Allowed us to achieve unification and standardization across our sites, making it easy to install and maintain
What we like the most is how easy it is to implement. I am able to bring fully functional virtual infrastructure in a matter of two hours with StorMagic SvSAN, compared to other technologies that are very complex. StorMagic SvSAN does not have hardware-specific requirements and is hypervisor agnostic, which makes it easier compared to competitors like HPE SimpliVity that are limited to specific hardware. This solution has allowed us to achieve unification and standardization across our sites, making it easy to install and maintain.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I find all the features of this solution excellent, and the ability to move data to the public cloud is valuable."
"StorMagic SvSAN significantly reduces downtime in our environment by allowing us to perform maintenance or system updates without disrupting user access."
"In the period we've been running the solution it's been working well and the redundancy has been flawless."
"StorMagic SvSAN helped us save around sixty percent on previous costs."
"The part I like most about it is just that it does not require a lot of touch. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and it is straightforward."
"The initial setup and installation are very easy with StorMagic because StorMagic has a VMware vCenter plugin."
"The solution is cost-effective and user-friendly."
"StorMagic SvSAN allows customers to eliminate the cost of SAN hardware; it's also 70% cheaper than competitors and provides all the enterprise feature requirements at low cost."
"It helps us prevent any data loss while working with the failover clusters."
 

Cons

"The pricing and the partnerships with AWS and Azure can be improved."
"They should enable data compression deduplication features for the platform."
"The StorMagic console needs embedded monitoring capabilities to improve interoperability with other platforms. While StorMagic offers open APIs, direct integration with popular monitoring tools like GearOps or Grafana is lacking."
"In terms of what could be improved in StorMagic SvSAN, I don't have a major issue with it, but its user interface should be more customer-oriented."
"One area for improvement would be to enhance the Edge Control capabilities. Currently, it shows the VSA and key providers but doesn't offer much in terms of VSA configuration management."
"StorMagic SvSAN can improve by simplifying the implementation and training."
"The deployment of StorMagic SvSAN is very small. However, you need some time to do it. It's important to make a test deployment before the real deployment."
"In the next release, StorMagic SvSAN should include multi-node clusters, which would allow storage spaces to be used more efficiently."
"It could be a little bit more intuitive in terms of the way you set it up initially."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on a per case basis."
"The licensing cost is $7,000 per two nodes for two terabytes."
"StorMagic SvSAN offers competitive pricing within the market."
"70% cheaper than competitors and provides all the enterprise feature requirements at low cost."
"The product has good pricing."
"The pricing for StorMagic is okay, but as a distributor, I suggest some reduction."
"I would rate the cost a one out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"It's fairly cheap when compared to other options. But it can be improved as some features may not be available in the standard license. The vendor positions it as an edge product, so it isn't suitable to compare with VMware vSAN or Nutanix because that's another product altogether."
"StorMagic SvSAN provided substantial savings."

What is your primary use case for StorMagic SvSAN?
