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

PIWIPE
Best when:
  • KVKK compliance — Turkey hosting, Turkish certificate, and local support required

Blancco
Suitable:
  • Large enterprise, international operations

  • Existing Blancco integration in place
BitRaser
Suitable:

  • Existing customer in the Stellar ecosystem
KillDisk
Suitable:
  • Low budget, disk-only erasure need
  • Individual or small IT team
  • No cloud console or mobile support needed
