User Reviews

Synology Active Insight offers basic NAS health alerts and a clean, centralized overview, but users report a limited feature set that hinders real-time monitoring and management, reliability issues with login/browser access, licensing limits, and missing data within the app. Event details require the web portal, reducing usefulness for deeper diagnostics.

Pros

Provides useful alerts and monitoring for NAS health (shutdowns, power failures, disk/memory issues).
Clean, intuitive interfaces that are easy to navigate.
Consolidates information in one handy app / centralized overview.
Simple to use and generally reliable for basic monitoring.

Cons

Limited functionality: cannot install/update DSM from the app; real-time monitoring is lacking; you can't manage the system from the app and must use the web portal for details.
Reliability issues with login/browser: sign-in failures, browser dependencies, and sometimes the app stops working after updates.
Free plan limits and licensing: limited number of NAS devices and paywall for advanced monitoring.
Missing key data in-app: no CPU usage (post-DSM 7.2), no DSM version or installed packages shown.
Event details are not readable in-app; you must open the web portal for full event information.

Recent reviews

there are paid alternatives that offer more, and there are even free alternatives that also offer more and in my experience are less buggy.

best company . everything is pro. you buy and get all these amazing apps and its just great. especially in a time when subscriptions are killing everyone's pockets. good job Synology. I sold my DS224+ 8TSSD with the 4G RAM upgrade at a 900 loss only having it a year but still reccomend this product. im getting one that is more user friendly.
