Galois vs Sift
A Sift alternative that also controls your instruments
Sift focuses on observability and analysis of test data in the cloud, but it is enterprise-sales-only and doesn't control your instruments or run your sequences. Galois spans the whole workflow: it drives the instruments, runs versioned test sequences, captures and analyzes the data, and generates reports — self-serve, with an airgapped on-prem option.
The open-source galois-edge daemon is free (Apache-2.0) and ships 573 instrument profiles across 135 manufacturers, so the data you analyze comes from the same platform that collected it.
Sift vs Galois
| Feature | Sift | Galois |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Enterprise sales only | Open-source install, self-serve |
| Instrument control | 573 profiles, any SCPI vendor | |
| Test sequencing | Visual builder, versioned | |
| Data capture + analysis | Built-in (snapshots, diff, curve fits) | |
| Airgapped deployment | On-prem, your hardware | |
| Open source | Edge daemon (Apache-2.0) |
Sift alternative — FAQ
- What is a good Sift alternative?
- Galois is a Sift alternative that also controls instruments and runs test sequences, not just analyzes data. It ships 573 instrument profiles, versioned sequencing, and capture/analysis, with a self-serve open-source core and an airgapped on-prem option.
- Can I run it on-premise or airgapped?
- Yes. Galois Enterprise On-Prem runs entirely on your hardware, airgapped, with self-hosted LLMs available. The open-source daemon is free to run anywhere.
