This summer, our customers made it official on G2: Motive earned the highest overall implementation score across five categories – ranking #1 in Fleet Management, Fleet Tracking, Fleet Maintenance, Asset Tracking, and Asset Management. At every fleet size — enterprise, mid-market, and small business — customers consistently gave Motive higher cumulative scores than the competition on ease of setup, speed to go live, and user adoption. In June alone, customer reviews pushed our ease-of-setup score to 100%.
The scores, by category
Here’s how customers ranked Motive’s implementation process across G2’s Summer 2026 Implementation Index:
| Category | Motive (out of 10) |
| Fleet Management | 9.02 |
| Fleet Tracking | 9.05 |
| Fleet Maintenance | 9.10 |
| Asset Tracking | 9.08 |
| Asset Management | 9.08 |
Going live faster than the competition
The scores tell part of the story. Data on implementation speed tells the rest.
According to G2’s Enterprise Implementation Index for Asset Tracking, Motive enterprise customers that use our Equipment Monitoring products get up and running in an average of 1.84 months, compared to a category average of 3.53 months and Samsara’s average of 3.12 months. That’s an average 48% faster than the field, and 41% faster than Samsara specifically. And in Fleet Management, with our AI Dashcams and Vehicle Gateways, Motive enterprise customers report going live in an average of 2.52 months, compared with 3.34 months for Samsara. That means customers report getting up and running with Motive 25% faster than with Samsara, saving approximately 25 days on implementation.
For commercial fleets, that means less downtime, faster team adoption, and a shorter window where operations are running without full visibility.
Motive’s enterprise asset tracking customers report 80% average user adoption, versus a 69% category average. With more than 3,150 reviews on G2 and a 4.4-star rating, customers across industries and fleet sizes say that getting started with Motive is fast and easy.
“The implementation phase was really easy for us. Motive had a wonderful team on our account and made things very easy. In fact all three of our Motive teams were incredible — sales, implementation, account manager.” — Aaron K, asset and fleet manager
“Within a day or two, most of our team was navigating the platform with ease.” — Mantas L, freight coordinator
“The transition to Motive from Samsara was motivated by our preference for Motive’s superior AI capabilities. The installation was smooth, and I appreciate how easy it was to install.” — Dusty P, director of safety and human resources
Built for operators
Motive was designed to be installed and adopted by the people actually running a fleet, so operators don’t have to wait on IT to begin seeing operational, safety and financial improvements.
“The initial setup was a breeze; I just logged in, and everything was already where it needed to be.” — Jesus P, lead technician
“The initial setup was very intuitive and quick, with no major issues in adapting.” — Sergio S, GPS monitor
For operators coming to Motive from competitors like Samsara or Lytx, the contrast is stark. By spending less time troubleshooting deployment, they can spend more time coaching drivers, tracking assets, and managing compliance.
#1 in the mid-market relationship index
A fast implementation is one thing. Maintaining a positive working relationship after onboarding is another. Motive earned #1 in G2’s Mid-Market Relationship Index in both Fleet Management and Trucking. These rankings reflect how mid-market customers rate us on ease of doing business, quality of support, and likelihood to recommend the product, not just the install.
“I like that with Motive, I can see a camera view for safety, which is a great feature. I enjoy the driving reports for unsafe driving and love the alerts for when vehicles are in an accident or if there are any driving infractions. It’s easy to navigate, and I love the safety tabs with events. I also appreciate that I can always go back and pull video if needed. The initial setup was super easy, and the technology is better compared to other products like Samsara and Lytx, which can be quite finicky.”
— Freddie Ibanez, field service manager
What this means for your fleet
During implementation, a platform either earns trust or loses it, and we invest heavily in getting it right. Our teams across sales, implementation, and account management work together to get customers up and running quickly so they can keep moving.
We’re grateful that our customers recognize that too.
