If there were awards for data recovery software’s popularity, Tenorshare’s offerings would be at the top for 2021. Most recent articles on data recovery ensure to include Tenorshare’s solutions in their top 5. And when talking about smartphones and tablets, that’s justified.<\/p>\r\n

Tenorshare’s apps get top marks for speed and achieve pretty good results on mobile devices. However, you have more options if you’re on a desktop computer. Some of them are also better in some regards compared to Tenorshare’s offerings.<\/p>\r\n

So, let’s see some of those alternatives for those who, for whatever reason, would prefer not to use Tenorshare’s software.<\/p>\r\n

<\/span>Why Not Tenorshare Data Recovery?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

Tenorshare is an established creator of data recovery solutions with decades of experience in the field. Despite also offering solutions for data recovery on computers, Tenorshare’s products are more prevalent in the mobile space. That’s justified since they provide a great combination of speed, results, a straightforward interface, and realistic prices.<\/p>\r\n

One such example is Tenorshare’s UltData solution, which keeps expanding in popularity. That’s largely thanks to its top speed and effortless recovery process. However, that’s for mobile devices.<\/p>\r\n

Unfortunately, Tenorshare’s desktop offerings are good. “Unfortunately” because, in a world filled with stellar offerings that have evolved through decades of iterations, being merely “good” doesn’t cut it anymore.<\/p>\r\n

4DDiG, Tenorshare’s offering for recovery on desktop PCs, took over 38 minutes (38:35) to locate 591 files on a 16GB SD Card. That was close to double the time needed by other desktop data recovery solutions that we tried.<\/p>\r\n

Tenorshare’s app didn’t manage to find every single file of our data recovery test suite like other competitive products did. It allowed us to recover precisely zero files since you have to pay for that privilege. 4DDiG works as a demo of the full-priced product if you don’t.<\/p>\r\n

<\/span>1. Disk Drill<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

We’ll begin our list with the same app that usually finds its way to most of our data recovery “best of” lists, if not at their very top: Disk Drill.<\/p>\r\n

You may find alternatives that complete a scan for lost data quicker than Disk Drill. Others might present a more extensive list of potentially recoverable files. Some might even have a more straightforward interface – although it doesn’t get much easier than Disk Drill’s GUI. And there are also more complex solutions for the power users among us.<\/p>\r\n

However, every time we compare Disk Drill to its peers, we find it’s the only contender to consistently prove “more than good” in all<\/em> regards. It’s speedy, it never failed to recover the files we expected it to, and it gets high marks for user-friendliness.<\/p>\r\n

Disk Drill was almost two times quicker than Tenorshare’s 4DDiG during our testing, locating all our files in 21 minutes and 40 seconds. It also allowed us to recover all of them since their total size was less than the free version’s cap (at around 2GBs).<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. To recover your files with Disk Drill on Windows, download it from its official site<\/a>, and install it like any other app. When the installation completes, run the app.

  2. Choose the device you want to scan for lost files from Disk Drill’s Device\/Disk list, which takes up most of its window. With the device selected, the “Search for lost data” button on the bottom right of the window will activate. Click on it to begin the scan process.\"A<\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Disk Drill will run an initial scan for lost partitions. Then, it will start scanning the storage device to locate any potentially recoverable lost files. The more time you allow the scanning process to run, the more files it will locate. Ideally, it would be best if you let it finish. However, you can click on “Review found items” on the top-right to check everything Disk Drill has located before completing the scan. Note that the scanning process will keep running in the background if you go browsing the up-to-then found files. It stops only if you manually choose to do so or select and start recovering files Disk Drill already located.\"Disk<\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Place a checkmark on the left of the files you want to recover. If you can’t tell if you need them back purely based on their filename, double-click on them, or right-click and choose preview, to check them out before marking them for recovery. When you’re happy with your selection, click on the newly-enabled “Recover” button on the bottom-left of the window.\"Disk<\/li>\r\n\t
  5. Choose where you’d like to store the recovered files and follow Disk Drill’s suggested next steps to get back your files. The program will inform you when the process completes.\"Disk<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    You’ll find the files you marked for recovery in the destination folder you chose.<\/p>\r\n
