Proctor360 vs ProctorDIY

Proctor360 provides remote exam proctoring for organizations administering online, paper, or hybrid exams. Options include live 360 Total View, multi-webcam and single-webcam sessions, AI auto-proctoring, and institutional SaaS proctoring. The 360 Total View headset captures the testing room with a 360-degree camera. AI auto-proctoring handles scheduling, check-in, and monitoring, then records potential incidents for later review without interrupting the candidate. Reviewers can use recordings, incident logs, screenshots, timestamps, and flags in a web dashboard. Optional secure browsing blocks and logs external-site access and copy or paste attempts. Institutions can also use their own staff as remote proctors and archive sessions. Listed integrations include Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, NEO LMS, Populi, Assess.ai, and Prolydian. The maker says its AI engine does not save candidates’ biometric data. Pricing starts from $15; the named remote proctoring services plan has no listed price and directs organizations to contact sales or book a demo.

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.
