"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.

"Quick Deployment, Great Support"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like that Scale Computing Platform offers an out-of-the-box clustered virtualization environment, which was quick to deploy. It allowed us to refresh our aging server hardware and migrate away from VMware, which was becoming too expensive. The tech support was wonderful and knowledgeable, helping us resolve some issues as we got used to the system. Plus, the platform has been very stable overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The interface is a bit simplistic, and I did have to reach out to support for tasks that I can easily do on other platforms. 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.

"Great platform, great service, migration is lacking"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

It was easy to get installed and configured. The management interface is simple and fairly easy to figure out. Creating new virtual machines takes 3-4 clicks. Support is fast and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The Carbonite-based migration tool and licensing was not good. SC support relied on Carbonite for support and I was finding solutions to issues faster than they were. Our migration licenses expired because we spent so much time troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I find it very easy to use the Scale Computing Platform. Running VMs is a breeze, and I don't have to worry about hardware repairs since they're covered under the contract. I also appreciate how simple it is to set up networking and VMs. The migration process was straightforward; I just downloaded the virtual drives from VMWare and uploaded them to Scale.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I don't like that you need specific switches for a backplane network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
