"Effortless Global Connectivity"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I really appreciate the centralized management of Pelion IoT Connectivity and the ability to use the same hardware SIM cards to switch data plans for different countries. It's great that it automatically picks the best local network available in each country, and we can do all of this without having to change operators or suppliers for each country. This makes managing mobile data connectivity internationally relatively easy for us. It saves us a lot of time and means we don't have to worry about compatibility with different providers in different countries because the hardware and supplier are always the same. This allows us to offer effectively a global service without wasting time on setting up networks with local suppliers, which would be very time-consuming. Additionally, the initial setup was relatively easy, with test sync cards provided, making the implementation process not particularly complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

So the pricing for some of the territories is good, and it provides good options. But, there are some countries that they don't really have specific plans for, and so it falls under their sort of global plan, which is pretty expensive. And so, the cost aspect in those territories is a bit of a barrier, and it makes the service kind of more expensive than what we think it should be in those areas.

"Seamless Integration and Reliable Support with Pelion"
4/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

Pelion provides a consistent infrastructure and the flexibility to use SIMs from various networks while retaining the same APN credentials. This is especially valuable when we need to swap SIMs onsite, as it avoids configuration changes and keeps deployments straightforward.

We make extensive use of Pelion’s API to automatically monitor data usage across our SIM estate in real time. This gives us visibility of issues typically within an hour, allowing us to react quickly and minimise disruption. Support has also been very strong, first-line usually resolve issues efficiently, and escalations happen when needed.

Our relationship with Pelion goes back to the mid-2000s, when we operated a unique setup. Pelion worked directly with Orange (at the time) to ensure SIMs supplied through them would integrate seamlessly with our infrastructure, and they achieved this within just a few weeks. Later, when we migrated entirely from our own legacy setup to the Pelion platform, the transition was again seamless.

Integration with the Pelion API was straightforward, and using it has enabled more automated, streamlined workflows for key operational tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

There is very little to dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity. As with any long-term relationship, we’ve encountered the occasional issue, but Pelion have always worked proactively to resolve them.

If anything, my only minor criticism is that the API could be expanded to include more functions that would help streamline processes within our internal platform. Additional endpoints would allow us to automate more of our workflows and further improve operational efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Support and Service from Pelion"
5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

We deal with many IOT providers and by far Pelion has the best 1st class Support and customer service by a long way. Technical leads and access to them excellent and the promptness has saved us in many of the recent 2G crisis etc. Our account Managers have been excellent in finding products and doing the best to get the right price and product to fit our business.

"Efficient and Time-Saving Solution for Vehicle Monitoring"
4/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

Regarding the Pelion application, the system is efficient, the tools are very useful, and it significantly reduces time by providing smooth work tracking especially for vehicle monitoring, data usage, and overall operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

The system requires a few improvements, such as adding the ‘Retired’ option for SIMs that are no longer in use. Currently, we must send a manual request to the support team, which is time-consuming. Implementing the Retired option will ensure a smoother and more efficient workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Remote Connectivity, Cost-Effective Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I like that Pelion IoT Connectivity provides a reliable and stable platform for remote connections to our field devices across the country. It's really cost-effective compared to competitors. The setup was straightforward, and our team was up to speed very quickly. I also appreciate being able to connect to each device easily through a single platform with a reliable signal, saving our operators and projects team a lot of time since we don't have to do multiple checks with other network providers.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

Sometimes it doesn't always choose the best network. Rare issue though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless SIM Management with an Intuitive Dashboard"
5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

The dashboard, the way I can easily implement sim refreshes & pings automatically instead of emailing a support team. I use the dashboard at least once a week. I can integrate it easy with our customers and their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I wish I could terminate SIMs on the platform, instead of emailing the customer support team. Also wish the recent data/downloads analytics were more detailed. Would be useful to have a profile of this months data usage vs. last months to see if there is overconsumption this month, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast Diagnostics and Detailed Insights for SIM Card Management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I mainly use Pelion to diagnose issues with mobile internet usage via SIM cards. I appreciate the quick search and diagnostic tools, and detailed information provided. It's easy to use, and I find it seamless and quick to dip in and out of every day as part of my routine. I've had very few interactions with Pelion support - as I've had very few issues - but they have consistently been helpful and knowledgeable when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

It's hard to think of anything - if I was wishlisting for extra features, it would be nice to have ping test functionality within the SIM lookup menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rock-Solid Connectivity and Outstanding Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

The platform makes SIM management painless. It’s reliable, the interface is clear, and support jumps in fast when I need something. I don’t have to babysit devices or chase operators — it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

Nothing major — the core SIM management works well. The only annoyance is that some information in the portal takes a few extra steps to reach. It’s a minor workflow gripe, not a real problem with the service itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient SIM Management with Pelion IoT Connectivity"
4/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I like how straightforward Pelion IoT Connectivity makes SIM management at scale. The clean and intuitive dashboard allows me to easily check device status, data usage, and connectivity health at a glance. It provides a centralized way to activate, monitor, and control connectivity across our deployed devices, ensuring reliable communication and easier fleet-level management. Pelion also gives us clear visibility into SIM usage and status, helping us quickly identify issues in the field.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

While Pelion IoT Connectivity works well overall, a few areas could be improved. Some parts of the platform's interface can feel a little slow or require extra clicks to get detailed SIM insights, so a more streamlined workflow would help. Reporting is useful but could be more customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
