The solution's initial setup process is straightforward. Building a system on the same hard drive can be complex. It is better to implement it on a separate device. Also, it takes a few minutes to complete the process. Although, it depends on the number of hard drives you want to check and configure. It is essential to test the features after installation is completed.

The initial set setup was quite easy. One thing that I couldn't get set up properly or didn't work properly, was when I tried to use the cloud or something like that on it. I found that a little bit confusing. However, most of it was pretty straightforward to do the setup.

I just followed the wizard to start with and it probably only took me a few hours to fully deploy the product.

Setting up FreeNAS wasn't easy initially, but we have been working on the product for years, so we understand it better now. We have three people working with FreeNAS.

The initial setup was quite complicated, but I had excellent support from IX Systems, even though I was using the free software

It's easy to install. You download the program, and click through the wizard which - very simple. At the end, you just browse the IP and configure your storage the way you want to.
