Synology DiskStation products offer a wide array of features that are appealing to a small business, such as secure shared file storage, iSCSI targets, support for multiple protocols such as SMB, AFP, NFS, iSCSI, FTP, etc., and has been very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synology lacks in the high bandwidth area. Most of their products only have 1Gbps interfaces, and adding an add-on card after the fact can be difficult for many small business users to do on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of use, the GUI web based management console, the plethora of features offered, and the native integrations of so many tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speeds for production use are a little shy of what I'd expect for enterprise applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are looking for a NAS provider, Synology is great and there software is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, it is like its own Operating system but for you NAS devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The DiskStation Manager is one of the best parts of a Synology device. Loaded with excellent applications and built with the common user in mind it doesn't fail. Many of the basic features are quickly available from the main menu. Other items are available in the Control Panel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some items aren't immediately obvious and some applications aren't fully developed but they continue to improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most comprehensive Nas unit is very easy to install and the device is also available online. This automatically updates the operating system.

During the update, there is a shortage of 2 minutes of access. Raid 1 support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's no guarantee the products from Amazon.com in Turkey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synology Disk Manager is a very easy to use operating system for the Synology Array. All the basic functionality that you would expect in a NAS operating system. Visibility into all NAS metric are available and easy to understand along with updates and patches being easy to identify and apply. The new CMS feature of Disk Manager provided a single pane of glass for monitoring additional Synology Arrays which was a nice added feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike other that the fact of not having a command line option and the fact that support isn't really at an 24x7x365 enterprise level. Having the option of talking with an engineer - even if there was a premium cost - would be a significant advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very simple and reliable, it works, compared to other NAS software it is lightyears ahead

It also allows you to run different progrmas from within the NAS which makes it a powerhouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it could be faster, I don't like to wait long for folders to open up or for different "programs" to load on the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was easily able to figure out how to use Synology's DSM, and got myself up and running within a few minutes. Updates are a breeze, making it work as a NAS intermediary between our office scanner and our G-Suite drive was as simple as can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike about Synology. I only wish that I had a Synology or two at home to use for the multitude of features that the DSM offers including integration with iTunes and Plex! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature for our use is the ability to automatically backup my team's machines without it being known to the user. My team isn't tech savvy. so having it backup in the background is very helpful and puts my team at ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To access the backend remotely via the web browser doesn't go well with some browsers. I have to figure out a security workaround to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DSM is the heart of the OS - everything you need in an operating system. Similar to a graphical Linux. Great for simple maintenance of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes you're way better off using the command line thru Putty, as the graphical interface doesn't have all the fine controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
