The user interface is not only pleasing, but clear and easy to understand, with large, relevant icons providing the main toolbar, an easy to use file browser in the side bar, and the main functions that the software provides are easily accessible from the front page. The recovery mode provides you with an advanced search feature to select specific files and save time and space where a complete recovery is not needed, as well as many other options for data recovery and storage, including an option to compress recovered data in a zip archive and the option to store the data locally or on a server through an FTP connection. The Phoenix recovery system also allows you to select between a complete recovery, a recovery that ignores deleted files, or a recovery of only deleted files. And all of this is selected one page of the recovery process, and largely requires only checking one box over another.

Some of the more attractive features include the softwares ability to recover raw media files, supporting many devices native file formats. It also allows for the creation of an image file from your corrupted data, a preview option for many common file types, and one of my favorite features a pause and save scan feature, when there is just not enough time to sit through the entire recovery process, where a complete recovery is required. The software will resume the recovery where it was paused before, allowing the process to be completed in multiple phases.

Finally, the product comes with a free live update feature for general maintenance updates, although only minor updates are free. It is clear that support for new and unsupported file formats will likely require the purchase of later releases, but at the price of this software, this is an entirely acceptable drawback and doesn't warrant discredit. For uncommon file formats, be sure to read through documentation before purchasing, but otherwise a quality product!
