Where PIWIPE Stands Out
Six features the other three don't match
Mobile + Disk in One Console
Android (Knox), iPhone, HDD, SSD, NVMe, USB — all from one console. The other three either license mobile separately or don't offer it at all; lowers TCO for ITAD operations.
iPhone Parts Verification
Detect original/replaced status for battery, screen, cameras, Touch ID; auto-recorded on certificate. A clear differentiator for buyback and ITAD workflows — not offered by the other three.
Customer-Owned Certificate Storage
Certificates can auto-sync to the customer's own FTP/SFTP server. A critical data sovereignty advantage for banks, government, and organizations with "data must not leave my infrastructure" policies.
ITAD Mode — Customer Management
One-click ITAD mode — operators add customers, assign each certificate to a specific customer, with per-customer reporting and filtering. Multi-tenant architecture for refurbishers, ITADs, and service operations.
Transparent SaaS Pricing
All packages and prices published openly. Blancco uses request-a-quote; with PIWIPE you choose your tier without a sales call.
Fast Onboarding
Self-service setup in hours. No implementation team wait; go live the same day with free demo + docs. Local-language support in TR/EU hours.
Which One When
The right product for your scenario
- KVKK compliance — Turkey hosting, Turkish certificate, and local support required
- Mobile (iPhone/Android) and disk wipe from one console
- iPhone parts verification adds value in ITAD processes
- SMB, healthcare facility, ITAD, public sector, law firm
- Large enterprise, international operations
- 20+ algorithm choice mandatory (special contracts)
- Existing Blancco integration in place
- U.S./global ITAD, mostly disk-only
- Existing customer in the Stellar ecosystem
- Low budget, disk-only erasure need
- Individual or small IT team
- No cloud console or mobile support needed
