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. In current times when good dependable service is hard to come by, it is good to have people like Tecleo who will go the extra mile to recover lost data."
Jan Muller
Testimonials

Tecleo are the best at what they do. They certainly over delivered in my case. All my data was recovered within a period of less than 7 days and I was kept informed of their progress all the way to the end of the recovery process where, to my pleasant surprise, every piece of data had been recovered and the integrity tested. Big ups guys!!! Thanks a stack."

Testimonials

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!"

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."

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!"

The disc clutch mechanism (reading heads) on my son's hard drive failed. He was so upset realizing that he had lost all his photos and videos from his GAP year spent in Canada, memories of a fantastic year which included skiing videos taken by a professional photographer.
I contacted a technical support technician who could not help but referred me to Tecleo Data Recovery. As soon as they received the hard drive they emailed me a job card and a quote explaining what the problem was... I can highly recommend their services; their customer support is excellent and their service very professional and competent."

Testimonials

I have a NAS device with 6 drives that is on a network where all our work finally sits. After a years work of Video production (close to 17TB), I replaced the Drives with fresh new drives for the new years worth of work and kept the old drives as back-up to be used whenever we might need those files. The NAS continued to work fine until 2 months later when I put the old set of drives back to access the old data. To my horror, none of the drives where readable anymore - they showed up as having data - just that the NAS could not read it! The NAS could see only the new drives if fitted back but not all my old work. No joy at all was received from the manufacturer in decoding the info to be read by our computers. We realised only too late that the NAS worked like that - once reconfigured, it could not see the old stuff. I am very thankful to come across a company like TECLEO who not only saved the day by decoding and safely transferring all the data onto readable new drives but in such an efficient and cost saving way. They kept us timeously informed of progress and most importantly, kept to the agreed price despite the laboriously long job. I will definitely recommend this company that stands out among the rest because of their principles and not being driven by greed as is so commonplace nowadays."

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."

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."

Being a musician/producer/gamer and an avid user of my computer, I have put my PC to the test one time too many. I lost my hard-drive to old age & over-use.

Within no time I was quoted and set for the recovery. Thanks a million.
