With StarWind Storage Appliance, the payments made towards the licensing part of the product are on a per-node basis, making it cost-effective for us to use the solution in our company. StarWind Storage Appliance is a cost-effective product when compared to Nutanix or VMware. StarWind Storage Appliance is a great option with respect to cost.

The cost is determined by various factors, including the amount of terabyte storage you require, the number of nodes you want to purchase, and the duration of your maintenance agreement. From our perspective, the cost of what it offers is quite reasonable and even considered cost-effective. It aligns well with the budget constraints of small enterprises.

That is a problem with StarWind they do not tell you the license cost. On the homepage, you can not see the pricing. There are different solutions, free and standard costs.

StarWind is really transparent on price. Software cost is on the website, and they will work with you on what hardware you want to run on.

Cost is really something that attracts us to begin the journey with StarWind many years ago but then we simply realized that their solution works with superb performances and are really happy to stick to it. We use it on HCI mode where we just purchased the software and build our own solution with our own hardware and also we have purchased a ready-made appliance from StarWind, both work fine and we are happy with them.

Licensing is straightforward, per node and capacity, with only 2 capacity tiers. It wasn't difficult. They will install it onsite or preconfigure it and ship it to you. We saved a ton by installing it ourselves. The pricing was great and simplifying to iSCSI saved us even more money in the end.

StarWind by far provides the best bang for the buck. The big players are a stretch price-wise for the clients in this range, and StarWind beats them every time.
