Usability
Synology Active Backup Suite is easy to use, has great documentation, has video tutorials for a fast integration, it integrates well with Mac OS and Windows. You can have two different NAS machines backing up each other and keeping duplications in separate physical places and with no outside access, just login in from each other.

Alternatives Considered
Synology is
a great and simple solution to backup physical or virtual infrastructure, it
does what it provides very well.

It’s
lacking a lot of advanced features from the more established solutions on the
market such as Veeam but if budget is an issue you can’t beat the cost and an
all in one solution that can back up your on prem infrastructure and your
Microsoft 365 tenant as well.
