Since my company makes Source Integrity, that's what we use. My
experience with other source control (or Software Configuration
Management) software is limited, so I can't really speak to our
differences or advantages. So, click on our website below and surf the
marketing spin!
As far as UNIX versus PC, we sell SI for UNIX as well (MKS' first
product was MKS Toolkit, used for cross-platform development, so we
definitely speak UNIX.)
And for those of you involved in Intranet development, we also produce
Web Integrity, a web content management tool. As always, check it out
below.
