Overall Satisfaction with TrueNAS

I am just using it as a home server at the moment but am looking at helping the typical home user to set up and use it for server backup use as it's so simple to use. It basically solved all the issues with Windows file and folder share that never works with Windows.
  • It runs on a very low-power computer and is easy to set up and run.
  • Simple to use and set up.
  • Easy to add apps for other easy-to-use solutions in home.
  • Very easy to add more storage as well.
  • It was a little complicated updating Plex as it needs to be done manually.
  • It would be an improvement if the RAM use was less and automatic.
  • Server sharing files.
  • Plex server app.
  • Ease of sharing files.
  • All positive - I have 20 devices that can now share files easily.
  • It's a fast install - took only 1/2 hour to set up.
  • It's a very complex piece of software with so many features but easy to use from the start and learn about the other features later.
