QNAP offers a wide array of network-attached storage units for SMBs, home, and enterprise.

QNAP NAS

Network attached storage (NAS) systems contain a server or a server cluster on a LAN specializing in file serving and sharing, which can be accessed remotely by any number of clients on the network or outside it. A NAS array can be used to host a private cloud, for backup and disaster recovery, and ensuring the same files may be accessed by many users. Specialized computers and operating systems dedicated to creating a NAS may present an option; combining legacy equipment with software might also be viable.

I have used QNAP NAS both personally and professionally to share files with Family and friends at home and along side a Camera System, File SHare, Backup Solution in industry. QNAP has great Access permission options, RAID for redundancy and also a load of Sync and accessibility features to give customers all the tools they need to get whatever they need done!

QNAP had been a great addition to our network storage over the years, together with other products. QNAP is currently used with great storage as an additional back for our servers via network. It is also used to store data that we do not need on a daily basis since it has a massive storage capability. It addresses all business needs for storage and the possibility to scale as needed.

Ability to scale and increase storage as needed.
Safe RAID setups to protect on hard drive failures.
A lot of apps to address many aspects of business.
Ability to expand memory.
New 10GB connection available.

I can not think of any at this moment.
Not a con - but security issues are due to users' negligence.

Cost effective to expand storage for all organization.
Great hardware that lasts many years.
Safety to many different business purposes.

We use it for a file share, but the first reason is for backup. We have many installations, even in the data center of our cloud provider. For backup Virtual Machine (usually snapshot) and for our Oracle and Sqlserver production databases. We use Smb, NFS, i-SCSI directly attached to the machine (for disk quorum cluster), and so far nothing to complain about.

Expandability
All the way that we can use it as NAS
Interface is very friendly so event non IT people can manage.

I cannot quantify, but it really saves a lot of money for backup.

In MY organization QNAP NAS is being used only for technical reasons. For example as IT dept when we need to backup a customer's pc because is damaged or infected, we made a VEEAM image on the NAS via network. So it's easy to recover or extract data and it's fast. QNAP NAS offers high quality at right costs. We use it also to stock old data that need to be judged.

Save pc with VEEAM images
Share files and save them
NAS to NAS backup over internet
Surveillance

I've had difficulties upgrading firmwares
Reboot it's even very slow , like 15/20 minutes but that's not so critical

Save customers pc in VEEAM Images to work on the machines to repair them
Share data
NAS to NAS backup on premise and over internet
Stock old data to judge

POSITIVE: Very high quality NAS, durable, we sell them, then we make HW contracts for manteining them and they don't need nothing they are STRONG
POSITIVE: they are good looking, customer even appreciate them also in that way
NEGATIVE: They are slow updating and rebooting.. but that's not so negative
POSITIVE: There are full of functionality i think you can find like everything you may need from a NAS, also for MULTIMEDIA

We have been working with QNAP NAS devices for more than 11 years. As you know, storage solutions require more space every day and must be available at all times.

When we received the first of the QNAP NAS solutions, it managed us very well for 3 years and met our expectations. When we realized that the capacity of the first device we bought was not enough and that we could produce very different solutions with the QNAP NAS, we immediately bought our second device and it has progressed in this way and now we have 3 devices.

Management interface is very useful
Quick solutions can be produced with flexible storage pools
It can create a powerful customizable system on its own, along with connectivity features and add-ons.
A powerful customizable system can be created with flexible connectivity features and add-ons.
Advanced user management can be easily provided either in its own interface or on the domain.
It can take on the role you want with its integrated modes or add-ons that you can install later.
Most wonderful feature, advanced support service, we never had any unsolved problems and the support engineer was always interested, followed one to one
With web, ssh, ftp, winscp connections, you can easily access in any environment.

It is not related to the QNAP NAS, but the most common problem we have experienced is with the disks themselves.

The NAS Server itself is expandable, so you can develop it instead of changing it whenever you need it. Such as Ram, Network Bandwidth, Disk Capacity.
We have not experienced any hardware malfunctions in these years, the hardware structure is very stable. Even at first, the environment in which we were running the device was not what it should be, but it still did not cause any problems.
We stopped doing investment cost analysis because it looks like it will work until we retire.

I do not know if QNAP has such an additional service, I just did not ask for on-site service. Maybe this service works for that matter. But I didn't need it because the support engineers do a great job.

A few years ago I could not access my nas device in any way. The device was on, but there was no connection. I checked everything and registered to the service engineer and then called. He was connected to my system and saw that I could not access the device, he told me to eject all the disks on the NAS device and turn it back on (!) That scared me but still I did the device turned on. Then when we turned it off and re-inserted and opened the discs, it did not turn on again. The device was intact but we could not access my data due to a problem with the raid structure. Turning off the device, connecting the disks and connecting a monitor keyboard to the NAS device, was the only solution to recover from the command line. He explained everything to me one by one for hours and all my data became visible after the operations we did. At the end of the day, I felt like I was trained as a QNAP Support Engineer, and I saw again that the right product was built with the support behind it.
