ProctorU

What do you like best?

Nothing. Overall a very very poor program

What do you dislike?

Poorly run business. Questionable privacy practices. Non-existent privacy disclosures. I took an exam on this application, expecting something fairly similar to Respondus lockdown only to find ProctorU gained access and changed system-level settings without my permission and without me even being able to see.

A message to any PROFESSORS, TEACHERS, or ADMINISTRATORS considering administering through proctorU: AVOID AT ALL COSTS. The security implications are much worse than similar programs since it goes so deep and can access essentially all system settings without the user even seeing. While so far some of the issues have only done minor such as disabling computer features and sometimes bricking certain computers, just remember that when something does happy it will be all on you ...

Not to mention: using proctorU does not stop cheating. If someone wants to cheat they will, and there are better ways to stop cheating than students someones security. These programs could potentially access bank accounts, private photos, messages, and other users accounts.

This application is a cybersecurity expert's WORST NIGHTMARE and I suggest it is avoided at all costs.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

No problems are solved with ProctorU. It just causes problems.
