"Great way to Centralize your Servers!"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like the dashboard that shows me all of the servers and their status and resources being used. It is easy to connect and log into each of my VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The sizing of the screens once I log into a VM is a challenge sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great support, simply acquisition process, stellar performance"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Being able to stand up a POC quickly and with the kind of workloads we wanted to model is important to us. Having access to US-based support and having a single point of contact for all things speeds up resolution and reduces frustration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Sometimes it took longer to book our engineering appointments and that speaks to their growth. They need to hire more post-sales engineers and trainers to meet demand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale in Healthcare"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Simplicity. It works with no worries about how an upgrade will bork the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The recommended backup platform does not reliably work. However, with Veeam supporting client installs, this is not a significant concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and redundant solution"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

A single manageable, highly available, and redundant solution. Easy to manage and great technical support. Redundancy! Quick and highly skilled technical support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The cluster should be able to record logs for a longer period of time. The solution is pretty sufficient. Yes! there is always space to improvements like more log saving on the cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Spinning up a new virtual machine is extremely easy. I love that the driver cd is automatically mounted when the server is created.

Peace of mind with so much fault tolerance built in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I hate to say it, because ai love the platform so much. But you can have virtual machines start automatically in the event of a extended power outage.

It would be nice to set specific VM' to start as soon as the cluster boots up as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So far everything has gone without any major issues"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The smaller form factor that reduces the amount of rack space required versus Servers and Sans and backup storage. And the single pane of glass console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Only major issues so far has been the Ubiquiti switch delays requiring us to pay extra for the backbone switches required for the main clusters, and most recently a glitch with trying to install the Acronis agent onto our cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"True set it and forget it option!"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Support has been great in my experience so far. The snapshot and backup options are excellent as well as the recovery options. The UI is efficient and easy to navigate. I have literally not had a single issue since the install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I don't have any specific dislikes right now. It's easy to foget some things when you don't have to be in the management every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Support and Outreach"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I am relatively new in my position and when I notified Scale of that, they got back to me promptly and scheduled one-on-one time to go over their entire system with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

There is a lot to Scale, and since I am new I need to be more comfortable contacting them for support. It's more me needing to take the time to reach them other than a limitation of theirs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple yet, so sweet!"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The simplicity of the interface and how easy it is to move VMs from one physical node to another node. This by itself is the key for me, having previously been a Hyper-V person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Honestly what I dislike the most is that backup solutions such as Veeam or Datto don't really integrate with Scale. They work just fine with the Guest VMs. If there was some better integration for BDR solutions it would be cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No direct way to migrate VM disks in or out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
