i never performed a thorough head-to-head comparison between the two.
valgrind has a few limitations - i didn't check if purify can overcome
them or not. if it can - it could be a reason to use both of them. i
think i did once check a program, that had a bug that valgrind didn't

We have a big legacy embedded code we need to maintain. Often, we wish to

The code is written with C.

valgrind should be your first tool for the task. use it and fix all the
errors it reports.
what valgrind does not catch, are:
1. corruptions with global variables.
2. many corruptions on the stack.
but it catches a lot of other errors.
i use no other tools at work - except for as many of
valgrind will tell you whenever you are using an un-ninitialized
variable. it'll do so using runtime analysis.
have you tried using valgrind at all?
