It could be a little bit more intuitive in terms of the way you set it up initially. The interface has recently undergone a revision. I have been using the new version for only a few weeks now. The older version of the web interface for StorMagic SvSAN was a little bit clunky and not as intuitive as it could be. The newer one is a little better, but it is still a little bit clunky in places. I have not tried the centralized control called Edge Control. It probably addresses some of the issues that I have in terms of centralization and not having to log in to individual members in order to administer them. I have not used that yet, so I do not know how well that addresses the issues that I have. Currently, I have to log in to the individual StorMagic SvSAN members in order to administer them to update the software and see their status.
I'd like to see multiple nodes. I'd like to see snapshots added to it. 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.

They should enable data compression deduplication features for the platform.
If we want to want to replicate the VM to the cloud, or off-site, it does not allow it because of asynchronous. There is no option available.
In the next release, StorMagic SvSAN should include multi-node clusters, which would allow storage spaces to be used more efficiently.
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.
