Provides fast access to files and offers a reliable backup solution without compatibility issues
Versioning control helps speed up data recovery by providing easy access to previous versions of files. This is particularly useful when moving backups to off-site storage and deploying them quickly during installations. My experience with Synology Backup's security features includes partitioning for production environments, regular scans for new threats, and support for multifactor authentication. Password security is also emphasized, meeting basic security requirements. Before choosing Synology, consider its sensitivity in your network infrastructure, especially for critical backup and storage tasks. Prioritize security, including testing and recovery procedures, and evaluate the device's performance to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Overall, I would rate Synology C2 Backup as an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"One of the benefits of using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is that, along with backing up data, it secures it."
"Acronis has carved out a really good name for themselves and they're a trusted backup software system, and it's mainly from reliability."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options, and converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis"
"Part of the reason we selected Acronis as our backup solution is their amazing support and installation."
"It's good for file services."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"There is more room for improvement in the training."
"I have found that the solution is not as stable as it could be. When there are some errors it is difficult to know what took place to resolve them."

"The bad point is always customer support and partner support, which Acronis has never changed."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
