User Reviews: Synology Active Insight

Top reviews

  • Server errors

    Doesn’t work.
  • No graph is shown

    Always says "upgrade active insight package to 2.0.0-2500 or above on the host to display this information" but it's already up to date.
  • Why not just use the browser?

    What’s the value of the app? To open the active insight web portal in built-in browser? Thanks, any other browser could do that. Totally useless.
  • Works Great For Me

    I don’t use it in a capacity where I have to pay however for my few devices it works perfect and exactly as expected.

    Notifications don’t produce any false positives and has been handy in letting me know the times things have gone wrong or the powers gone out on the unit not attached to a UPS.
  • 有更新也不會通知

    爛死了,不知道裝來幹嘛的。
  • Wish could have package update notification

  • Lots of False Positives - needs work

    Now that Synology is charging for using this app, there is absolutely no excuse for it to continue generating numerous false positives. Every time one comes in the user needs to check and see if everything is OK. It is a tremendous waste of time.

    The app has serious potential, but lack of attention to these continuing bugs reduces its value, regardless of how many units you were watching over. In fact, it makes it even harder to justify paying for the service.

    If you were interested in it, I strongly recommend going with the free version with one device for a period of time to see if it fits your needs.
  • Nice graphs

    I like the long term graphs of system performance, etc.

    For those having problems logging in, make sure you are logging in with your synology.com credentials and NOT your NAS credentials.
  • Simple but does the job.

    Simple NAS monitoring tool if you are away from a big screen.
    Runs well on DS720+ and such under the DSM 7.0.x.
  • Can’t delete old NAS

    I upgraded my NAS from a DS220 to a DS920 and it won’t find the new NAS and I can’t delete the old one…. Will be deleting this app quickly.
