Backup on Your Terms!
Trusted by some of the best and brightest minds in the IT industry with more than 7 million installations, Synology has proven over and over to be a stand alone solution for home and business users.
Organizations should definitely look into backing up your Microsoft 365 environment and not rely on Microsoft themselves. This product is perfect for this opportunity.
Honestly I feel there are no features missing, does what it is designed to do.
Great application that has reliably backed up all user data and is easy to recover to any point in time.
Seriously, your going to have to pay somehow, either in money or in the loss of privacy.
Reliable backup with great pricing, especially with bundles. We have only had to use a backup once and it worked well and was relatively easy to get the backup.
Sometimes emails which are deleted between periods of backup are missed.
We set it up in less than an hour, it works flawlessly, and we have a live backup that we can go to whenever its needed. This is a perfect product.
The criteria in the search engine are limited.
Price is good, good hardware from Synology, a lot of features or addons-apps to install, good security, a lot of updates, monitoring and logging is great, backup to the cloud is supported.
I have a bare model with a weak cpu, and so every now and then I experience latency issues, or slow ramp up times.
The interface is a lot more cleaner than I expected and having the peace of mind knowing that everything is backed up with the option to expand at a moments notice is great.
Occassional lag over the internet (con of any remote interface).
DiskStation greatly helps with backup and file access. For those who like to try, DMS apps offer useful and fun ways to take full advantage of your network-attached storage devices.
A few things that require set up can sometimes be a bit confusing.
Backing up multiple Macs, backing itself up to another Synology drive or S3 and USB is seamless. Very easy to use and set up.
To set up remote login was a bit tricky specially setting up a DDNS.
Thomas: Hi, I'm Thomas. I work as a senior project manager, and my company is in the networking industry. I would rate the Synology Workstation, the Synology product that I have, a five. I use this station as a NAS, network-attached storage. So, I store all my files. I also use it as a VPN server and also as a web server in my environment. And I use, also, all of the mobile apps, and also use it on my desktop laptops and use it for backing up all of my Windows machines. What I like most about this station is that the software is very user-friendly. It's quite easy to be able to configure applications, and it has a large suite of applications that are both Synology zone applications. Plus, they allow you to use open-source applications as well, and it makes it quite easy for you to be able to configure any additional needs that you have for your environment. Probably the biggest thing that I dislike about the Synology DiskStation is that although the software is really fantastic, the hardware compared to alternatives is a little bit underpowered and uses slightly older technology, but that's probably the biggest downside.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
