"Robust Connectivity in Challenging Locations"
4/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I like that Pelion IoT Connectivity performs well even in remote locations with poor cellular infrastructure. The support from the Pelion team is also very good, and the cost is very good for us. We appreciate the session data provided by the platform, which helps us find issues related to providers in certain locations. The SIM refresh tool is quite handy for making a new connection when our gateway gets stuck in a bad connection. The initial setup was very easy for us, as we use a Linux-based platform, so we have tools to change connection settings without any effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I would like to be able to block certain providers through the Pelion UI. Also, I want to see the tariffs and updates for different locations. Since we have customers in both the EU and US, having a common platform would be helpful as the current setup adds complexity to our operations. We would like to view all our SIMs in one platform, perhaps by having a 'link' for US devices to be shown as EU devices with a distinction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined SIM Management for Remote Monitoring"
4/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I appreciate that Pelion IoT Connectivity organizes all the SIMs into one place, which makes it easy to connect to our remote sensing devices remotely, change settings, see live status, and troubleshoot. I like that everything is centralized and it allows me to assign access to different contractors who may be onsite, making management streamlined. The ability to easily give access to different contractors and associate a DINA for remote login to our devices is also valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

There could be a better way to see groups of SIMs, since my company has all available globally, I want to only be able to see Australian SIMs, which I can do with the right search word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Experience with This Software"
4/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

Pelion is not limited to just one operator. It brings together various carriers and technologies, such as cellular and LPWAN, allowing you to deploy devices in a wide range of locations without the hassle of managing multiple SIM contracts or dealing with custom integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

Since Pelion brings together agreements from several carriers, the pricing structure can seem less transparent compared to working directly with a single MNO. At times, figuring out the rate variations between different regions or networks involves more communication and clarification than I initially anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective IoT Management with Cost and Billing Challenges"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I use Pelion IoT Connectivity to track APN traffic and monitor data usage on our SIMs, which is really helpful. I am particularly pleased with the diagnostics and APN tracking features. They allow us to demonstrate to customers that our device is attempting to connect, pinpointing issues with the charger or signal rather than the SIM itself. This gives us clarity on operational challenges. Plus, the initial setup of Pelion IoT Connectivity was very easy for us, which made the implementation process smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

They give huge termination fees when we swap over SIM contracts. They also have misbilled us before, admitted it was their mistake, and taken weeks to send us back the funds. If something asks for a terminated SIM to be reconnected, allow the user a grace period to stop this before setting the payment term in stone. Also, make contract swapping easier.

"Exceptional Support and Proactive Solutions from Pelion"
4/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

Support, when there are issues, is very thorough. We've always had good engagement with Pelion and they are responsive to our changing needs as our business and demands grow.

Pelion are also proactive in suggesting better pricing models where it's appropriate, and take time to work through and explain these. They are also willing to tailor these models in order to bring disparate SIM offerings into a single coherent structure.

Help with setting up complex VPN interfaces to 3rd party systems has also been invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

There is nothing that I dislike; it can take time to get new API features ready, however. We have a large SIM estate and the potential for things to go wrong increases with scale so it's vital to get as near real-time information as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Platform, Needs Reliable Connectivity Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I absolutely love how Pelion IoT Connectivity centralizes all device connections in one place. This feature significantly simplifies device management for my team and me. With over 200 devices under our management for various customers, having multiple tags per device is incredibly beneficial. It allows our support team to swiftly find the correct device by searching using the references most familiar to them, without the need to remember intricate details like SIM code numbers. Additionally, my general impression is that Pelion IoT Connectivity's setup process is very intuitive and easy, which is a huge plus when introducing new team members or scaling operations. These aspects make Pelion IoT Connectivity an indispensable tool for my team's daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I find the Offline/Online status button to be unreliable. It displays SIM cards as being online when they are actually offline, and vice versa. This inconsistency undermines its effectiveness as a first step in our troubleshooting process, leaving us uncertain about the actual status of a SIM. Additionally, the feature that allowed us to export the SIM database has not been updated for some time, rendering it outdated and less useful than before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Global IoT Connectivity Made Simple"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

I like that Pelion IoT Connectivity provides accessible connectivity to our devices globally. The simplicity of the solution is a standout feature for me, along with the dashboard that makes it easy to monitor and manage our devices. Navigating and producing reports from the dashboard is a simple task compared to some of their competitors. Additionally, Pelion's customer service has made us prefer them over a competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pelion IoT Connectivity?

We have tariffs for our SIM cards which are based on a regional basis, but the dashboard does not list all countries and network providers that are part of that tariff. I need to request this data from my account manager each and every time. The ability to deactivate SIMs via the portal would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
