Overall Satisfaction with Synology DiskStation
We needed a low-cost NAS solution, and low maintenance, due to a lack of staffing within the IT department.
- Easy to setup.
- Synology App Store grows with time and have access to a lot of 3rd party app options.
- Ability to scale easily and economically.
- Provide more options for expansion other than eSATA connectors.
- Easier access to RAM and SSD upgrades on the lower end models, without having to pull the unit almost completely apart.
- Management UI is slow to load on the lower end models, especially with multiple network connections.
- Saved a lot of money for my customers when compared to more robust NAS or SAN deployments.
- NFS shares for VMWare works quite well.
- Didn't like the fact I have to use specific branded SSDs for caching.
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.
