## OnVUE Reviews
  ### 1. It's good, until you realise you cannot launch your exam

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Thomas P. | Solution engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2025

**What do you like best about OnVUE?**

Nothing really stands out, the process is tedious and unclear about what is checked or not. The applications freeze on a brand new mac.

**What do you dislike about OnVUE?**

Launched an exam, everything was green light until...it kept me in the waiting phase "we are launching your exam", which never launched.

Online support sent me to Customer service Call, which redirected me to a Ticket number. My exam which have been scheduled and paid, prepared...is cancelled and I'm left alone in my booked training room waiting for an email (date TBD) from the customer success team.

I do not recommend.

**What problems is OnVUE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Couldn't launch at all the exam after all the technical and on call checkup

  ### 2. Seamless Exam Experience

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ankur M. | Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 19, 2024

**What do you like best about OnVUE?**

OnVUE has a plethora of examinations to choose from, it's single stop solution for acquiring industry ready certificates. It provides the ability to take exams from anywhere, eliminating the need to travel to a test center. This flexibility makes scheduling and taking exams much easier for busy professionals or those in remote areas.

**What do you dislike about OnVUE?**

It sometimes becomes chaotic with the technical issues at Pearson VUE. Internet connectivity problems, webcam issues, or system crashes can disrupt the exam, sometimes leading to rescheduling. Also at times it seems to raise privacy concerns.

It's been able to solve problems related to traditional in-person testing, particularly around accessibility, convenience, and efficiency. It provides the scheduling flexibility. It fosters cost and time efficiency with a benefit to access the results immediately.

It helped my to give onlice certification exams from home by providing proctoring service to the examiner party.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2023

**What do you like best about OnVUE?**

Literally nothing, except maybe the convenience

**What do you dislike about OnVUE?**

Unprofessional and rude proctors, waste of time and money
The proctor was so rude. This is my third experience with On Vue and the second HORRIBLE experience I have had with a rude proctor. There is nothing in the instructions about not being able to move closer to your screen to see. He almost kicked me out of the exam because I was leaning in closer to my screen to see. I couldn't move my head to see other parts of my large screen. I couldn't move my head to press next. I couldn't move my head to press check for review. I couldn't my head to see how much time I had left. The proctor made the experience very stressful, and this is already a stressful experience, in which we have invested hundreds of dollars and hours in review and preparation. Half way through my exam, I felt so uncomfortable and wanted to be done and away from that man.

**What problems is OnVUE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

NONE

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2023

**What do you like best about OnVUE?**

Nothing. Software is outdated, clunkly, extremely hard to find support number, etc.

**What do you dislike about OnVUE?**

Cannot use with a Mac, period. Customer service, if you can ever find the phone number, says they don't provide technical support and are unaware of any issues for Mac users. No help from anyone on topic.

It was supposed to help me achieve a certification.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David D. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about OnVUE?**

Modern looking interface with a good color scheme.

**What do you dislike about OnVUE?**

Testing platform is incredibly buggy with terrible UI. Drag and drop is very laggy on a Mac, almost unusable. Network connection testing method is flawed and will fail on a higher latency connection despite meeting the bandwidth requirements. This software has wasted enough of my time that I refuse to purchase or support services that use Pearson Vue to deliver testing.

University requires use of OnVue to take CompTIA exams.

**What do you like best about OnVUE?**

That there are alternatives. I am glad this is not the only platform available.

**What do you dislike about OnVUE?**

Everything. From the support to the application, which is very complicated. The amount of data required and the tedious configuration process.

**What problems is OnVUE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was attempting to get a certification but I was unable to because the proctors are constantly reminding you that not looking DIRECTLY into the webcam is a violation of their policies.

It is professionally structured and exam invigilators (at least the few that i had) were very resourceful when it came to assisting in anyway possible

**What do you dislike about OnVUE?**

It is hard to say what I dislike about OnVue, but if I had to find something it would be that for some finding the correct section for what you are trying to do may be a bit difficult. Not impossible but it does require you to stop for a second and make sure you are going to the right section.

**What problems is OnVUE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OnVue has helped me with my test taking anxiety and helped me to realize that test are more straight forward than you believe  (Must also be prepared for the test).
