Vivisimo Velocity 5

Cost: Starts at $25,000 annually

Platforms:

Windows, Solaris, and Linux

Bottom Line: Vivisimo Velocity, which is based on an SOA, melds a search engine, content integrator, and clustering engine. It's also one of the few solutions that searches and indexes enterprise content without requiring pre-built taxonomies and then presents categorized results. Version 5 reaches inside databases, SharePoint, and Documentum, and restricts results based on users' authentication. Furthermore, this update should please IT staff with its simplified administration.
