While FleetDM is a popular open‑source endpoint management tool, it’s designed mainly for product teams and isn’t built for the seamless deployment and comprehensive security needs of modern IT operations. Swif.ai delivers real‑time Shadow IT detection and AI‑powered Browser Security across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android—all backed by transparent, flat pricing and effortless integration with your existing directory tools.

Pricing
Transparent, flat pricing per employee
Open‑source or usage‑based; hidden costs can emerge when factoring in enterprise support and customizations
Open‑source foundation provides flexibility and community-driven innovation.
Solid basic endpoint management for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Lacks advanced real‑time Shadow IT detection and AI‑powered Browser Security.
Employees can freely use AI tools without centralized controls.
Requires manual oversight and lacks automated workflows for regulatory compliance.
Less flexibility when integrating with diverse directory tools.
Not a turnkey solution—designed for product teams, meaning it’s not easy to deploy across large, enterprise environments without dedicated engineering resources.
While the core platform is open‑source, enterprise support and additional features can quickly add up.
