Overall Satisfaction with TrueNAS
It is the canonical source for all our data in our network. This solution has been a solid solution that we have used for over 10 years. It was straight forward to implement. The most challenging task was to plan the pools and grouping of disks in those pools. I have no need to look for another solution as this provides sufficiently for our current needs.
- web GUI or CLI for administration
- provides for Linux, Windows, Mac client interoperability
- easy basic deployment
- web GUI in managing ZFS. You wind up on the CLI to administrate the devices and the pool.
- With Scale, it provides the capability with for clustering storage, though seems to be growing in maturity. Core does not provide that due to FreeBSD limitations. Given having to migrate to Scale, I look forward to having a solution in hand as the need for clustering becomes a need in the future.
- No ROI was measured as this was a solution that fit our organizational needs for a company starting out and architecturally, a technical solution that would grow with our business.
Netapp was too pricey, really a solution for mid to large businesses. Redhat Gluster just didn't fit for a business that was just starting - too administratively intensive as well.
