I have to admit, I was very skeptical about Tecleo being able to recover the data of a damaged Bitlocked external hard drive. I am an IT professional and know a few recovery tools of the trade but none worked. Tecleo recovered all of the data in the time frame specified. The service was very friendly and very professional. Great Job guys! I will definitely recommend you as the company of choice when it comes to data recovery. Thanks."

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."

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."

BAIE GOEIE NUUS - Mariana se hardeskyf wat begin Mei gecrash het is uiteindelik recover. Al die fotos is gered! Ons het 8 Mei die hardeskyf ingegee by Intratec in Midrand. Op 15 Julie het hulle ons laat weet dat hulle uiteindelik opgee en dat hulle geen sukses gehad het met die herwinning van die data nie. In al hierdie weke se wag het hulle ons ingelig dat hulle 2 keer moes parte aan die hardeskyf vervang. Ons het Donderdag 16 Julie die hardeskyf by Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab in Centurion ingegee. Met die eerste oogopslag het hulle gesê dat Intratec nooit eens die hardeskyf oop gemaak het nie. Die seëls van die hardeskyf van nog heel. Net 1 week later was die job gedoen - suksesvol !! Waar die eerste maatskappy in 10 weke niks kon reg kry nie. Ek beveel met vrymoedigheid Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab in Centurion aan vir enige Data Herwinning hetsy rekenaar, selfoon, memory kaarte. Hierdie maatskappy weet wat hulle doen."

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!"

I had a pleasant experience with Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab. They were very friendly and could manage to save most of my data from my HDD. They were very efficient in sending the quotes and invoices; always ready to reply to any queries that I had throughout the process. I would suggest that they keep the client updated as to where in the data recovery process they are: eg. started working on the HDD; finished with the HDD. Upon collection of the HDD just a synopsis as to why the HDD may have failed if it was an electro-mechanical failure. Thank you Tecleo for your help!"

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."

I run regular backups and when my HDD started giving problems recently I was not too concerned. Simply replace the HDD, restore the backup and off we go… If only it was that simple. Whilst trying to restore my backup, I learnt with great shock and disbelief that the virtual machine on my Mac did not back up properly. I started panicking as the majority of data resided on the virtual machine and no matter what I tried, I simply could not gain access to vital directories and files. It was with great relief that I came across the Tecleo team, not only did they provide a friendly and efficient service, they also recovered all of my data. Thanks for a professional and efficient service, much appreciated!"

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!"
