Overall Satisfaction with TrueNAS

I have run TrueNAS Core on small desktops to enterprise servers, in a home environment to an enterprise datacenter. Obviously better performance on the enterprise hardware, but even the small desktop deployments weren't slow.
  • Runs on anything
  • Reliable on reliable hardware
  • Lots of ways to connect
  • Maybe too steep of a learning curve for Joe User
  • UI not as slick as Synology yet
  • No tiering storage levels yet (hot, cold tiers)
  • "Free" is very attractive
  • Support is available
  • JBOD approach is budget-friendly

The expandability through jails is a really nice feature, to be able to add on Plex, Nextcloud, etc. with just a few clicks is very attractive.
