TrueNAS Enterprise Likes & Dislikes

For my team, the simplicity of management of the platform, the interface and system design are intuitive. Day-to-day administration does not require excessive overhead. The platform is also very flexible, it has adapted to all our workloads from simple SMB shares, to complex virtual stores and high performance surveillance storage. These features for the cost are fantastic and difficult to beat.

Fast learning curve. Easy to manage and setup. Easy to create Datasets and ZVOLs. Enterprise features without additional licenses. ZFS Replication, compression, encryption, unlimited snapshots, protection against ransomware, all top-notch features are included.

I love that it does not require any licensing to do its tasks. Support is great and fast. Very helpful.

When making large purchases it can be difficult to suggest iXsystems TrueNAS when there is the larger push for name recognition like Isilon or 3PAR, that difficulty in securing funds when organizaitons expect the more well known (and far, far more expensive) 'brand names' while not a determent to iXsystems is the only dislike I have.

I wish they would include the 25GbE SFP28 cables and transceivers with the purchase or at least DAC cables to connect the storage system to our network switch. Same goes for Cat6 cables for 10GbE RJ-45. Would have been a nice touch.

The delivery time should be faster. I wish I had it sooner to get things done faster. I hope their supply chain improves response times. Also, support is only in English, maybe they could have it in Spanish as well.

TrueNAS Storage True Data Freedom

TrueNAS is an outstanding storage platform. I am a big ZFS fan now. I use ZFS Replication to backup my datasets and zvol to a secondary TrueNAS on our secondary site. 3-2-1 backups have never been this easy to implement.

Great for legacy system replacement!

Feb 3, 2026

TrueNAS Enterprise has been great, we deal with a lot of legacy systems, dating back to the Sun Microsystems days, so an affordable vendor-supported option that works with existing open-source solutions like OpenZFS, NFS, CIFS is ideal
