FAVORABLE

“Simple, reliable, and cost-effective Hyperconverged Infrastructure for lean IT Teams”

5.0

Dec 17, 2025

As an integrated platform its installation is very easy, the web interface is clear and easy to use, and required support over the years is very low. Sometimes the platform does not support certain OS or images but you can guess a workaround to make it work.

CRITICAL

“Limited Management Features and Integration Challenges Noted With Virtualization Product”

2.0

I wanted to like this product. With the rising costs of other virtualization products, I thought this might be a fit, but in the end it lacked features and good resources.

SC//Platform Likes & Dislikes

What I like most about Scale Computing is their simplicity and reliability. The platform is very easy to deploy and manage, even with a small team, and it significantly reduces day to day administrative effort compared to traditional virtualization stacks.

I like that it can automatically update itself without much intervention. It also seems to just work and even after a power outage, it would come up on its own.

If you have an issue, you will be talking to a human within minutes and they will be working on your issue at that time. No waiting on someone else to call you back or transfer the call.

One of the main drawbacks is the limited flexibility compared to more traditional virtualization platforms. Advanced customization options, integrations with some third party tools and fine grained control features are not as extensive as those offered by larger ecosystems.

The interface doesn't give you many options. It's very simple and you can't see what is going on under the hood. It also is lacking in features that would be helpful in managing the systems and servers. It doesn't integrate with many backup systems, and it's also hard to move any existing systems into it.

The cost of renewals increases yearly. Working with a third party seller is sometime frustrating due to waiting on them to provide quotes. Third party billing for yearly renewals can be a little time consuming.

Dec 27, 2025

We implemented this solution on our production lines as a test, and it's been a great solution thus far. We are very satisfied with the availability, reliability, and ease of use. In addition, it's easy to train others on how to utilize the platform once it's stood up.
