Overall Satisfaction with TrueNAS

TrueNAS is our primary storage appliance for all virtual machines in our data center. It has replaced all production storage in our organization, including All Flash and Hybrid storage. TrueNAS has allowed us to have a significant level of flexibility when it comes to purchasing storage. We no longer have to buy in weird bundles or stick to strange licensing agreements for hardware we own.
  • Blazing Fast Storage
  • Exceptional Support
  • Flexible purchasing options
  • Flexible configuration options
  • Veeam Storage Integration
  • More reporting/logging integrated
  • Flexibility in storage expansion
  • Cost
  • Excellent support
  • TrueNAS has allowed me to reduce calculation time on all of our BI applications
  • Allowed us to replace a full rack of storage with one appliance and expansion array.
  • Eliminated our reliance on support for an EOL product from HPE.
We purchased StoreVirtual appliances 6 months before they announced end of life - we were unable to expand our volumes due to product availability. We used this opportunity to look at different vendors since we needed to configure a new product anyway. Not only did TrueNAS match the performance offered by Pure Storage and Nimble, it did it at a fraction of the cost. We had concerns over using a relatively unknown (to us) product but decided it was worth the risk. The level of support I have received from TrueNAS is beyond what I have received from any other vendor. 24 hours support. Experts available to assist, not only with support issues, but with analysis of logs and configuration changes.

TrueNAS completely changed how I purchase storage, it will be difficult for me to recommend a different vendor in the future. TrueNAS allows you to purchase storage however you want and will assist you with creating the right type of ZFS configuration for your environment. ZFS is flexible and allows you to add storage in large bundles or one drive at a time. You can mix storage types and sizes in your pool based on what your needs are. This is the perfect storage solution for small to mid sized data centers.
