"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.

"An easy to use virtual machine environment"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

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.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

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.

"The SCALE platform is a no brainer."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The SCALE Platform is easy to use and implement. It has a growing feature set, regular development cycles, stellar support and API integration. I manage our in house clusters and customer clusters with little effort every day. Infrastructure costs and complexity are greatly reduced with this solution without compromising uptime and failover capability whether using it for an edge deployment or a large server farm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

As a platform that's hard to say. The platform continues to evolve. I'd have to say that any deficiencies would be in very specific use cases that I have yet to run into. Dynamic scaling of hosted system resources may be the weakest point here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
