Find out what your peers are saying about Nutanix, StarWind, DataCore and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."This synchronization is easy with StorMagic, and we can establish availability between servers."
"What I found most valuable in StorMagic SvSAN is integration. As a software-defined storage solution, it's also very easy to use and it's the trend in the market today. StorMagic SvSAN also made the customer happy because the customer could use his existing hardware with it. The customer had rack-mounted storage, so he didn't want to purchase a dedicated hardware for storage purposes. He just upgraded his hard disk drives."
"StorMagic SvSAN's best feature is that it is platform agnostic."
"It gives zero downtime and it works with two nodes rather than three nodes, unlike other solutions."
"StorMagic SvSAN is a very effective solution and the interface is good."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"The technical support is good."
"Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."
"I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"In the next release, StorMagic SvSAN should include multi-node clusters, which would allow storage spaces to be used more efficiently."
"There are two features missing: there's no REST API functionality, and there is no date duplication in it."
"The only improvement area I can see is their licensing. For example, the memory caching feature is only available in an advanced license. Normally, it's in a standard license. It would be better if they had memory caching features in the product. Some backup features should also be in the product"
"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 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."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"Backup speed should be increased, and there should be more functionality."
"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."
"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
