightforward as communicating with the unit via Terminal took a long time to get the basics of (basically, you either have EVERYTHING correct in your setup with wires, ports, etc or you get no response back).
> 
> If you need efficient and reliable GPS, there is no other. The ability for custom scripting, while time consuming to master, gives you absolute control of your units and allows you to weigh power management vs live communicating, reboot frequency, messages sent, etc.
