I've been using it for about 10 years, it's very good for home and office use.
I store photos, videos, documents and have convenient access to them via the Internet via a mobile phone.
I run any programs in Docker, host my websites, and also use an external VPN for access from the Internet.
For hardware I use a currently old ddr3 computer, a couple of hard drives and a third drive for an ssd system.
User-friendly interface and friendly to novice users.
During use there have been no unpleasant moments or equipment failures.
With each update, the system becomes more convenient and invaluable functionality is added (photoprism, filemanager, downloader yotube, torrent).
Very friendly community on the forum.
Without knowing it, I learned Linux.

I like to use Linux as my NAS base OS. This is a great distro for that. Very stable (which is no surprise because it's based on stable Debian) and easy to manage via the WebUI. I almost never have to go into CLI. I've been using since version 4.0 with no issues and have always been able to upgrade to latest version.
I have fewer permissions issues with OpenMediaVault than other solutions; this is probably because I am more familiar with Linux than BSD. Supports many file systems including ZFS via the community plugin. I find mdadm more flexible when I need to expand my arrays. I also like that it supports MergerFS and SnapRAID when you don't need a true RAID pool and just want to toss a bunch of random disks together.
If you want a very stable NAS distro that is based on Linux, I highly recommend this distro.

Awesome anyway you look at it.
I just upgraded from 5x to 6x.
A note that mite help others:
1. Upgrade via CLI.
2. #export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
3. #omv-release-upgrade
4. #systemctl reboot
Cons, I guess some of the menu options are confusing took me a while to figure out how to properly add SSH keys for the users using the web-interface after some trial and error I figured it out but still had to hit up google, that's about to really everything else was straightforward, for me anyway.

Solid, stable, powerfull NAS system. Upgrade from OMV5 to OMV6 is possible and easy working.
I like this small system for my docker containers and nas disks.
Thank you for this wonderfull system.

Rock solid. Reboots only when power goes down. Running it as iSCSI target only. Wonderful setup. Version 4 dropped the support for the iSCSI plugin. It's back for version 5. One day I'll collect all my bravery and upgrade.

Didn't like it as it wasn't robust. UI could easily fail applying settings. Besides, that was this "OK to apply" confirmation sort of thing we all know from poor routers.
Lot of extras were being removed from the UI ("use Docker"), making me think what's left there.
No idiot proof either. At one point, i've removed samba package and it removed most of the distro.
Nowhere near TrueNAS or even better: Xpenology.

Raspberry Pi 4 running OMV4 for almost a year without issue. Then upgraded to OMV5, running since late 2019 till now, never rebooted even once.
Highly recommended.
