The Nudge Security Alternative

Swif.ai vs. Nudge Security

When it comes to access management, don’t settle for a solution that only reads directory data. Swif.ai not only provides read access from Google Workspace and Azure AD like Nudge Security, but it also delivers comprehensive device management, advanced browser security, real‑time Shadow IT detection, and proactive AI governance—all in one modern platform.

The Nudge Security Alternative

Nudge Security focuses exclusively on reading access data from Google Workspace and Azure AD—offering basic insights into your directory permissions. While this read‑only approach provides a degree of visibility, it lacks enforcement capabilities, advanced browser security, and comprehensive device management. Swif.ai delivers the same directory access while also providing robust device management, real‑time Shadow IT detection, AI‑powered Browser Security (essential for blocking unauthorized access when employees sign up for password accounts on apps), and complete compliance automation.
