ExamSoft vs Rally Analytics Platform

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.

Rally Analytics Platform is a web platform that unites student data for educators. It combines assessment and screener results with student information system records such as attendance, behavior, and course grades, plus surveys about well-being and the learning environment. Rally provides continuously updating predictions of each student’s end-of-year state assessment result. Educators can create student groups, assign targeted interventions, invite colleagues to co-manage them, and track notes and progress over time. Using the Ed-Fi data standard, the platform integrates district data sources, and groups can use prepopulated district information without manual uploads or data entry. Access depends on district identity management and student information systems, with automatic role-based security and school- or district-level access options. Education Analytics describes the data pages as requiring low to no training. The product page displays SOC 2, TX-RAMP, and Ed-Fi Alliance API Consumer badges. Pricing is on request; districts and state education agencies can schedule a guided demo.
