1. Initial setup and log creation are a little bit complicated.

2. It is a pure command-line tool so no attractive user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestDisk:

If you are looking for free and effective data recovery software then I will suggest TestDisk. Because TestDisk is a highly effective freeware program. It was created particularly to aid in the recovery of lost partitions and the re-booting of non-booting discs whenever these problems are generated by malfunctioning programs. It is appropriate for both basic PC monitors and notebooks, but you'd never rely on them to restore servers or specialized and company vital data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDisk solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me a lot to recover my lost data or partition. One time accidentally I deleted the partition table but TestDisk helps me to recover it easily in just a few minutes. It also helps me to recover lost data from my hard disk. I am using TestDisk for the recovery of important data of my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
