StorMagic SvSAN is very cost-efficient. The pricing model, based on the usable storage capacity, is simple and predictable. You know exactly how much each storage tier costs, and upgrading is straightforward.

It is a fair trade. It is a little bit expensive at first blush just in terms of the initial licensing cost. I have been in the tech industry for a long time. I have worked for startups, and I understand that the licensing cost is how you pay the bills. They have to have money to develop their product. While it is less than other solutions, such as vSAN, for instance, it is still significant. However, it is well worth it in terms of the quality of the product and the support that it allows me to have. We are buying the flagship product from them. We are always buying premium support and all the features that we need, so it is a little bit steep upfront, but it is less than other solutions and comes with excellent support. SvSAN's licensing model is based on usable storage capacity. It is a lot more intuitive. If I need 12 terabytes of storage, it is counterintuitive to me to have to think about how many CPUs the server that I want the storage for has. It does not make sense to me to consider processing power and the number of CPUs I have for processing in the licensing cost of a storage product. It seems a lot more intuitive to think about how much storage I need.
The price of the solution is reasonable. Our budget was two terabytes and the price met our use case well. The servers and operating hardware are an extra cost. I rate the price of StorMagic SvSAN a ten out of ten.
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. Its pricing starts at $4,000 and goes up to $15,000. I would rate its pricing at five out of five.
The licensing cost is $7,000 per two nodes for two terabytes. There are additional costs. Auto-tiering is a separate cost. Encryption is a separate cost. That could range from $1,500 for two nodes, to $5,000.
The pricing of StorMagic SvSAN is fairly good because if you compare it with VMware, it's at a better price. This is an important thing to remember. We use the solution in a close network. We would like the possibility to activate the solution offline. At this time there is no offline activation, this would be appreciated. The price of the solution is good is very good. Two terabytes are approximately 1,000 euros per node.
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.

The product has good pricing.
StorMagic is competitively priced. It's cheaper than the VMware solution.

A different team is responsible for StorMagic SvSAN licensing, so I'm unsure of the licensing model for it.
