"Painless VMware Migration with Fast, Involved Support and an Excellent Interface"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

We swapped over from VMware to SC// solutions and the process from purchase to implementation was painless. The support is our favorite, as they were involved, aware, and extremely fast to reply with our concerns. The interface is excellent, and our skills transferred from VMware well. WE did not have many integrations, however knowing they exist is helpful for us too. So far performance is great (we had the Lenovo machines as a back end running this) and price was moderate to great for affordability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

We have not run into a lot to be disappointed about - the biggest hurdle we hit was the migration, picking the right BIOS/UEFI and spinning up a template, but once you do it once and figure it out, it is simple again. Support helped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HyperCore Delivers Clear Value, Stable Performance, and Exceptional Support"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

HyperCore earns high marks across four critical areas. Pricing is straightforward and delivers clear value against competing platforms. Performance remains stable and predictable under sustained workloads. The UI is well-designed, prioritizing operational clarity over complexity. Support is exceptional, combining rapid response times with a technically proficient team that resolves issues decisively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Networking functionality is an area with room for growth, particularly for teams migrating from VMware. Product improvements since implementation have been encouraging. The primary remaining gap is load distribution; a more dynamic, continuous balancing mechanism would be a meaningful improvement over the current event-driven approach.

"Scale Computing - among the very best choices I have made as a network manager."
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

When creating VMs, setting up the # of CPUs, allocated memory and disk space is incredibly simple. I've set up VMs running Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, Windows 10, Centos 7, and Redhat 8. In my opinion, one of the best features of Scale Computing is how easy I can manage my VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Scale doesn't (at the time of this writing) support Microsoft's VM-Generation ID feature. This feature is intended to allow for the safe rollback of a Domain Controller from a snapshot when there is more than one Domain Controller in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Cadillac for IT"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Ease of use. Easier to build new VM's, and restore from snpashots when required. I had to restore one of our VM Servers, and within 3 clicks we had restored the server and had it up and running within a minute. It was such a relief and definitely helps to reduce stress. The system was easy to implement and to migrate existing VM's was easy as well. Integrating into our environment was simple and easy and prepping the network was a breeze. The use frequently, as the best part of this system is mostly set it and forget it unless you have to create a new VM. When I reach out to customer support, they are super firendly and really know their stuff. I said in the past I had never had a bad experience, but I did. Im going to leave my review at this point as the G2 review asked me to verify I was human and deleted the rest of my review which was taking me quite a bit to provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

To be completely honest and transparent, the only issue I have is that you cant set a VM to run automatically upon powering up, especially after a power outage. It would be nice if this could be stup like with Microsoft Hyper-V.

Another issue we have come across, we do have some applications we run in house, bought commercially that wont run on the Linux Hypervisor. We have had to purchase a big enough desktop to run Hyper-V on it so we could run 4 programs. These programs are vital to our company and this is what we had to do to overcome this short comings.

"Effortless Virtualization with Minimal Training"
4/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

I appreciate the SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite for its simplicity of management and reliability. It's particularly valuable because we have a small IT team and can't support complex deployment. HyperCore allows us to use complex enterprise features with minimal training. The installation wasn't difficult as it was supported by the Scale support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Sometimes we miss the ability to see granular performance in the console, but it's not a major concern rather a nice to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Virtualization without the headache"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Simple to use, has amazing support, and one vendor to deal with, unlike other solutions where when there is an issue they all point at each other. Easy to install and maintain. Performance has been solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

My current clusters the NIC's are not able to be setup in a Adaptive Load Balancing Active/Active setup. Would prefer that. Would also like to see promiscuous mode available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale is the way to go!"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Simplicity, ease of use of use. With scale snapshots you can make a quick recovery if an update breaks things. I do scale updates during normal business hours, no more late evenings waiting on things to update. The cost was better than the competition. Support is really great, they handle issues quickly, if you even have any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Sometimes an update can stall, but Scale support responds quickly and resolves the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive and Easy to Manage for Confident Server Administration"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

I appreciate how easy Scale is to manage. The platform is intuitive, allowing any member of our technology team to confidently administer and maintain our servers without requiring specialized expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Overall, I am very satisfied with the platform and its capabilities. One feature I would like to see is more granular remote access controls, allowing administrators to grant specific users remote access to only designated servers rather than providing broader access permissions.

"Rock solid performance - great tech support"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

I like the simplicity of the Scale Computing Platform vs VMWare and HyperV. Prior to moving to Scale Computing we had a full 7' rack of equipment and another half rack to run our environment. With that were a multitude of cables that were hard to keep up with, and we didn't even have advanced failover features such as VMotion, etc.

Scale Computing simplified the entire setup dramatically with less cabling and just a few rack units of space in comparison. Plus it comes with the more advanced failover, high availability and disaster recovery features out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

There is not much to dislike about Scale Computing in my opinion. If I had to choose one thing it would be that new downloaded virtual machines are a little more difficult to deploy because they are typically made for VMWare or HyperV and usually not for Scale or KVM. That is a small inconvenience though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
