Hello everyone,

I have been working in data recovery for about 10 years, mostly as an employee, and I am now planning to become independent and start my own business.

Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with PC-3000, so I am familiar with its capabilities and I fully understand why it is considered the industry standard. In my opinion, there is really no comparison when it comes to features, support, and overall ecosystem.

However, as I am just starting out on my own, investing in a full PC-3000 setup is not financially realistic for me at the moment. Rather than waiting until I can afford the perfect solution, I would prefer to start with something more affordable and grow from there.

For those of you who have experience with MRT or Dolphin, how has your experience been? What are their strengths and weaknesses in real-world data recovery work? How reliable are they for day-to-day cases, and what limitations should I be aware of compared to PC-3000?

I would appreciate hearing from people who have actually used these tools in a professional environment.

Thank you.
