Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma
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

"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"The customer service and support are really good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"Due to the licensing and deployment, it's scalable and flexible."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."

Cons

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"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."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"They have cloud storage technology. The problem with it, it's slow."
"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

"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's price is reasonable."
"Acronis offers a 30-day free trial of the product."
"It is not a cheap product."
"The product’s pricing is expensive."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
