User Testimonials
	Synology Active Backup Suite	AWS Storage Gateway
Likelihood to Recommend	Synology Small Companies, and domestic Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Amazon AWS The AWS Storage Gateway is well suited if you want a quick way to off load your backups to the cloud to eliminate the need of a offsite storage location for physical tapes. The ROI is quite good from that perspective since you can utilize Glacier storage for the virtual tapes. The AWS Storage Gateway is not well suited if data sets being backed up is very large. The lack of de-duplication will add time to your backup. It will also increase the egress charges Edwin Labirua Senior Infrastructure Engineer Read full review

Return on Investment	Synology Recovery of small critical Systems Fast and relyability Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Amazon AWS It has positively affected us for ETL on reports to customers that neither party wants to pay too much for. It has also positively affected us where our backup systems where old and had large maintenance costs. It has some new, net negative impact with slowed down delivery or random slowing incidents.
