Cisdem Data Recovery

Pros: After the scan, the recovered files are displayed and organized by file type, such as photos, videos, and documents. The “Documents” category is further sorted into formats like DOC, Pages, PDF, PPT, and more. Search and filter functions are also available, allowing me to quickly locate my deleted Pages documents.

In addition, a preview feature is available for documents, so I can view the recovered Pages files before restoring them and select the exact document I want to recover.

Cons: Not all found Pages documents can be previewed, and some found unsaved Pages documents are not displayed in the "Unsaved Files" folder.

Overall: Last month, I accidentally deleted a Pages document and, without realizing it, emptied the Trash. When I opened Apple Pages, I realized the file was completely gone. I searched for solutions on Google Chrome and came across an article from Cisdem. Just to give it a try, I used Cisdem Data Recovery—and I’m really glad I did. It successfully recovered my lost document quickly and easily.

Pros: 1. The user interface is clear and user-friendly. No pop-ups or ads.
2. I can recover both my accidentally deleted and unsaved Word files.
3. Word file preview is supported, so I can check if there's a file I want to recover.
4. Damaged files can be repaired.

Cons: Although the app can find and repair damaged files, some damaged Word files cannot be repaired.

Overall: In the last few days, I accidentally deleted some important Word files for work. Even worse, I emptied the Recycle Bin. I panicked. Then I tried searching online for helpful and practical solutions. I came across an article by Cisdem that caught my eye. I figured it couldn't hurt to try Cisdem Data Recovery. So I ran the app to perform a deep scan of my local hard drive. After the scan, the deleted Word files were unexpectedly recovered.

Pros: Easy to use with clean interface, quick to scan, save scanning records, supports many data loss scenarios.

Cons: Certain formats cannot be previewed before recovery.

Overall: I accidentally emptied the Recycle Bin on my Windows laptop while cleaning up my desktop, but 20 short MP4 clips and some PNG graphics from a marketing video draft was still inside. Yes, I deleted them by mistake. These were recordings from a product demo I had done the day before, and I hadn’t backed them up anywhere. I ran Cisdem Data Recovery on my PC, scanned my disk, let the scan go deeply all the way until it finished. And it actually located the deleted video clips. I was able to preview them and recover the entire folder. Everything opened normally afterward, which honestly saved my work and deadline.

Pros: 1. Recovers a lot of file types
2. User-Friendly interface
3. Fast scanning
4. Nice support, they also offer remote assistance

Cons: some photos are severely damaged and cannot be opened.

Overall: Last weekend, disaster struck—I accidentally formatted the wrong USB drive, wiping out months of personal photos and important documents. Panic mode: ON. 🙃

After trying (and failing) with a few free tools, I gave Cisdem Data Recovery for Mac a shot—and it was a game-changer. Within seconds, the scan found thousands of "lost" files, including family vacation pics I thought were gone forever. The preview feature let me cherry-pick what to restore, and boom—everything was back where it belonged.
