A similar thread recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11178940

should we keep them under the same company as it has a stronger goodwill in the market.

It is, candidly, unlikely anyone cares. Software products get the loyalty; the companies backing them are often unknown to the end-user and/or purchaser. This is true even in cases where you would swear blind that it cannot possibly be true. (Not at liberty to discuss specific conversations at ex-clients; suffice it to say that "How is it freaking possible that N% of our users of $FOO are unaware that we make $BAR even when they pay for both?!?" is a thing that has been said.)

Thank you for suggesting relevant thread and yes what you said makes sense. It is unlikely that users would care about the company, who is backing the product.
