"Great product, excellent support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about StorMagic?

StorMagic SvSAN has been great for our edge use-cases where multiple VMs are required, but minimal space and server footprint are very important. The product works extremely well in creating "shared" storage between local hosts, regardless of hypervisor choice.

Their support is amazing and doesn't change from implementation through being a loyal customer for years. They're always quick to respond and have never failed to provide concise, actionable answers.

I highly recommend StorMagic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface is sometimes not as intuitive as I'd like, but it's very flexible and useful, once you get accustomed to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
