What customers experienced with R3?
Every review below comes from a real customer who trusted R3 with their data. These stories reflect real challenges, real recoveries, and the work our engineers do every day.
Data Recovery have been amazing recovering all my files!! They have also been so professional from the first time I contacted them until the end of the process when I got all my files back!!! I strongly recommend them, they definitely know all about how to recover files from a faulty hard drive!!
R3 were not only very knowledgable about Data Recovery; they also had very good customer service, giving us regular updates about the progress and 'holding our hands' through what could have been a very stressful time for our business.
Fantastic service! E-mails were answered quickly and informatively, and the recovery team managed to get all of my data back for me in great time. I've learned my lesson about backing up my data but if anyone I know ever needs their data recovered, I'm absolutely going to send them this way.
One of the most expert professional, efficient, trustworthy and caring businesses I have ever experienced. Andy is calm and reassuring to help one deal with the panic of data loss. The successful and quick data recovery performed on my broken USB stick was a miraculous result!
My heart sank when my old 2GB flash drive 'died', knowing there was a lot of important and historical data on there. Advice from a family friend led me to R3 and I'm so glad I entrusted the recovery with them. The majority has been recovered with several corrupt files but I have the main ones I was hoping for! The service has been exceptional - extremely prompt response to my initial inquiry, excellent communication and customer service throughout, and organised collection and return of the drive. I shall learn by my mistake and make regular backups but I shall certainly know where to go if needed again! I can't thank the whole team enough.
From my first enquiry on their website everything was handled promptly and professionally. First I got an email acknowledgement so I knew they were aware of my enquiry. Then a call from an actual human being; Stewart Gemmill who talked me through my issues, clearly explained my options and costs and sorted collection there and then. Collection and return delivery happened exactly as and when I was told. I received detailed email updates on the progress of the recovery of my data. Courtesy call and emails to clarify points and I was happy with progress. Returned new drive is installed, working fine and I could not be happier. All happened well within their advertised turnaround time and done in friendly manner, not intimidated by their better knowledge and professionally. Did not judge me once - even though it was down to my error. R3 response and service far exceed my expectations and I could not be happier. I would recommend them to friends and colleagues in a heartbeat and I am quite happy to have my name and comments shared by R3. Thank you!
expensive but value for money
Did the job. Did it quickly. Communicated effectively. Some miscommunication occurred. Price was more than anticipated.
These guys recovered 100% of my data…!! They kept me informed all the way and were very professional. A little bit expensive, but worth every penny. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily use again.
Couldnt have asked for more support
Really helpful, clear pricing and great turnaround speed. Thank you to Andy and the team
Good service. Everything was fully explained throughout the process and any queries I had were promptly answered.
