Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery provide more features than Synology DiskStation. Unlike the Synology DiskStation it has instant recovery features and can backup databases, Microsoft SQL, etc. Both are capable of deduplication and compression and can backup VMWare virtual machines. Veritas Backup Exec does not have deduplication and compression features when backing up data to the cloud. Unitrends is also better on licensing. Unlike Backup Exec, it's a capacity base licensing and not per seat.
