I had a very old Buffalo Tera station that had a very hard to reinstall OS and it was a very slow system (personal). Since coming on to my current job, we have had exclusive use of Synology DiskStation, so I can't compare it to anything else. Previous previous jobs, we have …
We had used an HPE MSA for one of our offices, the ROI was not as good as the Synology DiskStation due to the price. It required more of a setup needing to have a Windows OS to manage it. While the DiskStation just needed a few clicks to set up. There was no additional software …
Easy setup. Good price for TB. Easily accessible hdd drives. Thanks to e-mail notification. In the event of a disk failure, I will immediately get a notification to replace the HDD.
We honestly went with Synology DiskStation because of the cost solution and how quickly we were able to acquire the units. After acquiring and we were able to work through setup, it far exceeded our expectation in the ability to configure and be able to get things running. We …
These are very similar products. QNAP is known for better high end performance. I really like the Synology interface. It makes it very easy to use. There are so many applications that are available that expand the functionality significantly.
Synology DiskStation is by far the best all-around NAS solution on the market. QNAP provides more hardware variability and some better prices, but QNAP's OS, QT, is simply not as good as Synology's DSM OS. FreeNAS is an extremely powerful and robust open-source NAS solution …
I have a Qnap, and I hate it compared to Synology. Synology is the easy button of a NAS. You can literally have it all up and running, configured, and backing up servers in 30 minutes. I have not used it for cameras, but I hear it's great. My qnap just sits in a box now, won't …
When we were making a decision on what to go with we looked at storage capacity, extra features offered, package deals, and overall cost. When we considered Dropbox, it felt like it was too much for how much we would get and that we needed some growing to do before we moved …
We have evaluated the QNAP units (which have higher processor ratings, but the software isn't good), and the Western Digital NAS unit, and FreeNAS setup but none have the simplicity with their DSM software and support that Synology provides yes, being able to call Synology …
Synology DiskStation packs a punch with the latest and greatest feature set which goes above and beyond many other vendors. It allows for a turn-key solution to cover almost every use case in the SMB market leaving other vendors behind.
When using Arlo on a device - if you log into another device, then you'll be kicked off on the device previously used. but i like Arlo for personal use as it's free to use.
We transitioned from a standard Windows File Server. This solution is much cheaper. Easy to use and extremely reliable. We will be replacing our two Synology boxes in 2020 with newer versions.
Synology stacks up very well against the QNAP and the Nexsan. We used to find the Nexsan was very power-hungry in the data centre as well as being very loud to run. We still run a QNAP in our environment which works in a very similar way and with a similar interface as Synology …
Synology meets a different need. Smaller companies do not need the scalability of the NetApps, Equalogics, Isilons. PowerVault was too complicated for customer self-support. Synology met the storage capacity needs, and was easy to set up and use.
When we decided to look for a nearby storage solution, we briefly considered QNAP NAS. From a technical data sheet point of view, it has complete feature parity to DiskStation. Ultimately, we decided to go with DiskStation because of word of mouth from one of our team members;…
I considered the WD MyCloud NAS as well as the Seagate Ironwolf. I found the Synology was a better overall product with a lot more features and value for the investment. I also briefly considered brands such as Asustor and TerraMaster, but kept coming back to Synology because …
