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.
I accidentally overwrote my Masters portfolio literature review. I rang R3 data retrieval in the morning and Andy was amazing and managed to retrieve it for me within the day. Best money I ever spent, excellent service and customer care. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic people to deal with Totally honesty Kept me informed throughout the process, would have no hesitation in recommending them Martin C
So after 20+ years of chancing my luck with no data backup my laptop one day wouldn't turn on. Slightly worried I bought another laptop and fitted the drive to transfer the data. But oh no that was dead. After looking around and reading reviews I messaged R3 late one Saturday night. 5 mins later I had a reply! Very professional and had all.my data recovered in the quoted time. I can't praise them highly enough. Of course I now have a nas drive and second backup of all my data.
Excellent communication during the whole process. Was even able to have my device collected from my house and taken to the lab on the same day so the engineers could get started. All files recovered within 24 hours, couldn't be more grateful.
Very quick and professional. They really saved my bacon as all our critical dada was inaccessible as our drive had failed.
Excellent service.
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.
Great Reliable Service! Recovered 95% of my data in a Lab Recovery. I was very pleased with the communication and overall experience.
Excellent service and everyone was very helpful and friendly. Cost was comparable to other companies and I considered it good value for money.
Excellent company to deal with. Highly professional and patient and no pressure to get the files. The only company to do it. All other ones are scams.
The service provided was very good
Fantastic service. Saved so much data from our broken harddrive. Excellent communication. Totally recommend!
