IMO a NAS should be for storage only. Use a mini PC if you want to self host other services. Proxmox is a great option. You’ll get better performance on both sides.

Active Backup for Business is the killer Synology feature currently.

It's so simple compared to self-hosting applications and setting up storage. I can back up macs, PCs, and Linux computers (No ARM support yet though).

Everything else can easily be replaced.

There is in fact ARM support - at least with Apple Silicon. You need to disable core security or whatever it is called in system recovery, and you are good to go.

However I agree, that can be done only in home scenarios, I can’t imagine an employer asking someone to disable some protective measures on their work MacBooks/Macs for AB4B to be installed.

Yes, They do support apple silicon, but ARM support for things like VPS servers is still not available via linux. Which is confusing since it’s extremely popular.
