Avis et détails du produit Scale Computing Platform

I really like the ease of use. After just a few basic training sessions you are up to speed on most of what you'll ever need. Single pane of glass and simple to get around to everything from configuration to support. And the support is excellent. Several options from e-mail, chat, and when it's an emergency you can call and get an easy to understand support agent right away. I also like the flexibility in creating snapshots. You can create as many snapshots and be very granular which is helpful because you can always snapshot all severs on the same frequencies. Having all of your snapshots on a remote DR (separate purchased device) is well worth it. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

Bringing over some of my VM's from my previous platform were a little cumbersome. Some came over just fine using the Scale tool, but some of them didn't work so well and I ended up using another tool to move some of my VMs. I still have one really old linux based system that I couldn't get migrated to Scale. But this really isn't a Scale issue, but it's something to keep in mind when transitioning to Scale. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

The platform is dead simple to get going, and hard to break -- i.e. You can spin up a VM pretty quick and it's almost certainly going to start working with minimal configuration unlike competitors, where you have to ensure 8000 different settings are tweaked just right. Scale Hypercore is the virtualization equivalent of Nrivana -- plug it in and play, click the distortion pedal once, and get something you like. Competitors are a bit of a Wilco situation where, sure, it sounds nice, but I just watched the guitarist on his knees tweaking 4000 knobs to get that sound. That does not smell like teen spirit to me. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have, the facts of life. Well, sometimes the good is also the bad. Want more options to tune a VM? NO. So, you know, anyone looking to produce a Wilco-esque VM is going to have to settle for something a bit more grungy. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

Je trouve la plateforme Scale Computing extrêmement précieuse pour sa facilité d'utilisation, notamment dans la création et la gestion de serveurs virtuels. Son interface conviviale me permet de créer facilement des serveurs Windows et Linux, ce qui simplifie considérablement les tâches de virtualisation. Les fonctionnalités de sécurité, ainsi que les solutions de restauration de données Business Upload Data Restoration (BUDR), offrent une tranquillité d'esprit et garantissent une gestion robuste des serveurs. J'apprécie particulièrement la fonction de snapshot qui permet des sauvegardes locales des serveurs, rendant la restauration simple en cas de problème. La transition de VMWare à Scale s'est déroulée sans heurts, et je suis satisfait du support amélioré fourni par Scale, qui est bien supérieur à ce que j'ai connu auparavant. De plus, la compatibilité de Scale avec Acronis pour les sauvegardes locales et en ligne, ainsi que le support supplémentaire pour Veeam, offre flexibilité et fiabilité dans la gestion de nos solutions de sauvegarde. L'équipe de support client réactive améliore encore mon expérience en résolvant rapidement les problèmes matériels, comme lorsque une barrette de RAM a échoué. Je recommanderais en toute confiance la plateforme Scale Computing en raison de ces aspects, car elle s'est avérée être une solution fiable et efficace pour nos besoins en environnement virtuel.

Le seul défi que j'ai rencontré avec la plateforme Scale Computing a été lors de l'installation initiale, qui nécessitait une certaine formation. Bien que le processus de transfert de serveur de VMware à Scale ait été simple, j'ai rencontré un problème avec les licences Microsoft qui devaient être achetées. Ce problème de licence m'a empêché de donner une note parfaite de 10, car le transfert aurait pu être plus fluide sans cette complication. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

The level of support has been outstanding. Always responsive and knowledgeable. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

The interface could be a bit more customizable. The use of Tags is a good way to sort VMs but having different view options, like a tree view, would be welcome. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

The best thing about scale is the simplicity of their platform and their support. Navigating through the dashboard, deploying VMs, taking snapshots, reverting back to snapshots, managing resources on the VMs like CPU, storage, and RAM, and everything else is very user friendly and easy to learn. Their support is also some of the best I have dealt with from a technology vendor. They are quick to answer and they almost always can fix my issue during that phone call.

There aren't really many downsides to Scale. The platform itself is great. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

I like the form factor (6U) for close to 1Pb of storage, 3 hosts. The management interface is super simple. As someone who came from ESX and Hyper-V I found scale to much less complicated and streamlined for this company's smaller virtual environment. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

Simple is great, but if you really want to dig deep into an issue or configuration, you might need to engage SCALE support. However, I've found them to be super fast to respond, super knowledgeable, and super helpful in quickly resolving any complicated setup or issue for a virtual machine.

It is very quick and easy to get going with Scale. Out of the box experience is very smooth and the assistance provided by support was on target and simple to follow. You don't need experience with other solutions to get this running reliably. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

Due to its ease of us, some features that power users would like are missing. There is no virtual networking, there is no storage management, there is no native support for OVAs. While it can convert the containers, it requires an SMB share which may not be available in some environments. Additionally, there is no timeout for the hypervisor admin login (well, there is but I was told its 12 months), which may be a major security concern for some.

I appreciate how Scale Computing Platform offers ease of use for migrating our existing VM workload and building out new VM infrastructure, which is crucial for modernizing our IT operations. The streamlined interface and functionality are great for the day-to-day management of virtualized infrastructure, saving time and resources and enabling our IT team to focus on other priorities. The initial setup was quite easy and the documentation is clear, plus their deployment support is great to work with. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

Scale Computing Platform is definitely lacking in a few areas such as adding or modifying VM resources in real time without the need to power down the VM. Integration with major backup vendors is another concern, although this is less of an issue now with official support for Veeam. We’ve faced limitations when adding or removing NICs without rebooting the server, or changing the VLAN assignments to the vNICs. There are also bugs, like adding a second vNIC causing a blue screen on the server, which haven't been resolved. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

I like the scalability of the Scale Computing Platform. I'm able to quickly and easily spin up new instances while also making virtualization changes without affecting our production environment. I can add resources on the fly to production servers and create new server stacks as needed with very little effort. The platform is also affordable, offering similar performance at a lower cost than the previous solution we used. The initial setup was very easy, thanks to their quick setup guide, which takes very little expertise to work through, and with snapshot recovery, setup was finished quickly.

I'm not a huge fan of the interface. It feels outdated. Error message pop up in the field of view, not able to suppress or move them to a different view. Also, we are not able to add or customize the widgets showing stats on the portal. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

Scale is an easy to use product. Spinning up new VMs is quick and simple. The migration from VMware was an extremely smooth process. Clones and snapshots make testing updates and new software easier while not worrying about crashing a production server. Customer support has been great when we run across things we need some answers to. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.
