Which NAS is best for small businesses
Good day Experts,
I'm looking for a NAS device for small teams, was looking at Synology and QNAP. Owning a Synology NAS and read about it's ease of use and wide support to backup files to the cloud, I really like the device. But looking at QNAP features set, it looks more suiting for a business environment but research it's not as friendly as the Synology's.

Good day guys,
Two things I was looking at with QNAP is the ability to run VMS and the hardware option to attached a monitor, mouse and keyboard. It seems more flexible, but concern about how it would perform with having so many functions. I also like it's easier to upgrade the memory of QNAP devices which would be needed if you want to spin VMs. But is it really practical to have the option to run V.I and other services on a NAS?

While QNAP was way ahead in the business environment than Synology, both are quite similar in terms of features now.
Go with the one you are more comfortable with.
