HiveOs is not a profit switch tool. I have used Nicehash, I still use Awesome Miner in some machines (the ones in my house, since I dont trust Windows to be left alone in remote places), I have used SMOS a lot (and still manage some of my friends rigs there), but after testing HiveOS, I have never looked back.

AwesomeMiner would be the most comparable to HiveOS.  Here how I think they compare:
Where AwesomeMiner is better than HiveOS:
- Profit Switch algorithm (although you cannot trust the default pre-configured ones in there: zpool, hashrefinery, ahashtool.  they report misleding difficulty through their api);
- You can see how many $$ you are getting in real-time (remember this is based on estimated, and not realized gains).  this requires you to maintain coins (maybe using external tools), doing benchmarks, but it works.
- New miners are usually found more easily for windows (at least the precompiled ones);

Where HiveOS is better than AwesomeMiner:
- It is Linux.  More stable, no problems with windows defender, auto-update, performance degradation over time, etc.  Demands less RAM, runs from a usb stick;
- GUI has a lot more informations and graphs.  I have the Premium License of AM, but it just allows me to export csv files.  With HiveOs, I check the monitor homepage and, in a second, I know everything is ok (or not);
- You can monitor and control your rigs from any web browser, from the Internet.  AM has the cloud services, but it is paid and less complete;
