FreeNAS Valuable Features

Vincenzo D'Aniello - PeerSpot reviewer
Software developer at TREXON S.R.L.

As already mentioned, 'jails' is the most appreciated feature, however, it's not the only one.

Disk management is equally appreciated. The fact that you can dynamically detach and attach larger disks as needed, and simply swap them out, is great.

Another important utility we found was task synchronization. We needed to transfer a jail image from one server to another, and thanks to this utility it was very simple.

Equally useful is the management of virtual machines, and integrated services such as SMB, S3, etc.

FreeNAS is much simpler and easier to use than other solutions, but we don't have the complete range of features that come with the full version.

The fact that no data are lost when a hard drive fails. I have had two of five drives fail at one time, and no data were lost.
