Our company was recently purchased which means they have their own software tools and we have ours. I was given the opportunity to compare/contrast both toolsets and to see if converting to their tool is feasible (or vice versa).
What best graph/chart could I use standing up the software tools? Its almost as if I need to imbed Risk Analysis dashboard into a SWOT yet easy for management to comprehend. Saving Changes...

There are numerous ways to show this. To keep it simple, I'd recommend a weighted decision matrix. Use a simple spreadsheet and in the left column, define the criteria you'll use to compare the software (ease of use, price, compatibility with other software, collaboration, etc). In the next column, add a weight score to each criterion (price might be more important than ease of use, for example). Important: do this first before you start comparing your choices; you may even want to get stakeholder buy-in before moving on.
Next, in the next columns, list each product you're comparing and give them scores. Multiply those score by the weight, then add the total score.
Do a web search for this method to see examples.
The benefit of this is that it's simple and transparent. Your audience can see the total score, but they can also see the breakdown of the total score, and they can see how you weighted each criterion. Just be prepared, though, because the company that bought your company is probably just going to keep using their software, anyway. Saving Changes...
