"Works Really Well!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Synology Data Protection Solutions?

We LOVE using Synology because it has helped us organize our files and projects as we have a secure backup of all the sites and designs we create! The best part is how we have a daily, weekly, and monthly backup of all the work we are doing. It leaves us with a sense of security that is priceless! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synology Data Protection Solutions?

We have had a few instances where we could not connect our Synology service to our servers and it was a bit delayed, but it was always resolved quickly. There are also so many additional services that come with our Synology that are amazing (chat, conferencing, etc.) but we have had occasional pockets where we cannot connect to those services either, but again it is usually resolved in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Synology Data Protection Solutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the issue of having a lot of data and needing a secure place to store all of our files. The company that physically hosts our servers where we host all our websites had a catastrophic failure and everything was lost. Thanks to our backup on our Synology disk station, we were able to bring back up every site we had created. It was literally a lifesaver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
