"A Reliable Digital Partner with Room for UI Improvements"
What do you like best about DiskStation?

I mainly use DiskStation as a dependable digital workspace that quietly handles a lot of things in the background while I focus on my actual work. I appreciate how it blends into my daily routine—automatically syncing data from my devices, organizing photos and documents, and even serving as a personal media library when I need it. What makes it especially valuable to me is the sense of ownership and control it gives me over my data, without the constant limitations or recurring costs of external cloud services. I enjoy how it easily adapts to changing needs, whether that’s collaborating with others, accessing files remotely, or scaling up storage as my data grows. The ecosystem around it feels thoughtfully designed, with tools that work well together and reduce the need to rely on multiple third-party solutions. I also value the peace of mind it provides—knowing my data is organized, accessible, and protected makes a noticeable difference. The initial setup of DiskStation was fairly smooth and straightforward overall, even for someone who isn’t deeply technical. The step-by-step installation process, clear on-screen instructions, and guided configuration made it easy to get the system up and running without feeling overwhelmed, which helped build confidence early on. DiskStation gives me confidence and control over my data, which makes it feel like a smart, long-term companion rather than just another piece of tech. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DiskStation?

From my perspective, DiskStation is still a strong and dependable platform, but a few rough edges stand out in everyday use. Sometimes the system feels more 'enterprise-focused' than friendly, with certain options buried deep in menus that require trial and error to fully understand. When multiple services like backups, media indexing, and syncing run at the same time, responsiveness can dip, which slightly breaks the otherwise smooth experience. I also feel that customization and visual flexibility are limited compared to more modern interfaces, making the environment feel a bit dated over long-term use. While the mobile apps are helpful for quick checks, they don’t always match the control or clarity of the desktop dashboard. A more guided setup for advanced features, better performance optimization for multitasking, and a refreshed, more intuitive UI would make DiskStation feel not just powerful, but also more approachable and modern.

What do you like best about DiskStation?

The DSM interface is clean and easy to navigate, even for someone who’s not super technical on the IT side since I am an Electrical Engineer. I also like how reliable it feels once everything is set up—you just forget it’s there and it keeps working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit costly compared to basic storage drives, and some of the extra apps or features require a bit of trial and error to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DiskStation?

I found the initial setup of DiskStation a bit difficult because I don't have much knowledge about it. I'm trying to read and understand more, but it hasn't been easy. Additionally, I wish it had more advanced features, such as the capability to make video calls with images, which would improve its functionality for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
