ZFS pool is great for our usage and the capabilities of creating docker within TrueNAS is a plus > > **Cons**: Can be hard to understand how TrueNAS works at the beginning. You have to prepare yourself before starring with it ----- ### "Tried, true, and tested by the community\! TrueNAS CORE\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ajay** | *9 September 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I also have nothing bad to say about TrueNAS CORE. As a community-driven, FOSS, ZFS supporting storage and backup solution (though RAID is not a backup), iXsystems has done a great job in educating me in the ways of NAS/SAN solutions and boy do I appreciate them for it\! TrueNAS is great tool for redundancy for when I accidentally mess something up in the development environment, I have a system I can rely on to restore my mismanaged files. It has actually helped me while getting hacked as I took it offline to prevent any further damage to my data. My scope is fairly limited, as I am expanding my network for future scalability. I am directly addressing the business problem of needing a backup solution (though NAS/SAN are not necessarily backup solutions) while expanding my storage capabilities. The proprietary setup used by Unraid was also another barrier to my entry, as I prefered to support, the newly established TrueNAS philosophy of FOSS. ----- ### "TrueNAS Core, truly a great place to start your companies storage." — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *5 August 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to use, the software is free. You can set it up on many different types of hardware. It does not use / require an actual raid cared. the ZFS file system is amazing and fast / pact with features. You can run VM's on this software provided you have the RAM / Storage. It runs plugins that behave like docker apps like GUAC. One of the most important features for me was the availability of a DARK MODE. Your eyes will thank you so much. > > **Cons**: The networking setup if not using DHCP was a bit finicky but not difficult. You have to wrap your head around the fact that it does not use a RAID card. Do NOT use RAID for this software. The software manages all of that directly. Make sure you have a good UPS and you'll be golden. > > It helped me in using an old server at work to make a new datastore and NFS archive. I was able to move everything to it as we replaced our old synology server. This made it so that our users didn't even realize I was doing this in the middle of the day. This also saved our company alot of money on overtime. ----- ### "I just wrote this because they made me" — 3.0/5 > **Jesus** | *3 August 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I didn't like it. While it had all the features I needed I ran into many many hardware compatibility issues. Such as network cards not being detected. > > **Cons**: Bad hardware compatibility and I need 40 characters. > > negative ----- ### "BSD storage made simple" — 4.0/5 > **Henrik** | *22 September 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The fact that TRUENAS uses ZFS as a base filesytems means that it includes a lot of great features out of the box > > **Cons**: Being based on BSD means a lot of great things but unfortunately two major downsides: 1: the ecosystem is somewhat than for example Linux, meaning That there may not always be a convenient way to install the application you need BSD is also stingy when it comes to hardware comptibility, meaning that you might have to do some research if you want to make sure your hardware is supported > > My overall experience with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has been rock solid and I’ve been looking forward to trying it out even more powerful hardware to further explore its potential ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1014208/truenas-core?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1014208/truenas-core) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
