[Review]Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery 7- Professional

Security

• Does the software contains malware?. This is always the number one test the software must pass. You would want to solve one problem and start facing another one. You can upload the downloadable .exe file to Valkyrie — an advanced file verdict system for threats analysis. Similarly, you need to check if it performs safe operations. The next thing to check is whether the application only performs read-only procedures during the scanning process. This is important because you don’t want any third-party software to write extra content to the disk drive from which you want to recover your files. Stellar passed all these tests

Quality Check

• Supported file types.  Uncompromisingly, The file rescue tools should support recovering of as many types of file types as possible, so you don’t have to try other alternatives. When you are with stellar Phoenix 7, you will never be with any other data recovery company it supports around 300 file types.
• Supported storage devices.  We all know these days file loss happens more often on removable media than on PCs. Stellar Recover data from all internal & external Storage Devices like Hard Drives, SD Cards, CD/DVD,

  USB Drives, External Hard Drives. I personally tested it on Micro SD, ext hard disk and 8gb USB drive

• The time required to complete the scan.  Obviously, you don’t want to spend the whole day simply waiting for a drive scanning process to complete(During my first experience, I spent the whole day scanning although this is partly due to the pc configuration and the volume of files being recovered. It also has to do with the program I was using). The program should perform high-speed scanning, or offer flexible scanning modes for end users to choose. Stellar pro 7 2017 has it all
• File preview & quality. This is one of the features of stellar that i enjoyed most when i was using it. When the scan process is over, the program should be able to allow users to preview thumbnails of found files, because this helps you to quickly check if they are the items you want to bring back. Also once they are recovered, quality of recovered files should be identical to the originals.

Ease of Use

Without any gainsaying, stellar phoenix data recovery software is tagged the best in this category as well, The user interface allows both the novice and the advanced users to be able to use the software. Usability is key because end users of this kind of computer programs are usually not tech-savvy. The easier and simpler the software interface is designed, the better a user is able to handle it.

Also, software crash is unacceptable, This is also an indicator whether a piece of software is poorly developed or truly great, which is surely worth exploring in our tests.

Windows Compatibility

This factor directly reflects if the software is being maintained and kept up-to-date. Not only an outdated program has compatibility issue running on latest Windows operating system (as of 2017, it’s Windows 10), but we suspect it would have security concerns as well. Bottom line – a good PC file recovery software should be compatible with common Windows OS, including the latest Windows 10. The main reason why stellar upgraded their software to version 7 is for it to support windows 10. Now it is fully compatible with all versions of windows including windows 10. I actually tried it out on windows 10 pro latest build

Technical Support

I also have a testimony here. In the case of reviewing this software, I instinctively contacted their support to confirm one or two things and do you know what, they were as polite as there were supportive. They also replied me promptly.The developers/providers should extend their support via email, live chat, or by phone, etc. Also, during a review of any software, reviewers give more weight to those programs that offer troubleshooting tips and tutorials on their official websites. All of these are present in the stellar Phoenix team.

Requirements/ prerequisites and limitations of a data recovery software

We are still on the review of choosing the best personal/business data recovery software 2017. Before we go strictly into reviewing stellar phoenix windows data recovery 7 professional software, I want to give you some tips on how to make the most out of any good recovery tool.

Pre-requisites

• Please do not have any other data recovery too pre-installed on your computer
• Make sure your computer is virus-free especially if you lost all your file due to virus attack in the first place
• Try not to save your recovered files to any location on the problem drive. E,g if you lost 2gb worth of files on a Micro SD and you have recovered them with stellar, please do not save the recovered files to that same Micro SD card
• Also, ensure you do not rewrite any data into the problem drive prior to recover.
• Furthermore, try and use a computer with the highest configuration possible. Do not use a computer that is extremely low in spec. This will speed up the process a tad
• You should grant the recovery software administrative privileges
• Avoid using your pc while the scanning process last.

Limitations of data recovery

Overall, a paid/premium data recovery software will outperform a free one. Data recovery isn’t always guaranteed and completely depends on the situations at which, the file has been lost or deleted. Simply deleted or formatted files can still be recovered as long as it’s not been overwritten or malfunctioned by virus/Trojan programs. Besides that, there are various other reasons of unsuccessful data recovery out of which, some of them are mentioned below:

• Severely damaged storage device
• Stored location has been missing or cannot be located by recovery program
• Deleted or lost files are too old to recover
• Physically failed storage device with damaged magnetic area (where actual file is stored)
• Data has been overwritten
• Heavily infected files and folders which make files header information inaccessible
