Not Diskeeper versus PerfectDisk — it’s really Diskeeper and PerfectDisk
No, there’s no merger coming and Hollywood is not joining forces with the federal government. Look up any list of greatest rivalries, and more than likely you’ll see Lakers vs Celtics, Yankees vs Red Sox, Ali vs Frazier, New Zealand vs Australia, Coke vs Pepsi, among others. It’s doubtful you’ll find Diskeeper versus PerfectDisk, but in the world of defrag, these are the two that really matter most.
You might hear people say that they want to see different teams in the World Series or NBA Finals, for example, but time after time, the numbers (tv ratings) prove that the classic rivalries draw the biggest ratings and generate the most interest. So it is in the IT world. Sure, Microsoft has a built-in defragger in Windows (its very existence proves its necessity), and there’s a bunch of freeware out there that in some instances might serve a purpose. But when it comes to the real world, the world where IT professionals draw a paycheck from their employer and have their reputations and their companies’ bottom lines on the line, there is one disk defrag choice they make - Diskeeper or PerfectDisk. 
Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies, federal, state and local agencies and thousands of other large and small enterprises look to Diskeeper and PerfectDisk for their corporate disk defragmentation needs. Some may choose to debate the necessity of defragmentation, but larger drives, larger files, virtualization and other evolving disk technologies have not eliminated fragmentation as a problem, particularly in the corporate world. And that’s why every day these oraganizations make investments in disk defrag software from Diskeeper and PerfectDisk. They look, they read, they research, they test. They invest time and resources in talking to and working with Diskeeper and PerfectDisk engineers. And then they invest company and government dollars — millions of dollars a year — to purchase this software for their servers, desktops and laptops — so their workers are more productive, their businesses run more efficiently, and their companies’ and agencies’ costs are kept down.
In this era of corporate scrutiny, these millions of dollars spent annually on disk defragmentation software can’t be done frivolously. The need is real, the value is real.
Sometimes free or second-tier is okay, sometimes it’s not. Just as other great rivalries throughout the world stir the passions and energies of their participants, so too do we enjoy our competition with Diskeeper - it makes us both better, and the consumer benefits.
Game on.
