DiskStation Erfahrungen

A worthy product for all developers

Kommentare: Best product and definitely worth giving a try

Vorteile:

The software is designed in such way that it provides a fastest cloud services and our own virtual machine at an insanely low price

Nachteile:

I am using this software for over 6 months have nothing like cons.

Excellent small business solution

Kommentare: Using ABfB to backup my customers' servers and PCs off-site, and to backup my own local data to B2. So easy to use I backup all my managed PCs for bare metal restore. I can do this because ABfB's dedupe is very good at reducing storage used. Tested restores come up ready to put back into production.

Vorteile:

The deduping is excellent at conserving space. Several different backup methods including multi-version, incremental and full-system bare metal restore. Can backup Linux servers agentless using SSH keys. Restores so far have been consistently solid. File and folder restores can be initiated from the NAS or the client computer. A report can be emailed daily or weekly showing the status of all backups. Backup as many computers as your bandwidth can handle -- there are no per-machine licensing costs.

Nachteile:

No bare metal restore for Linux. I have numerous servers, desktops and laptops running Debian, Devuan, and Ubuntu that would be nice to be able to recover without rebuilding.

Diskstation for NFPs

Kommentare: Diskstation is very easy to user and setup - My team adapted to in very quickly

Vorteile:

Diskstation replaced a legacy Windows file server for us! No licensing required!

Nachteile:

No direct integration with Entra ID for single sign on

Solid & functional

Kommentare: My business has been using DiskStation for the last four years. Aside from the occasional hiccup, it has worked admirably. We use it for basic music playback in our music school. We have one at each of our locations, synced so that changes made to one location are reflected at the other. The response is slow at times, particularly when using a remote connection.

Synology Diskstation has been an incredibly valuable resource for business and home solutions.

Vorteile:

The amount of first-party apps which are aimed at solving a lot of tasks users may have is what makes this software suite great. Other NAS providers may aim at a handful of media and downloading softwares, but Synology makes it clear out of the gate that their focus is on productivity. They produce apps which handle everything from CRM and CMS installations to security camera integration, to virtualization. The sheer value proposition of Diskstation makes it difficult to view this as a valuable product. Their customer service is also spot-on - we had to run an RMA through their center and both Email and Phone support were prompt and helpful.

Nachteile:

The only issue I have found is either the learning curve of the software is a bit too high for some use cases, or the software doesn't dive deep enough into it outright replacing everything we are using. While I see incredible value for others with the mail server, for instance, it cannot perform everything we need and so it isn't being used. This is only a minor issue though, as I am confident there is something for everybody on in this product.

Easy to use, full featureset.

Kommentare: I have installed multiple Synology NAS systems for different labs on campus. Built-in multiple 10Gb networking provides fast access. AD integration provides simple authentication path for changing class rosters allowing simple turnover from semester to semester.

Vorteile:

Provides a intuitive interface to what could be complex configurations. Linux based with a web management interface that allows granular control of configuration. Great support for Active Directory authentication. Security updates are prompt and backwards compatible. The current system software run on the most recent Synology hardware as well as the older hardware. The only thing missing from older hardware are Intel CPU dependent features suck as virtualization. All add-on software modules that you need are freely available for installation via the Package manager.

Nachteile:

Older or lower end hardware uses a slower ARM CPU. This limits performance compared with Intel CPU based hardware.

The Best Way to Manage and Backup Your Data

Vorteile:

DiskStation is so user-friendly. The menus are easy to navigate and you can find what you're looking for very quickly. Setup is a breeze and the add-ons give you more functionality without any added cost. I love the virtual desktop environment that Synology has created for DiskStation. It feels like I'm using another OS but I think that's a good thing. The environment is different enough so I don't confuse it with my main OS but familiar enough so I can do what I need to quickly. Synology has made backing up critical data effortless and made accessing that data very convenient.

Nachteile:

The software is great but the online support material is lacking in a big way. I wish there were more videos produced by Synology to help users understand the advanced features of the software. It also feels like I'm downloading updates all the time.

