Likelihood to Recommend When our client wants to host email onsite, not in the cloud, our go-to is GFI Systems MailEssentials. You can set up allowed or blocked emails based on many parameters. The quarantine feature is easy to manage. Sometimes it "catches" too many emails. Easy to fix, though! GFI Systems LanGuard is so comprehensive that initial scans take forever to run! But it is so comprehensive that it catches *everything*! Not just viruses, and lack of updates--it catches things in the endpoint's registry. And provides the full information on the endpoint in order to identify and fix it. Thanks, guys for great products!
Read full review The usability of Motive's platform and mobile app, particularly for tracking drivers and managing logs, would significantly impact its suitability for trucking operations. If it offers a straightforward interface, seamless navigation, and accessible features on mobile devices, it would likely enhance its effectiveness. However, if it proved challenging or lacked necessary functionalities, it might have posed obstacles to efficient fleet management.
Read full review Pros Security is their main focus and they do an excellent job providing users the ability to use all tools in one product. Their reports are very detailed and have the option to auto email key people with executive reports to keep track of vulnerabilities and patch status. Keeping costs low, no other company could offer as much as they do for everything they offer. Read full review The customer and technical support are amazing. You can talk to a real person on the phone who is knowledgeable and responsive. There are also online chat and email options. The integration with our dispatch (TMS) software is flawless with nice features. The total safety options are very robust. Our insurance carrier loves what we are reporting to them.

Read full review Cons GFI Systems MailEssentials would be nice to have the possibility to block emails from overseas. Make that customizable, too! Have a "lite" version of GFI Systems LanGuard so we can do a quick check, if we would like to How about a special "partner" phone number for support? One where a partner can access support more quickly? Read full review I had issues with adding another company to my fleet to track them while they were driving for my company. I had issues when I first started using Motive with the install. Motive assisted with a talk through method, but it still didn't work. I ended up taking the truck to the shop 3x before they figured out the problem. So, I would like to see Techs nearby to assist with technical issues.

Read full review Usability When signing into Motive upon entering and starting motor vehicle, the app and the transmitting unit pair immediately. Once paired it is extremely easy and efficiently started to populate the necessary unit information. Then entering the Work Order info is seamlessly entered to the E- log. Doing the pre and post vehicle checks is completed quite accurately.
Read full review Reliability and Availability I have had no issues with applications errors, system problems, or equipment. The items I need have been available in a reasonable amount of time. The only exception is when I have needed the correct cables sent to me and I couldn't even offer to pay for overnight myself. Manual logs are just a headache especially when you ordered the units and received them in enough time.
Read full review Support Rating The Support zteam for GFI was with us all the way through, and I believe that they had the best support team of all the products that we use and/or tested.
Read full review Support is super easy to get a hold of via the live chat feature, which is convenient; however, the helpfulness of the person I get on the live chat very much varies but for the majority of the people I get, I am usually sent links to different self help pages on the Motive website. So, support isn't unhelpful, but it could be better. However, we have a new account rep who has really been going above and beyond to help us out in the last couple of months.

Read full review Truck X customer support is extremely difficult to understand and they take a very long time to complete one task. Each time my husband or I called it was nothing short of 20 minutes and they would talk as though we were just too stupid to make their device work properly.
Read full review Return on Investment GFI Systems does save us a lot of time and makes it very convenient to manage clients. Remote access usually works well. For our business GFI Systems is a bit expensive. The total cost is like hiring a full time employee. It would be nice if the backup function was more robust and better thought out. Until then, we are seeking another service for our client's backup needs.
