I would say close but malzahammer fufills a different role.

Swain is a dueling tank and a general team fight Mage.

Malzahammer is great at bursting down targets but slightly less teamfight.

Now for a comparison of the usefullness of their ults On their kits as they bot make the champion.

Swains ult gives him almost tank like survive as long as he isn't ignited. With his green ball of energy(sorry forgot name and skill letter) and nevemove he is able to heal a lot as well as stay close to nuke.

Malzahammers ult is there to chain his combos together as well as lock down a target for focus. It's very strong but is countered by cc and qss.

I would say they are even you just have to choose

Dueling teamfighter with good sustain shutdown by ignite easy.(swain)

Or dueling single target damage powerhouse shut down by cc and qss. (malzahammer).

Hope I helped in a non biased manner.
