Proctorio Pros and Cons

I like that each situation can be setup to meet the needs of the specific test. Settings can be configured for in person testing, or even remote testing. It also has a secure encription between computers, ensuring that nobody can access the information being transmitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proctorio doesn't have many down sides, but the one limitation we found was that it only works on computers. There isn't support for mobile devices like tablets or phones. A lot of our students have tablets for school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Proctorio allows me to take exams outside of the classroom. The first time I used it, I was a bit nervous because of the camera on my face, but I felt comfortable once I got used to it. I like that the university trusts this product so I can use it in all my classes. I also like that it allows you to hide your face if you don't want to see it.

The only thing I wouldn't say I like is how nervous it makes me as I am able to see my face and see how the camera tracks my screen. Being able to see what Proctorio is monitoring makes me nervous, just knowing I am being closely watched, but the more I use it, the less of this anxious feeling I have.

Proctorio helps us provide asynchronous online courses so that busy professionals can learn more and earn advanced degrees in a flexible setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally our students receive an error when trying to access a proctored exam Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proctorio does what it is designed for, proctoring online exams. It allows for faculty members to help ensure the integrity of their online tests and quizzes. The flagging of suspicious behavior has been very helpful to our faculty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The responsiveness, frequent turnover, and follow-through of the representatives assigned to our institution have been lacking, however, general support for faculty and students has been excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it does system checks before starting an exam. Making sure everything works before getting on an exam that is ases anxiety instead of running into an issue after starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the ID photo process. It seems to never capture automatically and takes time to make sure it captures manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I don't need to set up an appointment at the testing centers my test-taking can be flexible so I am always ready for it. I like that I am taking the test alone. I don't need to worry about other people seeing me panic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't love how worried I am about getting flagged. I am a fidgety person and don't know what constitutes flags on each test, so even though I don't cheat, I am worried about getting flagged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful aspect of Proctorio is that you can see both the student and their screen simultaneously, removing the need to switch between screens. I also think that having the computer system give a 'suspicion level' is a great time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it can be somewhat difficult to see results after you have proctored a few exams. I wish there were a dashboard or something that shows the statistics of the tests you proctored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how convenient Proctorio is. It allows students to take exams anytime and anywhere, which is very nice. I also find it less stressful using Proctorio than having an actual person there watching me take the exam. I would love it if all my college courses used Proctorio.

The only downside is that sometimes computers don't keep the correct settings needed for Proctorio so at times you may need to adjust your settings so that your microphone and other things work properly with the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are several things I think make Proctorio the best in remote Proctoring. The flexibility of the tool, the technical support, and the entire team behind the product are just a few. This tool made it possible for our program to create a completely online PharmD option and open our school up to a much more diverse and international population.

The small technical glitches can be annoying to deal with but they impact less than 5% of our student population. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's facial detection and easy anomaly finding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are very few I can point out. May be more awareness might help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
