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.

Offers offers various transport modes and integrations with storage providers and good simplicity, ease of use, and ease of deployment
Veeam has been rolling out a lot of integrations lately. But compared to the other backup vendors, they are a little bit behind on the application support. Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that. If a customer is running a MySQL cluster, Veeam does not support that. But they support customers who have standalone instances of such workloads. So, I'd really like to see Veeam start to focus on supporting as many applications and scenarios as possible because that is the major difference between them and the other backup vendors. So, supporting more applications and cluster scenarios is key. Especially cluster scenarios.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's good for file services."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
"Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"It is easy to set up initially."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
 

Cons

"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
"There's a situation where VMs run on different locks. It's running on the VM while having a relationship with nearby solutions running on the same server and storage. This creates a bottleneck that needs to be eliminated."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"The product must improve its performance."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"Its reporting feature could be better."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is not the cheapest, but you get a lot of value for your money."
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution is high."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing structure for Veeam ONE has changed to what is now called the "VUL" or "Universal License". Previously, people mainly used socket licenses, but this has now changed. The new pricing structure was introduced last year."
