40 TB of space for my company team, to share data and collaborate. This works quite well for our business.
Pros
DiskStation and its added packages make the Synology the best NAS available for small to medium businesses, including SOHO. A perfect suite of software packages, most available for free, to use on your PC or mobile device.
Cons
I really want a BookStation or DS Books app to keep track of my massive library of digital book titles.

It do the job designed for, it is not the fastest but do the job.
Pros
It is very easy to remove and copy a new copy of the virtual machine, so everytime the students want to break the computer we can recover to use very fast
Cons
We can not sync with google drive and most of our exercises are in google drive. If they could creaty a sync with google drive will be a good solution for us.

Synology as absolute NAS chief!
Reviewed on 2019/02/14
Pros
This software is so unbelievable versatile, it fits for any private and small business need!
Cons
This software is not really easy movable from old to new hardware if the hardware isn't quite the same. It would be nice that migration to new hardware will be more supported.

The ease of use and included functionality of the synology diskstations make these an ideal choice for someone looking for a simple, reliable solution for an easy set and forget home nas
Pros
The GUI of the software is excellent
Functionality is very good
Very reliable and easy to use
Range of applications available that can be installed very easily (plex etc)
Cons
The cost of synology systems are very expensive, for a technical user it's hard to justify the high price tag when something similar can be achieved by creating your own home server
