Is it possible to compare the cost of data recovery without a preliminary investigation
You only have to do a quick search on Google for Data recovery to get a true glimpse of how competitive an arena this particular sector of the IT industry actually is, and if you dig a little deeper it becomes very apparent to the trained eye the tactics and strategies many companies go to, to capture the market the latest of which is cost comparison websites.
Cost comparison sites are springing up all over the world and to a great extent most of these will give a fair comparison of the market given any defined set of terms.
Doing a cost comparison is reasonably easy especially if you are comparing out of the box products, and /or you have a number of manufacturers or suppliers that are happy to supply their best price to the comparison website.
All very fair and reasonable but what if the services offered will vary or the end solution will depend on the problem in the first place. Also what if the companies being compared have not even agreed to be in the comparison scheme in the first place but are being falsely compared using comparative information that is as loose as a gaseous cloud to say the very least.
The big loser here will of course be the customer who will no doubt be pretty desparate to find a solution and get their data back especially if it is business data or treasured family photo’s or other important information. They will be led to believe they are getting the best price based on independent data when quite the opposite is true.
Most reputable data recovery companies will of course not wish to see customers put in this situation.
I don’t think any recovery expert would disagree that there is simply is not a one solution fits all approach to data recovery, and assessment of the facts can be indeed dictate the actually recovery procedure that actually takes place if you want to have the best chance of full data recovery.
Product comparison websites are very well suited to products for example comparing the cost of one hard drive to exactly the same drive from another supplier, but when it comes to any solution based service be it data recovery or even automobile repair, until you know the root cause of the problem it will be impossible to truly compare one business against another.
Product comparison websites of data recovery services simply will never be accurate as not enough details are known upfront and actual solutions can be too varied so these comparison sites should be avoided or taken with a big dose of salt.
