ZFS snapshots have negligible impact on performance. More than 2 snapshots on LVM and disk access becomes unusable, however I've had up to 10 ZFS snapshots and could not see any performance degradation.

An incredible file system that can take snapshots of itself almost instantly. Compare this to copying to another file system with RSYNC to get the same effect. This in itself has made it my NAS of choice! The best feature of FreeNAS is ZFS. An incredible file system that can take snapshots of itself almost instantly.

Default is http, but you can switch to https in FreeNAs too. “For FreeNAS, the browser admin access is via plain-text (http).”
Default is http, but you can switch to https in FreeNAs too.

On Openfiler(V2.3), we can creat several iSCSI targets, and set different space for each one. On FreeNAS(V0.69 Stable), usually only one iSCSI target can be created.

There is however a small error in your analysis, FreeNAS can also act as an iSCSI target and as such is just as capable to act as a SAN (Storage Area Network) server. You can learn more about FreeNAS at http://www.freenas.org or http://www.learnfreenas.com. Thanks, Gary Thanks for this good side by side comparison of FreeNAS and OpenFiler.
