Na skade aangerig weens oorspanning - verkeerde kragbron ingeprop - kon Tecleo die skyf binne twee dae herstel tot weer in werkende toestand. Waaroor my dogter baie dankbaar is aangesien baie van haar data as gevolg van die fout wat sy gemaak het verlore sou wees sonder die herstel. Baie dankie Tecleo, en Corrie Theron van Tecleo."

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!"

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. I had many extremely important files which I just couldn't lose, and just when I gave up hope. I contacted the CSIR, who advised me that "TecLeo" is the best in the business. "If they can't restore your data, no one can." Contacting them I experienced great service and because I am a private user, they gave me a decent price. Within no time I was quoted and set for the recovery. Thanks a million.

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!"

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.

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.

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!"

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."

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!"

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."

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."

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."
