"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 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.

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.
