The most interesting and likable thing about Turnitin is that it allows the user to check the similarity degree of a given file against a wide range of online publications. Being able to confirm the similarity degree gives the user a high level of confidence in their work and the authority to claim the originality of their work. One can easily customize the software to fit their needs in different situations. For instance, one can exclude quotes, references and sources with a given percentage of similarity. The customization possibility makes the software highly flexible for the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At times, Turnitin does not assure or guarantee the user a hundred percent surety. The software can only check a file against the data stored within its databases. Some sources might not be in Turnitin's database which lowers its reliability. Turnitin can only heck a material against online sources. The sources that may only be available in print media are not accounted for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Copying or using another person’s words without acknowledging the owner of the words can land someone in legal tussles and even damage reputation and Turnitin has helped me to avoid such problems. This is because the application is the best for checking originality of my written content so as to avoid plagiarism at all costs. The application is quite reliable and it gives report which is very accurate and can be relied upon in decision making process. The application highlights the plagiarized words and where they have been used or institution where they have been submitted by another person. This makes it easy for me to edit the words and replace them with others which help to improve my originality. The application is also user friendly in all aspects.

The application checks plagiarism against other written documents which can be found online. If the copied words or quotes are from a book which cannot be found online, plagiarism will not be able to detect such plagiarism and this can land someone in trouble without knowing because Turnitin will indicate plagiarism free content and that is not the case.

As a customer support, I must ensure that the content delivered to the client is original, that is, it is plagiarism free. Without the help of Turnitin, one cannot claim that the content is original since we may have unintentional plagiarism that may occur even when you have not copied any information from another source. Of all the features offered by Turnitin, I like its ability of highlighting the plagiarized parts including the sources where the information has been obtained. The user can access the pointed sources and obtain the main idea that they will replace with the plagiarized part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Turnitin is a good plagiarism checker, but it is not such effective since some of the content may be approved as plagiarism free when it is not the case. This ineffectiveness brings about bad customer experience since the user may end up delivering unoriginal research to the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the easy UI that facilitates ease in use. I also like fast checking of documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main downside of the software is that it has positioned itself as an educational based software. As a result, its services are limited to schools and students. I feel that the software is crucial for magazine and newspaper companies based on the need to ensure the authenticity of their content. More so, this is important based on the economic value of the papers. Turnitin is also limited by its pricing plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Turnitin is mainly dealing with originality, it makes learners to loose confident with it. It may not easily determine the quality of an essay and it gives out low justification of the paper. Turnitin gives unfair grading of the papers, this is due to essays being checked in a robotically way and then frequently graded on their facts originality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Turnitin software is ideal in detecting plagiarism and thus the best in promoting academic integrity. Turnition is excellent in giving feedback on papers done and submitted by students.

The drawbacks of Turnitin is that some uploaded papers score high plagiarism rates even though they have correct citation due to long quotations. Also, the software is not able to check the styles of citation such as Harvard, MLA, and APA. In addition, the software is not able to prompt students to cite all information that require credibility. Last, it creates a bad impression of not trusting students.

PlagScan detects plagiarism that most other tools do not. It is widely used by SEO companies to prevent publishing of copied content. It is easy to use because you only need to sign up and buy search credit using your card. I like that it protects you from self plagiarism (copying content you had written before) because it keeps a record of the content you had checked earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I started using it and i had little knowledge on how it works, my content had some copied parts. I edited them then checked again only to find out that my article was 98% plagiarized! I later learned that PlagScan stores the article. Checking for the second time shows highlights all the parts you had checked earlier. I later learned how it works. I wish they find a way of simplifying it new users often find it complicated. It is expensive than the leading plagiarism tools like Copyscape (i don't know if i should mention that) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Turnitin has the drawback that it does not check for styles of citation such as Harvard, MLA, and APA. Also, Turninin is not customized to prompt users to cite information requiring utmost credibility. In other times, Turnitin confuses ideas and thoughts that are original as having been copied from its database and thus mistaking certain content as plagiarisms while it is not. Last, some texts received high percentage of plagiarism due to long quotes and yet they have proper citation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
