Testimonials

An employees hard drive was no longer being detected by the BIOS and they had not backed up anything to the network for 6 months. We sent it to Tecleo Data Recovery for priority service. We were very happy that 100% of our information was recovered intact, and their rates were very reasonable compared to other data recovery labs contacted."

I had sent in my external drive to another company to attempt to restore lost data, but they were unsuccessful. In desperation, I decided to try one more time. I sent my external drive to Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab, via courier and they returned it to me free of charge. They kept me in the loop throughout the entire process, in a courteous, friendly, kind and professional manner. I am truly grateful that they were able to assist me and would recommend their services to anyone. Thank you once again."

The laptop drive of one of our senior Executives failed after his laptop fell to its death and the most recent backups of his data had failed. I Googled data recovery experts and gave Tecleo a try. We are so impressed that all data, including .PST's were able to be recovered. Years of data and old email correspondence cannot have a price put on it. The service was incredibly efficient and of an excellent quality. Hopefully we won't have the need again, but should we ever need data recovered off of a HDD again, I know where we'll be going."

Ek het vandag my hardeskyf van julle ontvang, en wil graag baie dankie sê vir jul uitstekende diens. Nie net is al die data wat ek nodig gehad het beskikbaar nie, julle het ook die hele transaksie in minder as 'n week afgehandel - meer as twee weke vinniger as wat ek gekwoteer is. Boonop was jul kwotasie van meet af tot 3 maal goedkoper as wat ek deur ander maatskappye gekwoteer is.

Testimonials

I own a pharmacy in a small suburb in Chatsworth, Durban. The pharmacy over many years, has gained approximately 13 000 patients profiles and has done over 125 000 scripts. I thought having 2 back-ups and various power surge protectors, nothing could affect me – how wrong I was. In a matter of seconds my life I thought was over, as I lost almost 2 decades of patient & account information in a nano second. It was discovered that a high power surge through my computer had destroyed my hard-drive and both the back-ups. I approached my computer software company and they told me my data was lost forever, every other pharmacy that had this problem had zero success of recovery and if anything was recovered at all, it was useless or corrupted. In approximately 24 hours Tecleo changed that statistic forever. Not only did Tecleo recover 100% of my data, but also none of my files or information was damaged or corrupted. The computer software company was left speechless. The attitude of the two technicians roused displayed confidence & mature professionalism. They calmly assessed the three hard drives sent to them, always updating me, via-mail, so I could make an informed decision about what data must be extracted. Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab expediently recovered the data from my hard-drives and transferred it on to 2 CD’s which was soon safely sent via courier in a convenient wrapping. This experience was unforgettable, as they turned a nightmare into pure utopia & bliss. As a health professional and somewhat of a computer fundi I cannot commend Tecleo anymore but to say, you guys have set a standard that surpasses simple data recovery.
Thank you."

Truly a pleasure working with a company that's dedicated to the craft of data recovery. With crucial data at stake, it’s a daunting task discerning the right place that would be able to do the essential, retrieve as much data as possible. With a 100% recovery, we are very pleased by the more than capable hands we chose."
Riaan Stoman
Testimonials

Great stuff. They do exactly what they say they will. Fast, efficient and accurate. It would be great if they had some slower-to-process rates for private clients that are more affordable (for one's family pictures?), but perhaps this is not economically viable. Either way; well done and I can safely recommend them. Don't hesitate to send your drive. It is in good hands."

Being an old and satisfied client of Tecleo for a number of years already, it was a no-brainer to task them with the recovery of data for one of my clients, as well as for myself.

Testimonials

I am the proud owner of a production company called Twenty Five Frames Productions. We deal with a lot of different types of projects that range in size and budget. We are very understanding towards the clients needs and what they can afford, so when complications occur and the price begins to exceed the budget, we try our best to help the customer and keep prices as low as we can. This is where Tecleo has similar interests at heart. They were the only data recovery facility that was understanding towards the situation we were in, when one of our drives bombed out on us. They managed to help us and provide the best rate out there.
Thanks to Tecleo, we have a better chance to stay within budget and recover valuable files in a reasonable time frame."

I have done business with Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab in the past and was very happy with their service and standards.

Testimonials

Tecleo is a professional, trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable data recovery company. Initially they informed me that they might be able to recover 80% of data and that it takes time to recover lost data. Tecleo recovered 100% of my data. I was overjoyed. The cost to recover the data was irrelevant as I was prepared to pay far more than what I was charged by Tecleo. I will recommend Tecleo to any company or person that is in need of serious data recovery. I wouldn't waste my time ever again with promises from another company or person that data can be recovered at a lower or cheaper price. "School fees" were paid! A dedicated, motivated and professionally qualified team is at work at Tecleo. Thank you so very much."

Fantastic service. I wholeheartedly recommend these guys to everyone. I was a bit worried about sending my hard drive to them for recovery from Botswana to South Africa. The process of creating a commercial tax invoice was the most worrying. I have had bad experiences in the past with things getting stuck at customs and then customs charging me large amounts of money. Martin and Henk helped me through the process and it was completely painless. Their email communication is prompt and they are happy to help with any questions or issues you may have. They have a variety of payment methods which you can use, the most convenient for me being Paypal, and stopped me having to pay excessive bank charges. Most importantly they rescued all my data!! Couldn't be happier! And they got it done in 3 days on the standard service! Thanks Again!"

My external hard drive became noisy, and then at once became unable to mount. With hindsight, I could have acted on the slightly increased vibration from the drive before it failed. Tecleo recovered the majority of the files on my drive, which were family photos of sentimental value to us. It must have been a very tedious job, as it took much longer than expected. Tecleo along the way communicated professionally with us. Despite it taking much longer, they stood by their initial cost estimate."

Testimonials

I am a PhD student on a very tight time schedule. Losing my data at a critical time this year by accidentally dropping my external hard drive was traumatic for me. Especially as I hadn't backed up the last few months of detailed data analysis work. But being a student means I am on a tight budget too. Tecleo were able to turn this situation around. They gave me hope and a solution. Martin was full of technical knowledge and so professional to deal with. Henk was brilliant in reviewing the final costs and charging me only for the amount of data recovered. That is a huge concession to a student. It is good old-fashioned customer service like this, that make them stand head and shoulders above other companies. It is this combination of technical expertise, individual tailoring and fair treatment that will keep me a loyal customer of theirs. You get a well-deserved 5 stars from me and keep up the good service!"
