The only viable one if you're not DK is silver leash from FG. And it kinda sucks, which is a big reason why DK rules tanking.
Frozen Gate is super super awkward, and I've only seen it used effectively in PvP.
Beckoning Armor is hot garbage. You can't pull what you want, and it even pulls enemies out of the aoe. Awful skill.
Swarm Mother' main issue is opportunity cost--you could be using a much better monster set--and the pull is reactive--you can't just choose to pull something, you need to block a ranged attack for it to work.

It's certainly not as easy to use as the standard grab such as Silver Leash or DK Chain, but it's more or less passives, has a very short cooldown, doesn't cost any ressources. When you get used to it it's a very interesting set. Now, if you use swarm mother you must have another monster set to use in situations that don't require a grab.
So far there are two situations where I'd rather use Silver Leash than Swarm Mother : vDSA & vBRP
