"Easy and Awesome Product"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

It was super easy to setup, support is quick and friendly, and is American based. The cluster we purchased was slightly oversized but we purchased as recommended, and it came in handy because we were able to add a bit more we weren't planning too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

There is not one thing I can we dislike about it. It has been a pleasure working with the company from start to finish, and even now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid hyper-converged solution for small/medium businesses."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Simplicity. Honestly, at first I thought it looked too simple, but after fully migrating over to Scale from VMware I realized I didn't require the thousand tweaks that it offered. Plus, most SysAdmin's dread upgrades to VMware and with Scale it is an absolute breeze. I spend barely anytime having to manage our 3-node cluster compared to what I was doing with our VMware cluster.

We've been running Scale for a little over 2 years and it's been exceptional. Support is all US based and timely.

We will be putting in our first DR node in a few months so we are committed to Scale. Also, no need to purchase additional licensing for replication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

There are few things I wish they would add such as Hot Add CPU/Memory, Dynamic Memory, firmware management (the ability to managed drivers/firmware for the hardware), advanced networking (netflow within the hypervisor), VM metrics, VM boot order, and VM affinity (I want to make sure my Domain Controller's are running on different hosts).

Even with these features missing they weren't enough to sway me to stay with VMware or move to Nutanix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best server platform for the money."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The Scale server platform provides everything you need without the unnecessary extras. Its user interface is clean and highly intuitive, making it simple to navigate. One of the standout features is the ability to take snapshots and create clones in just seconds. This functionality is invaluable when working on tasks that have the potential for issues, as you can recover quickly if needed.

Even if you’ve never used Scale before, an experienced administrator will have no trouble finding their way around. Additionally, their support team is outstanding—always quick to address any issues and provide solutions effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Honestly, I don't have anything about the platform that I would consider a drawback. It has consistently met my needs and expectations without any notable issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experiences with Scale"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

It's easy to use, easy to set up, but right now, the thing I like best is that it is easy to transfer existing VMs from an old cluster to a new one. No more robocopy! Customer support is very well trained, speak English as their first language, and are interested in helping me resolve my issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The fact that you no longer sell and configure switches to connect nodes and network Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The team assisting in setup really guided us through every step."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The installation is procedure with the steps is very polished. It accounts for every decision and setup step, to make sure you both setting it up correctly, and walk away knowing how to manage it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The worst part is the scheduling portal, sometimes it is buggy. If you request a phone request, and miss the initial call, it is difficult to get connected by calling back.

Using the web conference and asking them to call is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy customer"
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like the Scale platform because it is easier to use than other VMs, and does exactly what we need it to do.

We currently have it for 3 of our locations and currently building our clusters using your new552F line.

Its Fast, effective and affordable.

Anytime I have needed to speak with support they are always, friendly, informative, and it is hard to find good support these days, but not with Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The down side I currently experience is not really with Scale but with Acronis Backups. I believe we have all of those wrinkles ironed out now but not at the fault of Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Some vendors do not have specific deploys for VM compatible with Scale systems, but you can ever convert VM's to Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale Computing - among the best choices I have made as a network manager."
What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

When creating VMs, setting up the # of CPUs, allocated memory and disk space is incredibly simple. After migrating to Scale Computing, I 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 Scale Computing Platform?

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.
