In most cases, they are synonymous.
But usually wystarczająco (Adverb) corresponds:
sufficiently and enough
And dość (Adverb or Noun) enough, quite and pretty
The nuances of their use can be found at:

Dość or dosyć may be used in the negative context of "I've got enough = I'm fed up" - "mam tego dość, mam tego dosyć!"

Wystarczająco always has a positive context, and is used with another adjective or adverb: "wystarczająco dobry", "wystarczająco ładna". 

There are some nuances in the use with adjectives:

dość bogaty  = quite rich (which may actually be an understatement)

wystarczająco bogaty = rich enough (e.g. to buy a Tesla Roadster) 

dość chory = quite ill

wystarczająco chory = ill enough (e.g. to have to go to hospital)

Hope that helps :-)
