"Great way to deploy and manage multiple virtual servers"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I really like the simple to use interface to deploy and manage a variety of servers in one area. The easy to run upgrades on nodes and the automatic rollover to the other nodes is fantastic. Quick snapshops and device replication to our disaster recovery site is very easy to use as well.

Getting quick information and support from the support chat is very nice and makes troubleshooting problems a painless experience. Being able to take old virtual machines and implement them into Scale is nice as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hyperconverged Bliss"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Since moving from VMware to Scale computing I feel like I'm in a dream. Scale computing offers a hyper-converged system making life 10 times easier than alternative products. Having storage and compute in the same system makes spinning up a new VM effortless. Utilizing scales DR options is also easy as pie. Simply set up a DR system offsite and start replication across. I recommend Scale to anybody looking to enhance their virtual environment and make managing it even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?