DiskStation is the best and cheapest backup solution.

Kommentare: DiskStation is the best solution that I use. and has a wide range of integration.

Vorteile:

DiskStation is cheap and stable, with a large store of applications to integrate with everything. DiskStation can connect to the C2 cloud smoothly.

Nachteile:

After 5 years of using Diskstation, I didn't find a major con. We can say the frequent updates were annoying.

It works and its dirt cheap. Solid NAS. Support could drastically improve.

Kommentare: The cost of storage and the functions, this is a great investment with no learning curve.

Vorteile:

Pretty much everything but support. Assuming you bought the bare model, you populate the drives. Then use the utility that finds it by MAC and you assign an IP. Connect, and you'll find a rather pretty GUI that resembles windows 7. Updates and simple, and frequently released. 3rd party and native apps are abound. Its also dead simple to set up replication, if you wanted to setup a second unit for DR or backups. I also personally use one at home, using it as a plex host for my home theater, and it performs flawlessly.

Nachteile:

Support isn't great, and it's overseas. Expect to conduct it all via email, and responses are not quick, Still, its so solid you may never need to contact them. Compared to the costs of a SAN, and other NAS, this should be a no brainer.

Synology DiskStation, a must for secure your data

Kommentare: Synology diskstation is my backup repository, I save a copy of my data and also several mailbox accounts. So this helps to meet GDPR compliance.
The initial setup was easy and I can find a lot of documentation on internet, or eventually ask for help to Synology support.

Vorteile:

The interface is simple and intuitive. You can set the nas and install/configure services and apps (I recommend a RAID 5 disk configuration for better performance). I use Diskstation as backup repository for email accounts and data. As data backup, Email backup is crucial too and you can backup e.g. all your 365 mailboxes and features. Also you can set remote backups of your data. Definitely worth the price.

Nachteile:

DIskstation works well and I don't have any issue to tell

Worth every penny and then some

Kommentare: I have had a excellent experience with DiskStation software and hardware. It's easy to setup and you will be up and running in no time because of this. I really loved the user experience and was pleasantly surprised by how fast the software was.

Vorteile:

I love the simplicity and the speed of the software. You feel like working on a native app, without the overheads of a native app. It's surprisingly snappy, responsive and feels very polished. It's featured enough for even a middle sized organization.

Nachteile:

Some notifications point towards actions that needs to be taken (as an example, security gives some suggestions for making your setup more secure). The notification will tell you what need to be done. However, sometimes the instructions can become bit confusing (finding the exact place to execute the instructions). Notification should make a link to whatever the section of the configuration the changes need to be done and take the user there. However this is very minor, and as the time goes by - i got to know what it means by simply looking at the message. (it's not the most intuitive for a first time user though)

Product offering are available for all size businesses

Kommentare: We use DiskStation for file sharing, imaging, and Hyper-V.

Vorteile:

the built-in apps are some of the best in the industry. they also provide updates to the native OS with regular frequency. iSCSI work well. Like the ability to backup MS365. We migrated to a new Diskstation from an older Diskstation for one client and they process went so smooth.

Nachteile:

SMB pricing is good, Enterprise pricing increases exponentially. Would like to see even more third-party integrations.

This is a great server set up for an agency or freelancer.

Kommentare: Great product. Overall I would recommend this for agencies or freelancers that want to have file storage onsite vs in the cloud.

Vorteile:

File storage, file sharing, backups and document management were very easy to set up and use. Used this for many years before switching to a cloud storage system.

Nachteile:

The only thing that I had an issue with was initial set up. It did take us some time to get connected and up and running but once we did it once and had to redo it when we moved offices it was easy.

Diskstation as fileserver

Kommentare: Very good, stable OS and never data loss. Good simple fileserver for small SMB!

Vorteile:

Price is good, good hardware from Synology, a lot of features or addons-apps to install, good security, a lot of updates, monitoring and logging is great, backup to the cloud is supported.

Nachteile:

Nothing, it works like expected. Maybe would commercial support be an option to think about in the future as feature

Simple. Robust. Customizable. Effective. Reliable.

