Firstly I will preface this by saying I have little to no knowledge of the Huns, Magyars, Avars, etc... What I am giving is a description of the Mongol military machine and its challenges and hoping someone who knows something about the other groups might turn up and compare notes as it were. If anyone who sees this knows someone who could do so please summon them. Now onto what I do know.

The Mongols definitely had excellent organisation and leadership. Prior to Genghis Khan the Mongols had organised themselves militarily by clan. Each group follows their leader usually with vaguely aristocratic blood who in turns owes allegiance to someone else, who owes allegiance to someone else and so on. Genghis got rid of this and instead organised his armies decimally, 10 was the smallest unit, 100 men was the next size up, etc... This went all the way to ten thousand. Officers were appointed by merit and as a result we some terrifically talented generals like Tsudobei and Jebe rise from the ranks. To give you an idea of the level of talent of these guys Tsudobei lead a successful invasion of Russia in winter.

That said the Mongols were in some ways lucky. It's argued that they may have benefited substantially from his enemies weaknesses. The best example of this is the invasion of the Khwarzhemid Empire. The Shah in an effort to protect his entire territory spread his armies thin across his borders. As a result the Mongols punched through into the empire like tearing through tissue. By contrast the Shah's son, Jalal ad-Din, had advocated concentrating their forces. When he did so and applied his rather effective tactics to fighting the Mongols he managed to inflict some tactical set backs, although by this point it was all to late and the empire was dying.

Yes! In one specific area. They had siege engineers recruited from Asia. They were extensively using artillery against enemy forces in ways that European armies definitely weren't, including gunpowder.

Other steppe raiders weren't generally interested in siege, because it wasn't profitable for them. The Mongols laid waste to some of the most fortified strongholds in the Middle East.

Better leadership and organization. Essentially, they were all at the same technological level- nomadic horse-archers.

That's the thing about horse-archers though- they're just really, really hard to fight. Unless you're also a horse-archer. They all utilized basically the same horn/wood composite bow, which was just about the only "technological" edge that horse nomads had over more settled people.

The historical lesson that comes out of studying Central Asian history is this: Beware organized horse-archers. They are fearsomely powerful. The Mongols demonstrated this under Genghis Khan, as did the Jurchen (Manchu) under Nurhaci.
