Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • -popular platform for NAS -very stable, well support, great community -cost-effective -flexible through growing number of apps (and ability to access linux core) -allows growth into serious server self-hosting
  • Reliability is exceptional. Easy to use custom-GUI. Plethora of updates. New Cloud Backup solution called C2 that is native to the appliance and sold by Synology. Best 1TB cost in the business. Device is compact and easy to setup/install. Multiple USB, Ethernet and "server" ports available to end-users.

Cons

  • -cost rises quickly with higher performance/storage demand -slow grow (DSM versions take a long time) -limited expansion capabilities on beginner level models -can get expansive (if you need to grow into larger models with higher performance, storage and memory needs)
  • Very few. It's going to sound ridiculous, but I'd prefer the ability to choose warning beeps. It sounds just like a UPS and as a technician, I know how to ignore those. I'd rather have a unique tone to identify the device. The screwless hardware is actually very strange to attach to the device. It uses a pin system for the screw holes instead of a blade like on most server chassis'

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Much better price than alternatives. Works well for mixed infrastructure. We have several generations of products and many types of servers. Zmanda covers everything. We have a good-sized environment with hundreds of servers and VMs, including some legacy boxes. We're backing up to multiple destinations. Hard to find a solution that supports everything in one UI. Backup policies, rotation, deduplication, compression help us keep storage in check.

Cons

  • (1) Zmanda passed through a couple of acquisitions which slowed updates several years ago. But we're now seeing regular releases and updates, improved documentation, and responsive support. (2) Also, but it helps to be Linux savvy, though the UI and installation workflows have been improved quite a bit in the last 2 releases.
