The smaller form factor that reduces the amount of rack space required versus Servers and Sans and backup storage. And the single pane of glass console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only major issues so far has been the Ubiquiti switch delays requiring us to pay extra for the backbone switches required for the main clusters, and most recently a glitch with trying to install the Acronis agent onto our cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Support has been great in my experience so far. The snapshot and backup options are excellent as well as the recovery options. The UI is efficient and easy to navigate. I have literally not had a single issue since the install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't have any specific dislikes right now. It's easy to foget some things when you don't have to be in the management every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am relatively new in my position and when I notified Scale of that, they got back to me promptly and scheduled one-on-one time to go over their entire system with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a lot to Scale, and since I am new I need to be more comfortable contacting them for support. It's more me needing to take the time to reach them other than a limitation of theirs. 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.
Honestly what I dislike the most is that backup solutions such as Veeam or Datto don't really integrate with Scale. They work just fine with the Guest VMs. If there was some better integration for BDR solutions it would be cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of management of the platform. No having to manually do any VM migraine, though you can.
Snapshots are simple and scheduled, web access needs no client Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No direct way to migrate VM disks in or out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Extremely simple setup. The time to unbox, rack and stack and have VMs running is only a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there were more granular settings for networking, viewing disk I/O and most importantly, integrated authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With some background IT knowledge, Scale Computing delivers a robust, easy product to set up and deploy. If you don't have an IT background, they can set up the entire environment to get your solution up and running. Their 24/7 support can guide you through any needed troubleshooting, and you can give them remote access to the system if advanced action is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be helpful if the USB connections on the hardware could be attached to a VM for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How easy it is to interact with them, I can also easily have access to sales engineers to size a customer needs easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
nothing, it's easy to get a quote and support from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything is all in one location and for me to manage instead of having multiple hypervisors to login and manage. (Hyper-v) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The migration process was a bit clunky coming from a Hyper-V environment with conflicting vss writers from our backup software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use is incomparable to other providers. Every step of the way, from VM creation, to management, is a fulfilling and streamlined experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only time I can complain while interfacing with our cluster is due to Microsoft's issues, never Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
