PurifyPlus was an old enterprise software similar to valgrind for Sun/Solaris. It eventually got Linux and Windows support, but for more than a decade has been one of those undeveloped systems milking legacy enterprise subscriptions as it slowly bitrots into uselessness. It was bought by IBM and then passed on to Unicom. These days it is not a reasonable choice for anyone not a legacy user.

Not sure if PurifyPlus existed for HP-UX, but I know Purify did (at a very previous job, we even managed to find a small memory leak in the standard libc, which we filed with HP; unfortunately, a repro required having a Purify license).