Kommentare: Per-device local & remote backup. Local redundant file storage. Fast & secure NAS solution.

Vorteile:

Clean interface. Ease of access. Customizable. 3rd Party App support & security. It just WORKS, ALWAYS.

Nachteile:

I do not have anything that I would attribute to a Con in all truth.

Useful software from the NAS manufacturer

Vorteile:

Diskstation is both software and hardware for enterprise or personal sever use. The hardware comes in different configurations like 2, 4 or 6 drive bays with different ram and CPU options as well. The software allows you to configure your NAS to the exact needs for your solution. It’s extremely useful when the hardware throws an error (like we have experienced due to bad drives and not anything due to the diskstation hardware). The software tells you the error immediately on login and what time it happened. There’s a reason synology is the industry leader in storage, the diskstation platform is smart, easy to setup even for those who are new to networks and network storage, and it’s smart.

Nachteile:

The interface can be cluttered sometimes and a little hard to find a specific setting.

Great product

Vorteile:

Awesome Nas software which does all you want and then some. I sincerely recommend this over any other kind of Nas that's available out there.

Nachteile:

Nothing, it's just a Great product. The only thing I miss is being able to run my own hardware.

Ease of implementation

Vorteile:

The ease of implementation of this server with DiskStation and software is a massive plus for synology.

Nachteile:

To set up remote login was a bit tricky specially setting up a DDNS. However, the community is very helpful.

Synology DiskStation for Business

Kommentare: DiskStation has been great for the company and allows us to continuously adapt to an ever-changing work environment.

Vorteile:

This software allowed us to create a NAS system to be shared with users in the office. We were able to set and configure rules and install applications as needed to fit our needs.

Nachteile:

There is a learning curve to the software.

I had no idea that owning a Synology would be one of the best decisions I'd ever made.

Vorteile:

There are hundreds of apps that you can install to extend the functionality of your Synology. I put docker on it and am using it as a testbed for my web development projects.

Nachteile:

The support documentation for the product is good but could be better. Many of the add-ons apps don't have any documentation on how to use the app.

A very good OS makes a very good NAS

Vorteile:

I was skeptical when deciding about a new NAS. Synology was for sure an expensive solution, but all reviews I've read came to the conclusion that it works due to having the best OS out there. So I got it and I have to say that I'm really impressed with the OS, it's set of features are also endless. It has all kinds of NAS-related features, but also a lot of features you can use in a small business, it pretty much can replace a small server.

Nachteile:

Nothing so far, no issues, no problems. Only thing that comes to mind is that it's expensive compared to other similar devices in terms of hardware.

Surveillance Station

Kommentare: I couldn't be happier with the functionality and reliability of Diskstation

Vorteile:

This is a very handy and inexpensive surveillance system for individuals or small businesses. We currently have 5 cameras connected and plan on adding several more.

Nachteile:

There really aren't any actual cons to this software. At first it seems a bit pedestrian for a lack of a better term, but it's truly powerful enough for small businesses.

SANology

Vorteile:

Synology is amazing SAN Server. Its OS is very user-friendly. You can create and manage multiple raids of a same or different type in one enterprise level Disk Station. You can add a hot spare drive that kicks in itself in case of any drive failure You can manage users and groups and grant them required rights like FTP read only etc.

Nachteile:

Sometimg update requires reboot that sucks

One of the best NAS products around

Kommentare: Having centralized backup for all business computers, as well as easy-to-manage sharing and access permissions has been a great feature of the Synology gear.

Vorteile:

The interface is easy to use but also incredibly powerful. There are so many add-on packages that make this device even more powerful.

Nachteile:

The only possible downside I see is paid support for exFAT instead of built-in support. Running the latest version of DiskStation also requires buying Synology hardware, which isn't the cheapest hardware around.

Great small business class storage along with excellent home storage features.

Kommentare: Great product for small business or low end storage needs.

Vorteile:

Great price, easy to setup, awesome performance and many features.

Nachteile:

The only thing that I can say would be I wish they would focus on a higher end business line.
