I'll not comment on whether it was financial difficulty on the part of
Vision, or sheer determination on the part of Data Mirror.  But it does
appear that they tried to purchase Vision:

One not on the list and should be is Data Mirror.

My quick take on them is this.

  Mimix uses the OS remote journaling.  A big + (Data Mirror does not).
  Data Mirror in addition to their HA has real good data
transformation/replication to AS/400 and others.
  Vision Solutions has had financial problems and I think I have heard
rumors that Data Mirror wanted to buy them.
