Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have both the Synology and QNAP NAS. I used them for work & home. Ranging models from the Syn DS109, DS411j, & DS1010+; for QNAP model's I have TS-259 & TS-459U. If you need to know the specs, go to their Web sites and do some comparison.
This review is to compare their features. Feel free to comment, if I missed something.
Advantage QNAP, for encrypted file-system. Syn doesn't have this feature.
Advantage QNAP, for virtual disk support. Syn doesn't have this feature.
Advantage QNAP, for SSH/FTP option for root. Syn you will have to mod.
Advantage QNAP, for NIC teaming, like balance-rr, active backup, balance xor, broadcast, dynamic link aggr., balance-tlb, & balance-alb. Syn only have 802.3ad & non-802.3ad.
Advantage QNAP, Web management homepage has RSS feed about latest firmware.
Advantage Syn, for Web management with multi-tasking.
Advantage Syn, for mobile support. QNAP deployed theirs, but not too long ago.
NFSv3 for both QNAP & Syn, what a bummer. I heard NFSv4 is on the works.
For pricing Syn has the upper hand. If you use NAS for your home and don't mind not having the features I listed, you can't go wrong with Synology.
QNAP seems to have the upper hand on features and hardware specs on their product line. Supporting VMware and Citrix as a NAS, out of the box. They are both good and the Buffalo, Netgear, Linksys, & Seagate NAS has been left behind.
BTW: This QNAP TS-459U already comes with rack rails for mounting. I give 4.5 stars on this product, deducting half a point for NFSv3.

The TS-459U-RP/ SP is equipped with the next-generation Intel Atom D510 1.66GHz Dual-Core processor delivering exceptionally high performance, yet with low power consumption for energy-saving commitment.
