Considered Both Products	iXsystems Jorge Arturo Asesor de tecnología de la información in Customer Service at Sistemas Contino (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose TrueNAS the features installed on the other providers solutions, TrueNAS allow just install only the featured do you need and not others you don't like or you don't need. The isolate runtime space give for plugins jail make TrueNAS a really modular NAS solution over the other … Incentivized Helpful? Sean Gordon Director of IT Operations in Information Technology at Western Seminary (Higher Education, 51-200 employees) Chose TrueNAS Flexibility in Storage, configuration, and ability to scale the solution as needed. The GUI is straight forward. Finding help in the forums is also on point. Great community and support that you don't find with other products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose TrueNAS 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. Incentivized Helpful? Jeff Cox IT Support Specialist in Information Technology at GTG Peterbilt (Transportation/Trucking/Railroad, 201-500 employees) Chose TrueNAS Older model Diskstations don't have this issue but after a certain point, Diskstations will only operate without errors if you use Diskstations overpriced disks in the bays. Incentivized Helpful? Dejan Tunjic Mr. in Information Technology at Avant IT (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose TrueNAS Synology and QNAP both felt to basic after trying TrueNAS, while NetApp and Fujitsu where both expensive and I wasn't convinced we would A utilize or need all the features and furthermore all the things we where going to use seemed to be something that TrueNAS simply did better. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose TrueNAS TrueNAS provides a very competitively priced option. TrueNAS is an all-in-one solution providing not only storage but services to access the storage from multiple platforms and protocols. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose TrueNAS FreeNAS is great system for a secure NAS facility, TrueNAS adds a lot of feature that outperform it's cousin if you are interested in containerization and in scalability too. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Juffs Chief Software Architect in Information Technology at Heritage Digital (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose TrueNAS Server 2022 was familiar and up to the task, using built-in features. However, the extra bloat and features weren't necessary—and they led to the ransomware attack. TrueNAS is focused on Storage and plays well with other operating systems and servers. Incentivized Helpful? Dustin Sallings in Engineering at spy internetworking (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose TrueNAS Having a better, trusted filesystem to build upon makes a huge difference. I want to know that if something I've written is read, it was the thing I wrote. And if it can't be read, I want to know that soon and know how to repair it. Incentivized Helpful? Robert Mizen IT & Networking Professor in Professional Services at Polhemsskolan (Government Administration, 501-1000 employees) Chose TrueNAS I like all three for different reasons. But TrueNAS fits the FOSS criteria perfectly, obviously. QNAP and Synology operate differently and fit different clients and/or different builds, and have a corporate entity supporting them. We have all 3, and TrueNAS likes friends. I … Incentivized Helpful? Peter Johnston Security Architect in Information Technology at 9099018 Canada Inc. (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose TrueNAS Much cheaper solutions available for small business.

Other NAS vendors just don't do the software side as well in my … Incentivized Helpful? Rob Anderson System Administrator in Information Technology at Lee's Sheet Metal (Construction, 51-200 employees) Chose TrueNAS The support with TrueNAS is where it really shines. You can get support that if you purchase hard drives from them, they send replacements as soon as one fails. Automatically. If you have nodes in your server they will do the same. They also do advanced replacement, you … Incentivized Helpful?

Greg Baughman Owner at GregBaughman.com (Music, 1-10 employees) Chose TrueNAS I chose TrueNAS (upgrading from FreeNAS) because of the small footprint, ease of use, and reliability of the ZFS file system. The file sharing protocols supported as well as the intuitive interface all make TrueNAS a great choice for business and hobbyists alike. Incentivized Helpful? Brett Rutherford Owner/Operator in Information Technology at Transphasic Networks (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose TrueNAS Unfortunately, I have to give the edge to Pure and Nimble simply due to the availability of enterprise-grade hot-swappable redundant power supply units - as much as I love the TrueNAS hardware solution until that particular annoyance is addressed, I can't really consider these … Incentivized Helpful? Jeremy Broxterman Worship Pastor \| Global Technical Director in Information Technology at Liberty Church Inc (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose TrueNAS Our TrueNAS server came with much more performance for the price, and a great community for support.

Mark Hagan CKO in Corporate at SolarKnerds (Oil & Energy, 1-10 employees) Chose TrueNAS The ReadyNAS filled the bill for many years, but we had reached the limit of its expandability. The TRUENAS solution has been speedier and more reliable. Because we used old hardware it costs virtually nothing to get it up and running. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose TrueNAS TrueNAS lacks some of the polish of these systems, but the cost to build a system much more powerful (CPU, RAM, network interfaces) than a Synology or QNAP appliance is remarkably lower. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose TrueNAS Synology - very user friendly setup and admin - extremely easy to manage storage sharing - slower iSCSI protocol TrueNAS - stepper learning curve for setup and admin - much more complex and error prune file sharing - more capable HW (CPU speed, 10gbe) - storage protocols are … Incentivized Helpful? sandra roberts Human Resources Recruiter in Human Resources at Walmart (Retail, 10,001+ employees) Chose TrueNAS When comparing prices and features with other software we found that TrueNas was offering an affordable price and more unique features.
