Overall Satisfaction with Synology DiskStation

While more and more products are cloud based nowadays, we also have some technologies that are local to the building, such as access control and camera systems. These need a decent backup solution. Synology DiskStation offers this in the Active Backup for Business software. Furthermore, the support for Docker means we can run a local monitoring solution to notify us in case a service disruption occurs.

Pros

  • Backup for servers and other computers
  • Docker support
  • Stability

Cons

  • Update of software components (such as the Docker version)
  • Official support for more RAM
  • Built-in ioT support such as Zigbee, Matter
  • Positive impact: relatively small investment
The product is easy to configure with a graphical user interface, is very stable, and relatively self explanatory. It supports multiple client types like Apple, Windows and Linux and can integrate with the network. This makes it a product that is very easy to use, also for less experienced users

We appreciate it as a backup target for our internal systems such as camera recorders and access control systems, and the ability to run Docker containers locally, which enables us to run e.g. local monitoring and alerting solutions or a wireless network controller. We have not configured any SSO or AD integration.
