We recently completed our Scale installation and the experience was outstanding. The setup was quick and simple, and the performance improvements were immediately noticeable. Managing our infrastructure is much simpler now, with an easy to use interface and minimal maintenance. Scale's support and installation team has been very responsive and knowledgeable. Overall the solution has improved our IT operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"To Scale Computing from VMWare"

How easy it was to migrate away from VMware to Scale and the how user friendly the platform is to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, nothing at all. This, in my opinion, is by far the best hypervisor on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Finally servers with scalability without the strings attached."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

It is versatile and grows with our needs. Has an immutable layer for backups. Very straight forward to set up new VM's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Haven't found anything we dislike with the platform. Some updates only apply to certain hardware platforms and the updater will keep saying to "update" even though it doesn't apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What do not realise is that you are gaining a really helpful team."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The technology is really good but what I like best is the customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I think the product or product suite is still in its infancy stage so I think this gripe will get better. I think just increasing the ease of use and improving the UX. I also think although the support is really good. I feel that there needs to be a team that is contacting sompanies using scale and introducing them to other things they can use scale for. A team that will take adeep dive in to how we are using scale and then suggest new ways to use it and new things you can spin up. afterall its free to spin up new things. This can increase customers value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent Hypervisor for the price"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

For certain use case scenarios, scale is a good solution. Its UI is limited and not as granular as other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Not as robust as competitors like VMware, has very few metrics, and troubleshooting can be complex if the issue is outside of what you can do from the GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about the scale computing platform is how easy it is to build new virtual machines as well as moving them across the cluster nodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion one downside is the lack of administrative controls on the more technical level. However with their great support, it isn't a huge negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
