I used to work for Synology so I got an employee discount. You’re paying for the software and support when you buy the NAS. Try C2 for cloud storage or just use glacier backup if you’re trying to save money.
Obviously, it’s just kinda funny how many weirdos will hear about the company and immediately say “yeah well I can do it myself for cheaper!” and I’m like “ok cool have fun spending hours on that while I play video games”
My synology NAS at home
How are you handling off site backup? I use Backblaze, but my first line of backup is a Synology at a family members house.

Heaven forbid
I think it’s worth it in this case. Synology platform (as you must know) is far more than a storage solution and basically runs my entire home.
Can I get free versions of all of the tools included in DiskStation? Of course. Will I? Heck no

Yeah have really considered this recently. Would prefer it for the sake of total control.
