Eight Years Later, Vivisimo Raises $4 Million For Enterprise Search.
But the operative word here is “little.” In enterprise search it is up against Google, Microsoft (which just plunked down $1.2 billion for Fast Search & Transfer), and Endeca (which has raised more than $50 million, most recently from SAP and Intel). All of those companies have a lot more dry powder than Vivisimo in an increasingly competitive market. Vivisimo hasn’t taken the enterprise search world by storm so far. Why would another $4 million make any difference?
(This is not meant to be a review of Vivisimo’s enterprise technology—I have not seen it. If anyone out there has seriously evaluated Vivisimo versus the other enterprise search products, please share your opinions in comments. )
