Yo got all the benefits of Hyperconvergence without spend a lot of money, easy to deploy and do not need so much work on maintenance, the support platform is easy to use, phone contact is smooth, replication is very efficient, you can get production and development enviroments together in one platform.

Some vendors do not have specific deploys for VM compatible with Scale systems, but you can ever convert VM's to Scale. The UI is not too fancy but it does what you really need. The platform could improve a bit more on integrations to monitor internal resources with external software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy Network setup, especially compared to other hypervisors. I am impressed by the integrated storage management engine, which makes administration a breeze. So far we had no issues with performance on our ssd/hdd cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the management interface could use a modern update. I believe this is on the roadmap though.

Integration with 3rd parties is still lacking, for example while Veeam supports Scale, a lot of features are no available (eg SureBackup). I'm hopeful if Scale reaches a higher market share this will make 3rd parties accelerate their development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We haven't had any real technical issues or shortages with the solution. We have run into supply chain, pricing issues but those are more relevant to the AI data center memory shortages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been a SCALE customer for over 10 years. As our school district has grown, so has SCALE (product features) as well as the implementation of our SCALE Clusters (to match our size needs and increases). In many situations and use cases in technologies, these types of increases have a cascading impact: More users requires more storage and processing capabilities; more capabilities requires more servers; more services requires more space; increased space requires more cooling... and so on. HOWEVER, with SCALE, this is absolutely NOT the case. Despite our recent 40% growth, our overall footprint, along with supporting resources has not grown in size and space. The SCALE technology is so efficient that we rotate to new equipment, which often consumes less space and resources. Think about this when compared to other virtualization resources: More of everything! If SCALE wasn't already the top provider, they are now making it possible for us to utilize some of our existing resources for scenarios where space is limited. Every year we attend SCALE Platform and come away energized knowing we have the best technology available to manage our district systems. SCALE is exceptionally reliable and we're fortunate to have the company as a partner to the district. The UI provides an ease of use unmatched by other competing products. Support is amazing at every level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would like to take advantage of more of what they have; even deploy it across greater areas, deploy into our larger schools, and even build-out more for DR. Unfortunately, we can't afford it. I would like to have all school districts in our regions using it in some capacity, but they have to drop to their 3rd and sometimes 4th choice due to limited funding in education. I would like to see more options available for rural schools who need (but cannot afford) to invest in SCALE. I work closely with many other districts who are envious of us... they want it as well but they can't afford it. That being said, some of the new technology being released by SCALE will render other less-costly options. Competing solutions are even more costy; we're just very pleased we are hooked into SCALE!

Scale cluster handles so much on the backend. There isn't much to do to setup VMs. Just click the + button, configure the basic virtual hardware settings and there's your VM. Super quick to spin up. Snapshots and replication are super easy to configure. The built in redundancy of a scale cluster gives massive peace of mind. We actually just had a drive fail a couple weeks ago. I trusted the platform and didn't worry at all. Scale support remoted in, checked it and had a drive shipped overnight to us. Everything just continued to work.

Everybody can sell products and services. Support is the big make or break factor. Scale Tech Support is top tier. Always knowledgeable. You can email and get a response very fast. You can call and get with a support engineer on the phone in minutes. They will help with anything. Issues with the product (which is rare) or even just knowledge when trying to do something.

There doesn't seem to be a function to plug in an external drive and transfer data to a VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scale Computing has been an excellent virtualization platform for our organization. It's reliable, easy to manage, and significantly simpler than traditional VMware environments. Support has been responsive when needed, and the platform has allowed us to focus more on our infrastructure than on managing the hypervisor itself. Overall, it's been a stable, cost-effective solution that I would recommend to organizations looking for a straightforward HCI platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That there needs to be direct backup integrations built directly in to the web UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Error conditions could use more detailed descriptions. I rarely run into them, but the last time I did, the message was pretty vague and didn’t give much context about what went wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of the interface and how easy it is to move VMs from one physical node to another node. This by itself is the key for me, having previously been a Hyper-V person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite has proven to be a reliable and capable virtualization platform. The interface is straightforward, deployment is relatively simple, and the support team has consistently been knowledgeable and helpful when assistance is needed.

My primary concern is the limited availability of diagnostic and troubleshooting tools accessible to administrators. In many cases, meaningful troubleshooting requires engaging Scale Computing Support rather than providing administrators with the ability to independently gather detailed diagnostic information. This can become especially challenging during outages or critical incidents where phone access, internet connectivity, or immediate support availability may be limited.

I would like to see additional built-in diagnostics, health monitoring, logging visibility, and self-service troubleshooting capabilities made available within the platform. Empowering administrators with more advanced tools would reduce downtime, improve issue resolution times, and provide greater confidence when managing production environments, particularly in K–12 and other resource-constrained organizations where IT staff may need to respond quickly without direct access to vendor support.

SC// HyperCore combines virtualization, storage, and high availability into a single platform. There's far less complexity than managing separate hypervisors, SANs, and clustering technologies. It can be deployed quickly and managed through a straightforward web interface.

For smaller IT teams—or even a single administrator—it's attractive because it reduces the time spent maintaining infrastructure. Rolling updates, node replacements, and cluster management are designed to be non-disruptive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SC// HyperCore's biggest strength is simplicity, but that can also be a limitation. Some administrators find that it lacks the depth of advanced features, integrations, and fine-grained controls available in larger virtualization ecosystems like VMware or Nutanix.

Because many deployments are sold as integrated HCI appliances, hardware refresh cycles can become a consideration. Some users have expressed frustration around hardware end-of-life timelines and upgrade paths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is truly simple to use, even for someone with a non-technical background. Setup/deployment is quick, documentation is excellent, and support has been top notch. We saved a significant amount of money switching from VMware to Scale, and although we originally had to use a workaround for our Veeam integration, that was resolved quickly as Scale completed a native integration.

None that I am aware of. We have been extremely happy with the product and support from purchase to deployment to regular use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
