"Intuitive Resource Management with Minor Glitches"
What do you like best about StorMagic?

I love how the resourcing screen is a lifesaver and visually intuitive, making scheduling so much less painful with clear indicators like red blocks for overallocated resources and green spaces for availability. The forecast versus actual view on the project dashboards is brilliant, helping me see when a project might run out of money before having awkward conversations with clients. It's like my command center for managing resources and tracking billable hours, saving me time and making project management smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StorMagic?

I really don't like that there's no proper undo button in the resource scheduler. It gives me anxiety because one slip of the mouse and I can accidentally book someone for the wrong month. Also, the search bar is super literal. If you don't type the project name exactly right, it acts like it never heard of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable, User-Friendly with Stellar Features"
What do you like best about StorMagic?

I like StorMagic for its excellent system administration features and user-friendly interface, which make it reliable and stable. I appreciate StorMagic's advanced monitoring system and the centralized cloud-based management that greatly enhances my data handling efficiency. The seamless integration with VMware and vSphere is another highlight that streamlines operations, making the integration process smooth and hassle-free. Additionally, I value the virtual SAN capability, which supports robust virtualization and networking management. StorMagic works flawlessly, and ever since the initial minimal issue, it has been running perfectly fine. The combination of these features offers me a comprehensive and efficient solution for my needs, reflected by my high likelihood of recommending StorMagic to others.

"Effortless Shared Storage with Seamless Integration"
What do you like best about StorMagic?

I like that SvSAN is easy to install and works well on existing servers. It quickly turns two servers into shared storage without needing extra hardware. It supports Hyper-V and VMware, which helps us keep everything consistent across sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StorMagic?

The web console could be easier to use, especially when setting up or changing storage. Licensing can get costly if you add more capacity or servers, so it’s best to plan ahead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best in the market"
What do you like best about StorMagic?

The software is one of the best tools on the market. Instead of buying a SAN and having to set up high-speed network connections, you can have a cluster storage within your servers, fast, reliable, and easy to maintain. Compared to the competition, it is affordable and the service is exceptional. I had it running for years without any updates, any maintenance, any complaints - that is a workhorse, not a diva. It is easy to set up, there are many videos online from the company that show the setup step by step. Integration is very simple, I have a subdirectory on my cluster servers called 'shared'; here you put all your data and config in, that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StorMagic?

I am using it for years and I have nothing to complain, honestly nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Multi-Server Management with Outstanding Support"
What do you like best about StorMagic?

I really appreciate StorMagic because it provides wonderful customer service. This level of support is very important to me as it ensures any issues are promptly addressed, allowing for a smooth operation. The product also allows us to utilize compact hardware effectively, which is crucial for laying out our multi-server platform. This flexibility and efficiency enhance our virtual server setup significantly. Additionally, the initial setup of StorMagic was fairly easy, though having technical support was beneficial in the process. The combination of user-friendly implementation and excellent customer service makes StorMagic a product I would definitely recommend to others, reflected by my high satisfaction score of 10.

"Reliable, efficient and simple to deploy SVSAN solution"
What do you like best about StorMagic?

We have been using StorMagic SvSAN for some time now and we are extremely satisfied. The solution is easy to deploy, lightweight, and perfectly suited to our high-availability needs without requiring an expensive SAN. Performance is excellent and management is intuitive, which significantly reduces complexity and administration time. We encountered an issue during the reactivation of a VSA, and it was resolved by the support team in less than 20 minutes. Their responsiveness and efficiency gave us real peace of mind. We highly recommend StorMagic to any organization looking for a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performing solution for virtualization and business continuity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
