Types of AI online proctoring software
Exam platforms with built-in proctoring
Inspera and Digiexam deliver the assessment itself and add monitoring or lockdown on top. They suit institutions that want one system for authoring, delivery and review, and they usually need a longer rollout and more staff training than a browser add-on, because teachers move their question banks.
Add-on proctoring for existing learning systems
Honorlock, Respondus, Proctorio and ProctorFree attach to Canvas, Moodle or Blackboard so instructors keep their own quizzes and grading. Respondus centers on a lockdown browser, while Honorlock and Proctorio add camera monitoring, ID checks and configurable exam rules for each instructor.
Identity-first and biometric proctoring
Proctortrack and Talview put face matching and liveness at the center, and Proctor360 adds automated check-in. They fit exams where impersonation is the main risk, but biometric data raises consent, retention and deletion questions that the institution has to answer for every test taker.
Credentialing and hiring assessment suites
Kryterion and Mercer | Mettl bundle proctoring with test centers, psychometrics, coding tests or competency simulations. They fit certification bodies and employers more than a single university course, and the proctoring is usually sold as part of a wider contract.
