"Back up service easy to use"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Synology Data Protection Solutions?

Synology Active back up suite is the best solution for a small/medium size company as it is very easy to use and install. I managed to set up the back ups in all computers, including the server, and didn´t need the help of any technical consultant. Besides, I hired c2 to duplicate the Backup in the Cloud, making it safer. The cost is very low compared to its competitors, which is a another great advantage. So, to sum it up, easy back up at low costs, and user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synology Data Protection Solutions?

At the moment, I haven´t found any downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Synology Active Backup for Business"
5/5
What do you like best about Synology Data Protection Solutions?

"It is easy to use and have a good overview dashboard on the status of backup."

A good report feature for daily, monthly, or annual backup is absent from the majority of backup programs available on the market. Those who do want extra money in order to purchase or subscribe to the reporting option. The product comes with an excellent detailed reporting documentation for the Active Backup for Business Reporting capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synology Data Protection Solutions?

There aren't many user manuals or materials available for advanced users of the product. Synology ought to create additional YouTube user manuals for knowledgeable ABB users.More DSM settings are required for the backup folder, and documentation on backup compression is lacking. When configuring the backup folder compression setting during ABB setup, it ought to be included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
