The two companies position themselves very differently - Sand talks about themselves as if they expect to be used as an analytic DBMS. By contrast, in my conversations with Clearpace, they offered access to the data, but not high-performance analytics. One can argue that they are after similar use cases, but that's not the story being told. For me, that was part of the problem. Curt, thanks for the mention.
