"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.

"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.

"Exceptionally User-Friendly Platform with Outstanding Support"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale Computing is among the most user-friendly platforms I have ever worked with. The speed and simplicity of creating new servers, as well as the overall setup and integration, are truly exceptional. Scale Support responds quickly and demonstrates impressive expertise. I use the Scale Fleet Manager daily, and it offers a single pane of glass to monitor all my hosts and servers. This platform has made VMWare obsolete for me. The servers, support, and the company itself are outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Right now, I don't have any dislikes to mention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Infrastructure for Small and Medium Businesses"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale is very easy to use for someone who does not have a ton of background or experience in IT. Being thrown into the fire with my job with minimal experience, I was blessed that Scale was our infrastructure. Scale is perfect for small and medium companies who do not have large IT teams and need to spin up a local domain and servers for onsite hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale may lack the capabilities of its competitors in the way of configurability and capabilities for larger companies or those who's product is software/hosting etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Migration, Unmatched Reliability"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I use Scale Computing Platform for running our critical virtual servers. I like the low cost and high reliability it offers. The Carbonite Move tool has worked beautifully for us, especially with its ability to migrate live servers with almost no downtime, which is incredible. The initial setup of Scale was a breeze, and the support was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I wished there was seamless backup integration with Commvault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like the Scale Computing Platform for its simplicity, scalability, and reliability. It has upgraded our aging IT infrastructure to a modern, resilient, and scalable platform, which improves overall performance and simplifies management. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

It would be good if there was more monitoring of resources on the dashboard of consoles so you can really keep an eye on key performance factors for your servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
