Vanta offers a read‑only agent on devices that provides visibility into compliance data, allowing customers to bypass the need for full device management. However, Vanta’s approach means you miss out on automation for policy deployment, software installation, and patching—which makes compliance labor‑intensive and error‑prone. Furthermore, Vanta lacks critical features like browser security and Shadow IT detection that are essential as AI agents become more prevalent. In contrast, Swif.ai delivers a full‑fledged, automated device management platform that not only provides deep compliance automation but also secures your devices with advanced browser security, real‑time Shadow IT detection, and AI governance.
