TRUCE

Avantages

For what we are using the product for, Cellcontrol is far easier to implement. The alternative requires hardware connected directly to vehicle OBD ports. In some cases, this has actually caused problems with vehicle on board software which the manufacturer blamed on the device itself.

When you have the ability to mount the device to the windshield the solar cell removes practically all maintenance concerns of individual vehicles. There simply needs to be a routine check on battery power which can be done via the web-based console.

Inconvénients

We were hoping to integrate Cellcontrol in home brew software we are developing in house, however there was not an API available or at least not one made available to us.

Avantages

Helps protect drivers from getting distracted and keeps them focused on the road. Still allows the ability to make and receive calls via Bluetooth as well as use navigation while traveling (must be set up prior to driving).

Inconvénients

As technology changes rapidly, app has a lot of updates to keep up.

Avantages

There are no pros to this app. Definitely wouldn't recommend.

Inconvénients

This app continuously connects to the beacons when you are near by one and had blocked my phone while I am sitting still in an office. Someone doesn't even have to be driving near by. It also blocks all notifications and clears them so you have no knowledge when you stop. I once had a fraudulent charge on a credit card that I learned of due to a notification on my phone. If I had truce on my phone at the time I wouldn't have learned about it in time and been out thousands of dollars. This app is for people who think they live in a perfect world. Fine block people from making calls while driving, nothing wrong with that. But that's where it should end. If it connects while stationary and locks the phone even once, it should be considered a failure.

Avantages

Cell control makes staying handsfree easy. It does all of the work so my guys aren't tempted to answer the phone or text someone while driving. I also like how the device is solar powered.

Inconvénients

The app installation is a bit cumbersome.

Avantages

This is easy to use and easy to manage from the back office.

Inconvénients

After 2 years I have no complaints about the software.

Avantages

Ability to whitelist certain numbers (for calling only...all texts are blocked while driving) was a plus. They offer both a bluetooth windshield solar powered device (for when a phone should only be blocked in a specific vehicle) or a phone app that will block in all vehicles, regardless. Our sales agent and phone support was particularly helpful.

Inconvénients

Of the 10 phones using the bluetooth windshield device, only 1 had issues with bluetooth connectivity. It kept trying to connect to the vehicle itself. I did not have time to resolve the issue.
If the windshield is ever replaced the risk is the windshield device gets lost.

Avantages

Ease of use and Setup plus passenger mode for non-driving employees

Inconvénients

Sensitivity with the system disconnecting when not in motion. Have gotten use to it now

Avantages

The software was easy to configure and install.

Inconvénients

Not capable to also serve as a GPS tracking device.

Avantages

It serves its function well creating habits of no cell phones and safer driving.

Inconvénients

I do not like that sometimes random notifications get through, and also the cornering is very strict also come of the speed limits arnt correct and you dont have an option to put in a ticket to get a speed changed.

Avantages

Easy to install, great data comes from the tracking devices and is user friendly to access for multiple users.

Inconvénients

Charging of the units in the vehicles is unclear and not the easiest to plug in.

Avantages

You get alerts if any thing is tampered with.

Inconvénients

Haven't seen any issues yet, sometimes they need a battery recharge if sitting in a dark shop idle for a while but that is simple maintenance.

Avantages

It is user friendly when it comes to being an Administrator for Users, Devices, and Triggers. Along with creating specific Policies, along with easy to manage adjustments through the reports.

Inconvénients

The Tracking needs some improvement. When Data is behind the Tracking is behind.

Avantages

It consistently blocks apps we do not want our drivers using while in motion

Inconvénients

Sometimes it's frustrating trying to switch between navigation and music apps.

Avantages

This product is easy to install and difficult to circumvent

Inconvénients

I would like the cell control devise to replace my GPS locators in their entirety ( since cell control needs to be connected to an enrolled phone to communicate)

Avantages

blocking communication while i am driving keeps my mind on the road.

Inconvénients

drains battery on phone and causes apps to be open constantly.

Avantages

I like the safety aspects of the system when it works.

Inconvénients

The app is intermittent and doesn't always block phone from use while driving.

Avantages

Does what it is designed to do. The fact that it only affects the users phone when in a company vehicle and not in other or personal vehicles. It is very effective in blocking texting and calling without hands free while driving.

Inconvénients

There is a big difference between the IOS and Android version of the software. The Android version is easier on the client i feel.

Avantages

Makes our employees safe while working around the public

Inconvénients

Nothing really. The software is straight forward.

Avantages

It does shut down the phone usage.

Inconvénients

it's hard to get passenger mode to work.
Cellcontrol does not provide good details of how the items such as aggressive driving are graded (based on what...only they know)

Cellcontrol does not provide reports or data that would help the customer decide how to focus on their drivers to improve safe driving

Avantages

We have over 80 vehicles in our fleet and this was very easy to deploy.

Inconvénients

Nothing in particular stands out as something that we do not like.

Avantages

Simplicity but nothing else really - needs much improvement

Inconvénients

It's not accurate, does not have good tracking capabilities, history is not accurate, speed limits are wrong most of the time. This device has a box inside the vehicle which connects to the phone but is still not accurate nor reliable - how does uber and lyft do such a good job at tracking real time movements without such mentioned box inside the vehicle.

Avantages

The fact that we can build monthly reports to provide visibility to Managers for those utilizing & not utilizing the units.

Inconvénients

That the units are a little difficult to remove when replacing the vehicles

Avantages

I like the concept, but unless you have a company phone with no other MDM software it is very hard to manage. Several steps also.

Inconvénients

The steps to maintain, site usage etc. Assigning a trigger, then a user and then pushing the SMS and hoping they accept. It is too much.

Avantages

The ability to prevent text, and calls while the vehicle is in motion.

Inconvénients

Before the recent update, it was a challenge to get the app and device paired.

Avantages

The online dashboard is so easy to use and a great tool for tracking data.
We used it to create funny mini games to track key indicators

Inconvénients

The software requires an install into employees actual phone system rather than just through use of an app or other device
