"Server for many needs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about DiskStation?

Synology Diskstation has a multitude of features. It allows it to be used first as a file storage, but offers many more apps that can be integrated in for more than just file storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DiskStation?

I dislike the possible vulnerabilities on it, if you do not know what you are doing in setting it up. Having it set up without a standard administrator account would help with the possible vulnerabilities depending on your setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about DiskStation?

Linux-based Disk Station Manager comes with a lot of features like backup, cloud, streaming, etc. we can access our data anywhere from DDNS, QUICKCONNECT also very secure to use, and no data loss as it comes with raid types and all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DiskStation?

Disk Stations are very costly and if they have hardware some issue after the warranty is over. Synology does not have a repair center nor does it make or sell parts for old units still to attempt to repair them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful system with user-friendly UI, good for SME"
4.5/5
What do you like best about DiskStation?

The Diskstation UI contains all the core features we'd expect from a complete "self-hosted" cloud system or NAS, wrapped up in an excellent UI, that I can ask non-technical members of our team to deploy and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DiskStation?

Performance depends a lot on the hardware that it's deployed on. Older systems really lag; the fancy GUI needs a fair bit of horsepower to feel smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Synology DiskStation for Network Backup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about DiskStation?

Very dependable devices.

The web-based operating system is well designed, clean and not cluttered with unnecessary features and bloatware.

Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) allows you to build an array out of disks of varying sizes while utilizing the full capacity of all drives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DiskStation?

In the past, Synologys low budget offering was somewhat underpowered and lacked features, compared with their competition. For example, other brands would give you two NICs on even their lowest price units, while Synology came with one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solidly built OS on solid hardware"
4.5/5
What do you like best about DiskStation?

Synology is a nice blend of price and performance. It's not the cheapest but not the most expensive; it's not the fastest but it's no slouch. It's a great mix of stuff that 'just works' with an excellent user community and widespread support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DiskStation?

The advent of 'certified' drives being the o nly things compatible is vexing. Thankfully they at least backed down and allow 'untested' hardware so that you don't specifically have to purchase from them and only them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
