Inspera Proctoring vs ProctorDIY

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.

ProctorDIY provides remote exam proctoring that lets instructors monitor their own students with AI assistance. Instructors or teaching assistants can live-proctor up to 25 students. Identity checks compare face, ID, and knuckle scans with a stored biometric profile. During an exam, the application checks for blacklisted applications and devices, captures screenshots and webcam data, and flags possible policy violations. Processed sessions and time-stamped, pre-flagged violations are returned to the instructor dashboard within 48 hours. The service integrates with LTI-compatible learning systems, including Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Sakai, and Moodle. Students launch a lightweight application that the maker says downloads in under a minute and requires no administrative rights. The product is available on web, macOS, Windows, Android, as an extension, or self-hosted; Chromebook support depends on the LMS and product level. The maker offers cloud-based or on-premise data management. During an exam, the application may access connected devices, the screen, webcam, process and system logs, and keystrokes. Student data is typically deleted 90 days after the final course submission date. Pricing is on request.
