Its user-friendliness and consolidated dashboard make backups and recovery very easy
Having a single dashboard makes management and monitoring easier because you do not have to log into multiple services and multiple dashboards in order to gather the same information. It is always nice to have a consolidated view of your data and how you are performing your day-to-day operations with backup and recovery if you need to recover any file. It is very easy to restore data. The user interface or the dashboard is very intuitive. It is very easy to use, making it easy to recover or replicate any files. It is extremely important for us that Infrascale has the ability to recover data from any point in time. Data is the jewel crown of any business. If you do not have the right data, you are going to face many challenges in running your business. It is important to recover and restore the right data at the right time so that it does not impact your business and your bottom line.

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 initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."
"Given that we are in the hurricane belt, the spin-up of replicated servers in the cloud is among the most valuable features. If our site goes down we can just connect to the cloud appliance, spin up the servers, and we are good to go."
"For this particular client, the solution’s Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V, was a very big factor as well. They have a bunch of physical servers, as well as virtual. The mix is predominantly virtual. They also have some NAS boxes that we back up using Infrascale."
"What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean. It does not require six people to get involved in order to do a restore or perform a backup."
"The ease of use is valuable. It is user-friendly. Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to boot locally, as well as in Infrascale's cloud. This means that we can either do on-site failover or failover to their cloud."
"Get Infrascale and talk to their team. They will support you, and they will make you the happiest customer out there."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."
"It's good for file services."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
 

Cons

"Their margin from what they're wholesale and their MSRP is kind of tight for people who have to manage it."
"I would like to be able to limit the bandwidth in cases, for example, where we are uploading the backup."
"One of the significant drawbacks of it is due to the fact that we're using two devices to manage the same vCenter, or virtualization environment, and they don't talk to each other. That means I can't easily see what VMs are already being protected. If I'm on Infrascale device "A" and I have protected these VMs, when I go over to device "B," I can't see that those VMs are already covered."
"The pricing model that they recently changed to is a little bit complicated, and the biggest area for improvement is a better way of figuring out how to price it."
"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."
"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."
"When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups."
"The only point of improvement I can think of for Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is that the restore process could sometimes be easier to do and faster. A file-only restore or directory-only restore can sometimes take quite some time; however, a server restore goes fast."
"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing structure was changed some time ago and it's a lot more efficient and the price points are a lot better. They're improving and heading in the right direction."
"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."
"The appliances have different prices because of storage, size, and memory. For example, the older machines support more virtual machines, whereas the new one only supports one virtual machine. As we have purchased the later appliances, they have probably been a little bit more expensive because they have to be good enough to keep the business running if the physical server goes down. We learned our lesson from the one that went down when we tried to run products and it wasn't quick enough."
"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
