ExamSoft vs Inspera Proctoring

ExamSoft is a digital assessment platform for creating, administering, and grading exams, then generating performance reports. The ExamSoft Portal supports item banking, authoring, scheduling, scoring, and reporting. Questions can be tagged for reporting, and the portal provides category and longitudinal performance reports. Exam-takers download exam files before the scheduled assessment and can then work offline in Examplify. For assessments marked secure, Examplify restricts access to other files and applications, and exam files are deleted from the device after completion. When enabled, ExamMonitor records video and audio during secure assessments for later review of potential academic integrity breaches. Listed LMS integrations include Blackboard 9.1 and above, Canvas, D2L, and Moodle 2.9 and above, with student and course data syncing to ExamSoft and grades to the LMS GradeBook. ExamSoft serves education programs and organizations administering certification and licensure exams. Pricing is on request. Examplify supports Windows, macOS, and iPad, but not Chromebooks, Android, or Linux.

Inspera Proctoring provides live and recorded remote exam supervision for educational institutions, professional organisations, and awarding bodies. It integrates with Inspera Assessment or an LMS and offers Resilience, Recorded Proctoring, and Live Proctoring options with differing features. Camera, microphone, and screen monitoring can identify activity such as leaving the frame, conversing, or using another device. AI flags incidents for human review; the institution makes the final academic-conduct decision. Depending on the option, exams can include identity and room scans, with dual-camera use optional for recorded and live sessions. Resilience is described as fully offline resilient, while recorded and live sessions list 30 seconds of offline resilience. Students can access live support in recorded and live environments. Inspera states that the service is GDPR compliant, uses role-based recording access, and supports thousands of simultaneous users. Pricing is on request.
