What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

Lockdown Browser is an excellent tool to aid in helping to prevent students from cheating. When used in conjunction with LMS's like Canvas, it helps keep students "locked" into LDB to take their quizzes and exams and not be able to open other tabs to Google answers or open other programs or files on their computer to use or view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

Lockdown Browser works best in a proctored environment like a classroom where students can be monitored to not be able to use other ways to cheat on an exam. If used at home a student can be using Lockdown browser and "locked" into taking a quiz on their computer, but they can always pick up a phone, tablet, or talk to someone to get help answering questions on the quiz or exam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lockdown browser helps serve as a deterrent to cheating on quizzes or exams. When used in conjunction with having a quiz/exam with a set time limit, it puts pressure on students to finish the exam on time and know their information before they take it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

I love the ease of use of the product. It works seamlessly with Canvas and allows educators to create a secure testing environment on a student's computer. Couple it with Monitor, and you have a perfect pairing for virtual testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

Some of the features need an extra click to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lockdown Browser:

If you are looking for a great testing browser, this is the one. It has robust features and the cost is terrific! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lockdown Browser solved the problem of secure testing in a virtual environment. Once students realize that they are locked into a session, they understand that they can't search for an answer or open up another resource. Also, coupled with Monitor, students are then recorded as they take the exam and the teacher/professor can watch the recording later and look at the flagged items to see if there is a possible cheating incident.

What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

Nothing is helpful about this software in my experience. It is not made for MacBook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

Thanks to using responds, my Touch Bar no longer works. After having to use respondus in the past, I would need to go to my activity monitor to force quit my control strip and Touch Bar in order to reset it...or I had to restart my MacBook after using the software. Well, after getting this crappy update now my Touch Bar is frozen and won't work at all... thanks to respondus. I am now having to take my computer into Apple because I have lost an incredible amount of function. I would not recommend this software to a soul and I firmly believe that there has to be something better out there. If there are any cost damages to my MacBook I will do what I can to make sure this company is financially reliable, as it is 100% this softwares fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lockdown Browser:

Do not use this software if you own/use a MacBook. This software completely crashes the Touch Bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

there is nothing I like about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

It does not work on all computers, I had to borrow a friends computer for a test. It is also not easy to use, even when I used my friends computer we still had to navigate settings to get the software to run and it was still buggy and disconnected from my camera halfway through the test which seriously hindered my testing window. would never recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lockdown Browser:

dont use this software, it is not effective at doing its job and easy to navigate around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are no benefits from this browser. It does not stop people from cheating if they are smart enough to find ways around it. Just take tests in a testing center in person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

Respondus Inc.’s Lockdown browser is an online exam-taking software that locks in your computer screen and monitors students with a camera throughout the duration of the exam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

The Respondus Lockdown Browser does not work on all devices. The software does not configure well with privacy settings on some (modern and fully functional) laptops, which leads to the inability for some students to take online exams that require webcam monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you?

The company’s technical support was notified about the issue and sent a detailed System Check Report. However, there was a complete unwillingness to look deeper into this problem beyond copy-and-pasting from the FAQs section of their website, which I had already visited obviously.

I love that it exits out of all other tabs/windows/files and only allows you to stay within the actual browser. This ensures you are being honest! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can still screen record. I am not sure if this is fixable but it can allow for the copying of important exams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solves cheating and using outside resources when they are prohibited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

LockDown browser is very good for testing and interviewing purposes where allowing a google search or any other means of copying information is forbidden. I like that it checks all the running apps and request to end their task if it would access the camera at the start itself. The speed is pretty good, and it can be plugged in with any website you want on the homepage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

I do not like the layout very much. It is very basic, and not very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lockdown Browser:

I would recommend Lockdown browser for testing and interviewing purposes. It is reliable and makes virtual testing very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you?

I often use Lockdown Browser to interview candidates for our team or different projects. It is very easy for me to use, especially if I don't want them to access certain websites. It's very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
