Synology Office Suite Pros and Cons

The seamless integration of Synology Office Suite with our Synology NAS is the best feature for me because it give the team the complete control, security and privacy over our data, which is very vital for the team. The real-time collaboration allows our team members in editing the documents simultaneously without lags or delays.

The combination of its features which gives security, performance, and teamwork makes it a top choice for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Synology Office Suite is the mobile experience which feels less polished compared to the desktop version. Though it gets the job done, the interface could be more intuitive. Some features don’t translate as seamlessly to smaller screens.The suite occasionally lacks some advanced formatting or functionality found in other mainstream office tools, which can be limiting for more complex tasks.

It's very easy to use. When I set up my NAS, it was the first application I used. I can easily access my files and share them with other cross-devices just like the general cloud storage. Also, it provides online documents like doc, sheet, and slide which work like Microsoft ones and it's integrative.

The most important thing is that it's no license required! I can build up my own cloud based on the capacity I need.

The model I use is DS224+ which I highly recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features of the slide and sheet are not powerful like Microsoft one. However, It's ok for my daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
