"Highly recommend taking Scale for a spin"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The Scale Computing system is remarkably user-friendly and eliminates much of the uncertainty around hardware compatibility. The platform as a whole is more affordable than many other virtualization architecture licenses by themselves. Additionally, their support team has been very helpful, assisting us throughout the entire process of migrating our infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

So far I haven't found anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable technology and efficient support"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Yo got all the benefits of Hyperconvergence without spend a lot of money, easy to deploy and do not need so much work on maintenance, the support platform is easy to use, phone contact is smooth, replication is very efficient, you can get production and development enviroments together in one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Some vendors do not have specific deploys for VM compatible with Scale systems, but you can ever convert VM's to Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Server Clustering with Outstanding Support"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I really appreciate the easy-to-use GUI and the excellent customer service of the Scale Computing Platform. Its ease of use and reliability stand out to me, and its specific product capabilities outperform VMware/Vsphere or Nutanix by far. I find the initial setup very easy and user-friendly. Additionally, I like that it provides access to all our enterprise servers on one platform, making them easily accessible and always available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

It would be nice to allow memory upgrades instead of the need to purchase more nodes. Also, the snapshot technology is great but takes up significantly more space than some other solutions we have looked into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support and Seamless VMware Migration Experience"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Having lived with Scale Computing HyperCore (HC3) for a full semester now after our VMware migration this past summer, I’ve had enough "hands-on" time to move past the honeymoon phase and see where the platform actually sits. I appreciate the responsiveness of the onboarding and support teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I have not found any known issues yet. However, I would like SC to bring in their own proprietary V2V/P2V solution and move away from Carbonite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Platform with Accessible Setup"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I find the Scale Computing Platform very user-friendly and easy to navigate. We haven't encountered any issues with it so far, which is not always the case with platforms. I can find what I need easily and even if I think something is missing, I usually find it was there all along after a bit of searching. The initial setup was incredibly easy because we received support throughout the entire process, allowing us to focus on learning how to use the platform. I particularly enjoy the user platform, as it is smooth and free of glitches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

User support could be more accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless VM Migration and Lifesaving Snapshots"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Having transitioned from a Hyper-V environment, I really appreciate how straightforward it is to migrate my virtual machines into Scale. The snapshot feature has truly been a lifesaver for recovering critical systems that have experienced failures or data loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

If I had to pick something, the interface in my experience is clunky, I've never enjoyed web based UIs for hypervisors since using VMware.

I would like a more modern desktop app environment or even a PWA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly with Fast Performance, Needs Better Reporting"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I appreciate that Scale Computing Platform provides HCI Systems that make virtualization easy. The software, Hypercore, is very user-friendly, especially when it comes to creating a VM, taking snapshots, and replicating them for disaster recovery. VM management is a breeze with it. Also, the VMs migrated to Hypercore are super fast compared to when they were on Hyper-V. The initial setup was very easy and fast. I'm rating it a 10 because I'm already doing Scale Computing marketing here in my country! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I find reporting problematic, as generating reports is still an issue, and even when it works, it's difficult to get them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and performant hypervisor solution, great alternative to other giants in the market"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

This has been a rock solid platform, that was incredibly easy to set up and start using. This ease of use partly comes from the software's focus and lack of bloat that 99% of users don't need. This also means that some fringe use cases may not find Scale appropriate for all their needs. In my experience though, the vast majority of customers evaluating alternatives to VMware and Nutanix would likely find Scale the more compelling choice. And, if you ever need it, Scale's support team has been wonderful to work with and very quick to answer questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale, being a smaller company developing this software platform means that the giants in the industry may have advantages when it comes to feature rollout and additional product compatibility, in our case Rubrik backup appliance support. We needed to find another solution for our backups (we went with Acronis Cyber Protect). If you just need a straightforward hypervisor solution that doesn't break the bank, this has been a great choice though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stable, Easy Setup, and Excellent Support"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I really like how stable the Scale Computing Platform is and the ease of adding additional nodes into the cluster. The superior support and excellent uptime are big pluses for me. The hardware is robust and easily manageable, which makes my work much smoother. It's also very easy to set up; we had the clusters up and running in under 25 minutes. The cost difference from VMware and the support were significant factors in our decision to switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Would love to see more options on the GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Scalability, High Availability"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like how Scale Computing Platform makes it easy to scale up and set up VMs in a high-availability environment, which helps minimize downtime. It's a huge win for business continuity. The biggest benefit is the peace of mind knowing my systems are resilient. The initial setup was easy, which I appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Some advanced configuration options could be more customizable for power users. Specifically Having SNMP control without needing to open a support ticket would also be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
