"Will be moving to a different company going forward."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

If you like to be mostly hands-off, a Scale setup might be for you but I recommend having deep pockets to constantly keep your hardware supported. Scale has 24/7 support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale Technicians cant give you estimates on work being performed. If you have even one node out of service, Scale will mark your whole scale cluster out of support. Because Scale doesn't support their hardware for extended periods of time, it will force you to constantly buy new Scale boxes if you want to keep your hardware supported. Scale also lacks functionality to manage nodes and clusters, you have no real control over the nodes and clusters and are at the mercy of Scale you perform any changes to your nodes.

Response from Ellie Sherven of Scale Computing Platform

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about SC//Platform! I appreciate your candor and apologize that our Hardware Support policy has negatively impacted your experience with the product. We will typically support a useful life of 7 years from the time of the purchase (which includes 5 years of full hardware warranty). In some cases, we have been able to find ways to extend that beyond the standard 7 years, so we would love to explore that with you if you're amenable. Please reach out to the product team directly at pm@scalecomputing.com if you would like to schedule a call and thanks again for the review.

Best regards,

Ellie

"Migration from VMware to Scale"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The Scale console is very simple to use. At one of our locations we have two vmware esxi servers and managing them required by attention always as other staff could not remember all the steps involved.

We moved to Scale when server refresh was upon us because with its simplicity we could train other tech staff on how to manage it.

Having the server, storage and hypervisor all from one vendor is a huge plus too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

We have not found anything we dislike about Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transform your virtualization experience to be more like a Mac"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The platform is simple. Comparing it with competing products, I think of it like MacOS vs. Linux. Under the hood, they're both Unix-like, but MacOS is WAY simpler to use while not sacrificing its robustness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Problems with backup. The suggested choice of Acronis has caused significant trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
