"Best server platform for the money."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The Scale server platform provides everything you need without the unnecessary extras. Its user interface is clean and highly intuitive, making it simple to navigate. One of the standout features is the ability to take snapshots and create clones in just seconds. This functionality is invaluable when working on tasks that have the potential for issues, as you can recover quickly if needed.

Even if you’ve never used Scale before, an experienced administrator will have no trouble finding their way around. Additionally, their support team is outstanding—always quick to address any issues and provide solutions effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experiences with Scale"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

It's easy to use, easy to set up, but right now, the thing I like best is that it is easy to transfer existing VMs from an old cluster to a new one. No more robocopy! Customer support is very well trained, speak English as their first language, and are interested in helping me resolve my issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The fact that you no longer sell and configure switches to connect nodes and network Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The team assisting in setup really guided us through every step."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The installation is procedure with the steps is very polished. It accounts for every decision and setup step, to make sure you both setting it up correctly, and walk away knowing how to manage it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The worst part is the scheduling portal, sometimes it is buggy. If you request a phone request, and miss the initial call, it is difficult to get connected by calling back.

Using the web conference and asking them to call is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy customer"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like the Scale platform because it is easier to use than other VMs, and does exactly what we need it to do.

We currently have it for 3 of our locations and currently building our clusters using your new552F line.

Its Fast, effective and affordable.

Anytime I have needed to speak with support they are always, friendly, informative, and it is hard to find good support these days, but not with Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The down side I currently experience is not really with Scale but with Acronis Backups. I believe we have all of those wrinkles ironed out now but not at the fault of Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
