"It just works, and it works well"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I don't have to spend a bunch of time managing and configuring things. I can tweak it if I want, but mostly it just works without me having to worry about it. And the support has been fantastic. If some guys from Scale stopped by and asked me to go to Waffle House with them to throw down with guys from *redacted*, I would have their backs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Error conditions could provide a more detailed description. It's very rare that I get one, but the last time I did it was pretty vague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Responsive Support with Easy Setup, Hardware Concerns Persist"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like the Scale Computing Platform because the support is awesome. They are very responsive, care about everything, and always get to the bottom of the issue. Also, the initial setup was easy enough to get started, which is great for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The Intel hardware that they used in some products gets unresponsive after a short while and we have to replace it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale HC3 is the evolution of hyper-convergence "
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Using scale is like a dream compared to other more complex systems. It is so easy to set a new VM and clone a template. No need for a big training to get up to speed. No need for an office expert to help you manage all your systems. Managing 60 VMs is not problem and multiple people can all have access to their part. This is truly one of those technologies that does save you time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Running Scale HC3 on our existing hardware is not available yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Implementation and Seamless Operation"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Everything just worked. We set up virtual machines and they just worked. The back end configuration was all set. We have been running for around 8 months without a single issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The only issue I have with the product is the way VLAN traffic is handled. Everything is on the default VLAN and so when you need to use additional VLANs you have to tag the VLAN in the VM. Also, the VM migration is painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Support Makes All the Difference"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Support has been great. We had to choose another product to replace one we had this fit our need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I could not find much about scale. One of our vendors brought this to us and we actually had to contact Scale in order to get the info we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It just works ..."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

What a breath of fresh air coming from a VMWare environment - now I have instant snapshots, really fast VM replication and no datastores to manage because Scale manages them for me. One big memory and data storage pool to provision from, all thin provisioned - and the SSD tiering all completely automatic. You just set it and forget it. The Management GUI is so simple my Mum could use it. The Support is exceptionally good. The API integration is fantastic. The implementation and VM migration was amazing and simple - we used Acronis to do the migrations, how good is that. UEFI/TPM and Windows 11 - all covered. We use Scale every day and we are very pleased we made the switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I have not found any downside as yet - after 4 years it just works, not one glitch or failure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale Computing is a great alternative to VMware"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale Computing servers are reliable, fast, and easy to manage.

They also have a good support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Even though servers are easy to manage, I think that the management interface could be more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Cadillac's for IT"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Ease of use. Easier to build new VM's, and restore from snpashots when required. I had to restore one of our VM Servers, and within 3 clicks we had restored the server and had it up and running within a minute. It was such a relief and definitely helps to reduce stress. The system was easy to implement and to migrate existing VM's was easy as well. Integrating into our environment was simple and easy and prepping the network was a breeze. The use frequently, as the best part of this system is mostly set it and forget it unless you have to create a new VM. When I reach out to customer support, they are super firendly and really know their stuff. I have yet to have a bad experience with their agents. 2005 - We are in the process of upgrading and expanding out SCALE// Environment. We will be moving out exiting cluster to make it a 4 DR node Cluster instead of 1 and Installing a 4 Node cluster to run our ever growing environment!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

To be completely honest and transparent, the only issue I have is that you cant set a VM to run automatically upon powering up, especially after a power outage. It would be nice if this could be stup like with Microsoft Hyper-V. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
