Care to elaborate RV? You can’t say something is simplistic without explaining yourself…

athgeek’s earlier comment seems a bit simplistic. these two are clearly direct competitors. another company of interest in this comparision is seagate/metalincs. seagate bought metalincs last year.

Beth: E-discovery is such a complex topic. As businesses create ever-growing mountains of electronic records, lawsuits fight over the records in e-discovery and record retention disputes. Knowing that litigation is inevitable, businesses can use technology proactively to render the records potentially more benign. –Ben http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/05/nix-smoking-gun-e-discovery.html

It’s a silly argument because the two vendors do completely different things — Kazeon is a data collection/culling product that filters terabytes down to litigation-relevant gigabytes or megabytes at high speed; Clearwell excels at searching through those relevant megabytes and finding smoking guns or exculpatory evidence…true e-discovery. So Kazeon is the bigger end of the funnel, and Clearwell is the microscope at the smaller end of it. Simple to distinguish. Totally different value props. The two make a great team.
