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 user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"It provides quick backup recovery."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"The disaster recovery feature."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is easy to use. I don't need any help to figure out how to do it. It is also very easy to install and upgrade. It is very simple and easy to use for restoring. It supports universal restoration. I can restore a full machine to another hardware with this, which is a very good feature."
"I would recommend this solution. It's easy and fast, you don't need to be on-premises you can use it from anywhere."
"It's good for file services."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
 

Cons

"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"Acronis Backup Cloud can improve by having fewer updates and patches to the solution. Additionally, should improve the functions that already exist in the solution rather than add new ones."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features. Additionally, for backups, I would like more replication options beyond the current VMXI replication."
"It would be better if the price of the solution was improved for medium-sized businesses. Moreover, the email security should be improved. We are awaiting new updates on the product."
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​"
"The reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
"Improving the pricing would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"It is good value for money."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"The product’s pricing is expensive."
"Acronis offers a 30-day free trial of the product."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."
