ExamSoft vs Proctor Exams

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.

Proctor Exams is an online platform for companies and educational institutions administering exams remotely. Test takers can complete exams from home, work, or the field, while organisations create and manage tests, monitor results, and export reports. Depending on an exam’s security level, the service can verify identity and record the test taker’s screen and webcam. Live proctoring and browser lockdown are listed capabilities, and recordings are retained for 90 days. Proctors review completed tests and verify files for the selected security level, while most tests provide instant results. Personal information and results are stated to be visible only to the administrator. The service runs on web, Windows, and macOS. Listed prices are $45, paid once for a one-hour exam and $55, paid once for a two-hour exam. The recording tool requires a supported computer, webcam, storage, and display resolution.
