Comparison Websites – Good For Products, Laughable For Data Recovery Services
How can it ever be possible to compare the price 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.
So how can you possible do a cost comparison website when it comes to a service without first establishing the actual problem in the first place. Also if other data recovery companies are not happy to sign up to such a service even if you could conceivably do a fair comparison, how could it it be fair if the very industry that is benig compared does not buy into the concept of services cost comparison websites, and indeed why should they?
The big question here is where does it leave the consumer who is in most cases urgently looking for the best solution to a data loss problem in the first place, surely this would be classed as a blatant attempt to mislead the consumer to the fact that they are dealing a reputable company and getting a fair price to boot.
Most reputable data recovery companies will of course not wish to see customers put in this situation.
Without question data recovery requirements and solutions will vary from case to case and drive to drive, and each recovery will need to take into account many other deciding factors as well that without an initial evaluation simply cannot be properly assessed.
Product comparison websites are here to stay and in most cases offer a fair and reasonable cost comparison where most industry businesses subscribe, but even product comparison sites are starting to crack as the big players pull their support in favour of supplying an truly independent quote …..their own.
Product comparison of 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.
