"Scale HC3 : Year 3 and still loving the product!"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The dasboard is incredibly easy to navigate. The snapshot & replication functionality is easy to setup. Leveraging the snapshots to restore files & drives. Easily able to spin up servers. Easily review total usage of memory & disk space. The latest updates also make navigating the dashboard even easier than before. The product is just getting better and better as time goes on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Having to always 'spin up' a new server if I have to revert back to a snapshot. It would be great if we could just 'go back' to a previous snapshot instead of cloning. I always loose the snapshots of the previous server, and the replication data has to be managed separately now. The export function is something that I plan on using, but has to be done by the support team. It would be great if I could just take care of it. Scheduled exports of entire VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best decision ever!"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

There are many things that I like best about the Scale Computing Platform, but high availability is probably #1. Ease of use and great customer support are right up there so 1.1 and 1.2, I guess. They are also totally in tune with customer requests. I have asked for the ability to do things myself or have things done differently, and they actually listen and implement my suggestions on future releases. It is very comforting to be heard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I think the life cycle is too short. It is always a sad day when the hardware that is still functioning has to be retired due to not having even software support, which is essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My review of scale."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale is awesome. Their solution is rock solid and their support is best in class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Monthly invoices from our distributors are a challenge. I don't know the answer there; it may be an internal process that we need to fix, but that's the only issue we have from scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Virtual Made Easy...."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The overall ease of the entire system. The implementation was seemless, the maintenance is idiot proof, and the use makes virtuallizing your server environment dead simple. If you are looking for a great system, with great support, this is it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I honestly don't have anything negative to say. Our use case, and experience have been nearly perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Top HCI product in Market!"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Implemented Scale Computing HCI 10 years ago and have had zero issues since implentation. Hands down the best HCI solution in market for SMB's. Overall management of cluster and VM's is easily done with a single pain of glass, snapshot and DR easily configured and rolling upgrades which equals zero downtime in our production environment. Easy access to support and their ability to troubleshoot issues via a support tunnel on the cluster makes quick resolution to any minor issues encountered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've yet to discover a downside of using Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
