Qnap had a lot of security issues in the past, like unpatched RCE and backdoors. I wouldn't recommend, (and never ever use qnap cloud or upnp) as it seems they don't really do a good job on software QA or penetration testing or security audits.

Hardware is fine but it's much more expensive than just building it yourself.

QNAp takes the ‘just ship it’ approach. They have a lot of functionality, but it’s clear if you deal with their software much that it was a rush job. Lots of random breakages, bugs, stability issues, etc.

You’re wise to not trust it with anything important.

Some of their hardware is tough to do yourself. e.g. I've got a TL-D800S hooked up to my home server. I know I could build something comparable, but once hardware involves actual "building" rather than just "assembly", it's past the level of effort I want to spend.
