I like the form factor (6U) for close to 1Pb of storage, 3 hosts. The management interface is super simple. As someone who came from ESX and Hyper-V I found scale to much less complicated and streamlined for this company's smaller virtual environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple is great, but if you really want to dig deep into an issue or configuration, you might need to engage SCALE support. However, I've found them to be super fast to respond, super knowledgeable, and super helpful in quickly resolving any complicated setup or issue for a virtual machine.

It is very quick and easy to get going with Scale. Out of the box experience is very smooth and the assistance provided by support was on target and simple to follow. You don't need experience with other solutions to get this running reliably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to its ease of us, some features that power users would like are missing. There is no virtual networking, there is no storage management, there is no native support for OVAs. While it can convert the containers, it requires an SMB share which may not be available in some environments. Additionally, there is no timeout for the hypervisor admin login (well, there is but I was told its 12 months), which may be a major security concern for some.

I use the Scale Computing Platform as our primary virtual environment and appreciate its scalability with resources, space, and time. The platform is really easy to use and offers great flexibility to system administrators. My favorite part is the user experience because, despite being new to virtual environments, I found Scale easy to understand and use. I think the ability to effectively re-allocate resources quickly is crucial, as it allows us to solve performance problems on our production VMs. The setup was also very easy, thanks to the streamlined process by the Scale support team. I also like that we switched to Scale from Veeam due to better pricing and scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe development of some kind of full login page for all of your Scale clusters. I am aware of the feature within the console to navigate to other clusters, but I feel like it could be easier to use/understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Scale Computing Platform offers ease of use for migrating our existing VM workload and building out new VM infrastructure, which is crucial for modernizing our IT operations. The streamlined interface and functionality are great for the day-to-day management of virtualized infrastructure, saving time and resources and enabling our IT team to focus on other priorities. The initial setup was quite easy and the documentation is clear, plus their deployment support is great to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scale Computing Platform is definitely lacking in a few areas such as adding or modifying VM resources in real time without the need to power down the VM. Integration with major backup vendors is another concern, although this is less of an issue now with official support for Veeam. We’ve faced limitations when adding or removing NICs without rebooting the server, or changing the VLAN assignments to the vNICs. There are also bugs, like adding a second vNIC causing a blue screen on the server, which haven't been resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the scalability of the Scale Computing Platform. I'm able to quickly and easily spin up new instances while also making virtualization changes without affecting our production environment. I can add resources on the fly to production servers and create new server stacks as needed with very little effort. The platform is also affordable, offering similar performance at a lower cost than the previous solution we used. The initial setup was very easy, thanks to their quick setup guide, which takes very little expertise to work through, and with snapshot recovery, setup was finished quickly.

I'm not a huge fan of the interface. It feels outdated. Error message pop up in the field of view, not able to suppress or move them to a different view. Also, we are not able to add or customize the widgets showing stats on the portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Set it and forget it. Simple and effective features to help deliver a robust environment. Snapshot and replication technologies help deliver an effective backup and disaster recovery solution. Ability to leverage a hardware vendor of your choice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you start using, you need to keep going. Ability to grow to a cluster from single node requires a rebuild. 7 year software lifecycle only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the Scale Computing Platform's ease of use. The initial setup was simple and fast, which was a huge plus for me. I also find the dashboard very helpful as it provides all the information on my virtual machines in one place, supported by great filters and tagging that make everything easy to find. It's also worth mentioning that compared to alternatives, it offers failover and redundancy at a better price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the ability to see VM metrics, time vm was created and the use of a virtual nic/switch. more compabality with vmdk files, not having to sit on the upload screen for all uploads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the Scale Computing Platform’s ease of use, which makes setting up and breaking down servers very straightforward, despite having a history of challenges with platforms like VMWare. The intuitive layout of Scale Computing Platform allows me to navigate without constantly referencing documentation, saving me valuable time and avoiding frustration. Additionally, I appreciate the improved snapshot capabilities and the speed it brings to software patching processes, which is a significant upgrade over my previous experiences. Overall, the user interface is easier to read compared to VMWare and has proven to be more reliable in operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like more customizable views on the Scale Computing Platform. The current default view is satisfactory, but having the option to personalize it with elements like pie charts would enhance data visualization for me. For example, displaying pie charts to track the distribution of free, used, and system-dedicated RAM on a server would be beneficial. This level of customization would cater to personal preferences and facilitate easier data interpretation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
