I was given a QNAP as part of a project (We had no say in what was purchased, sadly), and I don't have any problems with it. I backup 15 OS disks to it with no issue.
The OS is fine. It's the support that was always the problem.

The interface works, and isn't terribly hard to figure out. I mean we're using it as a backup target. It hasn't been terrible for tha
Jurassic Park Effect. That the interface is nice doesn't tell us if it is "good" in any way.

Never needed their support, so if I do, I'll report back my findings.

That's the thing about appliances, their value is determined by something you can't verify until something goes wrong.

About to head home. Thing learned today: in Azure, there's apparently no console-level access for a Windows VM.

I’ll look for it tomorrow, for I agree it’s odd.

Really? I think the odd part is expecting it. AWS never did this, Azure has never done this. This is the expectation of cloud platforms, it's the de facto way and has been since day one.
We specifically refer to Vultr, Digital Ocean, and Linode as VPS on Cloud because it is the VPS nature of their products that gives us a console, and they use a cloud to do it.
That's a key reason that we always point out that AWS and Azure are generally inappropriate for the small and medium business market, their are built completely around the expectation of large scale, "never log in" management. Which is great, in general, but essentially impossible for an average SMB to even wrap their head around.
