100% Data Recovery achieved

100% Data Recovery achieved. I don't normally compose reviews, however, my outstanding result from Ontrack motivates me to do so! My Seagate Portable Extension Hard Drive with critical work related files failed before I could back up the contents. I initially took the Drive to CentreCom for data recovery and it was confirmed the Drive had failed: Unfortunately CentreCom could not restore it. I used the Ontrack service and analysis confirmed that the Drive was in early stages of failure and a good data recovery result could be achieved. Like so many other reviews, the best result possible was achieved: 100% Data Recovery. With thanks to the Ontrack team for the professionalism and keeping me informed every step of the way. Well worth the investment of time and money in using the Ontrack Data Recovery services!

Totally Disappointed

On April 4, I sent a simple 16gb pen drive that had a couple of documents to recover, this company answered me 23 days later, yes, more than 3 weeks! to tell me that if I wanted them to start a diagnosis I would have to pay 270 Pounds, this without any assurance that they could recover any file, that is, money that I could easily lose, if they found files to recover I would have to pay ADDITIONALLY 600 Pounds, plus shipping costs, plus the cost of a new pen drive, these costs are exaggerated for the type of disk, amount of data and additionally the type of user, I am a home user, not a company. Obviously I did not accept the proposal, later I received an email indicating that the return shipment would cost 18 Pounds! which is also excessive taking into account that we are talking about a flash drive, and the shipment would be national. I proceeded to make a claim and later they sent me at no cost. I do not recommend them.

Ontrack kept me informed and provided me a diagnosis as a reason of my data loss. Although they couldn’t recover my data due to a faulty ssd (Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro), it was still nice that they tried.

Hard Drive Photo Recovery at it's best.

The company are very professional in all ways. They did an extremely good job, kept me informed of all the stages in the investigation and completed the task efficiently and quickly. I am satisfied with the work they did, although it was very expensive.

Very efficient company

Very efficient company, recovered almost all my files, lost on faulty hard drive, in very quick time. and answered several questions I had after receiving my recovered data almost instantly. Would highly recommend, worth every penny.

I highly recommend Ontrack!

I highly recommend Ontrack! Steller customer service and they keep you informed along the entire process. Very easy to set up an account, track, pay, and pick-up. They were able to recover ALL of my data from an external hard drive that just suddenly stopped working. The external hard drive had over 211K of documents, photos, etc.

A mixed bag, less good than I wished

The good bits: Company is VERY professional in many ways with detailed report and follow up.

The bad bits: I gave a full explanation over the telephone for what had happened (ransomware attack). I was advised to bring the server into them. I did this. I asked for a receipt (as I am handing over £3,000 of kit) and was told "you will get an email in a few minutes" - I didn't. It took 24 hours. Just over a day later, I had my report which told me, in a VERY professional document EXACTLY what I had told them before bringing it to them and nothing more. This cost me £1,000. Further, bearing in mind that they stated that they can recover from ransomware attacks, the report went on to say "If they (the data files) are also encrypted, we will not be able to recover the individually encrypted files" which rather negated the whole point of taking the machine to them.

Reply from Ontrack by KLDiscovery

Hi David, Thank you very much for your review and positive feedback.
We apologise that you did not get an email immediately after dropping in the device in as a form of receipt. We certainly understand the value of the devices we receive and as you were correctly informed, this email should have come to you sooner than it did. We will look into the cause of this delay.
With regards to your comment of the report we provided, the cost of the service you paid for allowed our engineers to image the drives to check their condition, review the logical data on the drives and provide you with the next course of action in order to determine if Data Recovery of the critical files was possible. Additionally, you selected our priority, front of queue service due to the urgent nature of your request.
As part of our process, we are required to evaluate the server in order to understand our capabilities in assisting you recover your data, the findings and stages are shown within the report we provided.
We certainly have capabilities to recover from Ransomware attacks. Individual flat files that are encrypted are more difficult to recover in many circumstances, but as you were informed both before engaging with our service, and as part of the report, we have capabilities to recover from larger files such as VMDK files, or back-up files that may only be partially encrypted where we can look to extract data from within. Due to the file types in your case being VMDK files, this was the suggested course of action to attempt a successful recovery in your case, as summarised in the report.
We thank you again for choosing Ontrack, and your positive feedback in this review. If you would like any further clarification on the results that we provided, or have any other follow up questions, we will be happy to discuss this further with you, please contact your Ontrack representative.

HDD recovery

I would really like to recommend this company for recovering data from HDD. I lost my hope of getting my data back from a corrupted Lacie HDD, I gave it to some other companies to scan it but every time was unsuccessful and a waste of time. We had a great communication, even they replied few emails in minutes and got the HDD recovered in few days only.

Worth every dime.

I recently had a 5TB Seagate plug-in drive die on me ... a drive for which I had no back up because, well, backing up was on my list of things to do.

The team at Ontrack were able to recover all but one of my files and I'm impressed by the speed with which the job got turned around and by their systems and services. The work took 5 days, door-to-door: I asked for the priority service and they delivered as promised. Ontrack's process was seamless, swift, and thorough.

The price of their service depends on the complexity of your project and on the services you ask for.

Worth every dime, and now, I'm looking at cloud services.

It won't even turn on!!!

I had my data recovered off a very damaged iPhone and it was sent back to me as an iPhone backup that went on a new phone seamlessly. You feel really informed through the process and if they cant help you they don't charge you! How can you lose?

An awesome experience from start to finish. Initial conversations were informative and non-pressured, service was fast and efficient, data was restored, shipped and encrypted as promised. Couldn't be happier, obviously the leader in this field. Would 100% use again
