Overall Satisfaction with TrueNAS

TrueNAS has brought its experience to storage technology. We used it in the past as a simple NAS system. But today we are planning on our project to use it as a SAN for all our servers. The flip-over was done because of its simplicity of management, the easiness to configure high availability, and the support excellence that is provided to us. We consider TrueNAS an indispensable partner for our daily business.

Pros

  • High Availability
  • Storage Management
  • Access Policy Management
  • Detailed Statistics of the Managed Storage

Cons

  • Integration with Hyper-V (if it already exists, I didn't found it)
  • A WHMCs module to connect with the API
  • File Change Backup (like do a backup of every file change)
  • ZFS file system
  • High Availability
  • Block file system
  • Budget Reduction on server's individual storage
  • Budget Reduction on storage alternatives to keep HA working
  • Budget Reduction on backup systems
User Friendly. High Availability. Centralized Backups with 3-2-1 schemas. Pricing

Would you buy TrueNAS again?

Yes

VMware vCenter Server, Hyper-V, Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)
TrueNAS is excellent for many many scenarios. Being used at home for your own personal storage or at the office for centralized storage for all servers. ZFS surely brings an edge turn into the future of what network storage file systems should be. Competitors should take a look at TrueNAS for a model.
