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.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
"It's good for file services."
"The interface is user-friendly; it's easy to deploy and easy to manage."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"We were struggling with having software that would give us reliable backup and when we implemented the Veeam solution, it solved the problem for us."
"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"It is a very solid product with an easy UI."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"If you want to have a small and cheap system, that is not Veeam; but if you want performance, reliability, support, then this solution is best for that."
 

Cons

"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
"Moving backup repositories and merging backup chains is either difficult or not possible as far as I know in the current release of Veeam Backup and Replication."
"The solution needs to have the capacity to address more legacy workloads. For example, things like integration with tapes."
"I would like to see agents for backup of physical servers, as only agents for Windows servers have this tool."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is on the higher side, so I think they have to think about the price. It's a stable product and there was no requirement to keep in touch with the support team, so the renewal license was too expensive."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
