App Experience
Pentair IntelliCenter: more polished app, better widget support, larger smart home integration footprint (Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home via bridge). Jandy iAquaLink: clean reliable app, slightly fewer features.
Wired Ecosystem
Both work best when the entire equipment pad is from one brand. Pentair IntelliFlo + IntelliBrite + IntelliChlor + IntelliCenter is the tightest integration. Same for Jandy ePump + WaterColors + AquaPure + iAquaLink.

Both can control mixed equipment via auxiliary relays. Pentair has slightly better third-party heater control. Jandy is more forgiving on legacy Hayward equipment.
