While Hexnode offers a solution for mobile device and endpoint management, it’s built on an older system that many users find clunky and cumbersome. In contrast, Swif.ai delivers real‑time Shadow IT detection and AI‑powered Browser Security across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android—backed by transparent, flat pricing and the flexibility to integrate with your preferred directory tools.
