"Transition to Scale Computing platform"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

It was easy and straight forward to build VM's and perform migrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Virtualization without the headache"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Simple to use, has amazing support, and one vendor to deal with, unlike other solutions where when there is an issue they all point at each other. Easy to install and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The lack of Veeam support/integration is an issue. They do partner with Acronis but not a fan of that product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale Computing User"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like how easy it is to set up and configure VMs. Over the years that I've been a Scale Computing User I've seen many features added that make it very easy to configure and maintain VMs. In all the years of use we've had only one power supply go out and customer support was great about getting a replacement to us immediatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

We have not experienced any downsides. Any shortcommings in the Hyper Converged platform we originally noticed have been overcome in updates. I really can't think of any downsides at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and Effective hypervised system for SMB"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I really enjoy how easy and quick it is to setup and start using. Scale is a really simple system to use which in a small IT team is huge because it makes it one less thing to worry about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

There are definetly more enterprise features that are not baked in for simplicty sake and I understand that I just would love to have the option. Over provisioning ram. replicating data to multiples clusters. Changing replication sources wihtout support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale Computing makes virtualization easy for IT"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale Computing makes managing and operating a virtualized environment more simple than other solutions, yet it has the powerful features that are needed. Snapshots, Replication, and modifying VMs are intuitive and work well. Whenever we do have a question or possible issue, support is very responsive and knowledgable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

No complaints about the Scale Computing platform. Really just looking forward to a few more enhancements to make it even better, like more real time replication of VMs instead of just snapshot replication and being able to download as well as upload to the Media on the cluster.

"A wonderful overall experience with a few small caveats"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I love that the system is so easy to manage. I like that snapshotting and retention set up is a breeze and it's easy to repliacte snapshots to our DR node at another site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

A lot of vendors for systems we use our virtual environment for don't "support" Scale in the way they list VMWare as a supported hypervisor. It's a pain to get some Cisco platforms to run on Scale and some are just flat out not supported at all.

The pricing structure also flipped on us and is now back to being just as expensive as other solutions like VMWare with licensing costs skyrocketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale - So simple and reliable"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Ease of creating a VM. Reliable snapshots and replication to DR node. Quickly and easily restore a snapshort or mount it's drive on another VM. Uptime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Overall, there's not much to dislike. We're on our 2nd cluster and DR node. If I had to nitpick, probably exporting and importing a large VM from another cluster. It's faster and easier to setup replication to get it there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
