"Easy-to-Use UI, Great Integrations, and Strong Cluster Performance"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

The most helpful thing about the scale hyper-converge is that, more and more infrastructures at edu levels requires various instant components and changing of staff doesn't help the knowledge level, hence the scale virtualization fits in the rhelm. The ui interface is easy to use, the integrations of various os is great. The performance of a cluster structure is awesome without having to dig through so many menu items. As a edu district pricing has to meet the funding requirements for the fiscal year. Support is able to get me answer that I thought was great. Although a few more AI integration in means of what may be happening with a cluster would help get our organization more stable for the cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The requirement that many edu districts see is running as long as possible, hence the 5 year and must change out is a great plan but maybe not for all districts alike due to funding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rock-Solid Reliability and Proactive Support"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

SC// HyperCore is one of the few products that, as the Director of Information Technology, I don’t have to worry about. The system just runs and keeps running. If and when there’s a failure, support informs me before I even realize there’s a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The only real negative with this product might be the cost, but it’s worth it overall. The price can be a bit shocking at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Pricing and Top-Notch Support, Great for Small Organizations & K12 Schools"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

What I like most about Scale is the pricing and the support. Their support is top-notch and consistently helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Some people might view its simplicity as a negative, but when you’re a small organization—or, in our case, a K–12 public school district—we really appreciate it. That simplicity makes it easier for us to use and manage. We are a bit concerned about what the future may hold now that Scale has been acquired by another company, but we’re still hopeful about what comes next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cost-Effective and Effortless Migration"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

I like SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite because it's easy to implement and easy to use. The cost is great and it's not overpriced. I find the ability to use Veeam with it to be a huge advantage. As a school district, cost is very important to us, and that played a big role in moving away from VMware. We're already a Veeam customer, which made the migration from VMware to SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite extremely effortless. The initial setup for SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite was very easy, and it's currently doing everything we need it to do, which is wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Setup, Outstanding Support, and Flexible Snapshots"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

I really like the ease of use. After just a few basic training sessions you are up to speed on most of what you'll ever need. Single pane of glass and simple to get around to everything from configuration to support. And the support is excellent. Several options from e-mail, chat, and when it's an emergency you can call and get an easy to understand support agent right away. I also like the flexibility in creating snapshots. You can create as many snapshots and be very granular which is helpful because you can always snapshot all severs on the same frequencies. Having all of your snapshots on a remote DR (separate purchased device) is well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bringing over some of my VM's from my previous platform were a little cumbersome. Some came over just fine using the Scale tool, but some of them didn't work so well and I ended up using another tool to move some of my VMs. I still have one really old linux based system that I couldn't get migrated to Scale. But this really isn't a Scale issue, but it's something to keep in mind when transitioning to Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

The platform is dead simple to get going, and hard to break -- i.e. You can spin up a VM pretty quick and it's almost certainly going to start working with minimal configuration unlike competitors, where you have to ensure 8000 different settings are tweaked just right. Scale Hypercore is the virtualization equivalent of Nrivana -- plug it in and play, click the distortion pedal once, and get something you like. Competitors are a bit of a Wilco situation where, sure, it sounds nice, but I just watched the guitarist on his knees tweaking 4000 knobs to get that sound. That does not smell like teen spirit to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have, the facts of life. Well, sometimes the good is also the bad. Want more options to tune a VM? NO. So, you know, anyone looking to produce a Wilco-esque VM is going to have to settle for something a bit more grungy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
