Direct product vs product comparisons are routinely prepared for the sales reps to use. These are mainly to inform the reps who aren't technical enough to do their own comparisons, and can actually prevent hyperbolic claims made by over enthusiastic sales types. making public comparisons is less frequent as it telegraphs weakness and actually promotes the competitors. I wouldn't want to compete against X32 without moving faders. I suspect that is not a bullet point in the comparison.
