DiskStation greatly helps with backup and file access. For those who like to try, DMS apps offer useful and fun ways to take full advantage of your network-attached storage devices.
Pros
Being able to effectively manage your NAS through a web browser and an intuitive GUI is a big advantage DiskStation offers. There is a myriad of free applications you can install through DSM to fully take advantage and maximize your NAS device. The well-designed mobile applications also make accessibility possible when you are on the go.
Cons
Apart from being unable to use Active Backup Agent with macOS which is a big letdown, there isn't any other issue I have with DiskStation.

40 TB of space for my company team, to share data and collaborate. This works quite well for our business.
Pros
DiskStation and its added packages make the Synology the best NAS available for small to medium businesses, including SOHO. A perfect suite of software packages, most available for free, to use on your PC or mobile device.
Cons
I really want a BookStation or DS Books app to keep track of my massive library of digital book titles.

Pros
It is very easy to remove and copy a new copy of the virtual machine, so everytime the students want to break the computer we can recover to use very fast
Cons
We can not sync with google drive and most of our exercises are in google drive. If they could creaty a sync with google drive will be a good solution for us.

Synology as absolute NAS chief!
Reviewed on 14/02/2019
Pros
This software is so unbelievable versatile, it fits for any private and small business need!
Cons
This software is not really easy movable from old to new hardware if the hardware isn't quite the same. It would be nice that migration to new hardware will be more supported.
