Honorlock Reviews & Product Details

Not much. It is mostly an AI driven system and hence does not check consistently the exam environment as a human proctor will do.

Only good thing that can be said about it is that it is easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The room scan is especially faulty. It will lauch the exam even if the student does not do a room scan or scan the desk area. It also does not say definitely if a student is using a second devise etc but notes "student may have used". All this makes proctoring nearly useless and pushes a lot of proctoring stuff to faculty. It takes hours and hours of instructor time to go through the videos to decide on a student grade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honorlock is the easiest online proctoring solution the college ever used because of its tight integration with Blackboard. Faculty no longer have to jump through hoops to configure proctoring for exams. From the moment we adopted Honorlock, the team provided a lot of time and resources to ensure our launch was successful. This coupled with our dedicated and responsive client support specialist exceeded my expectations. The faculty experience configuring proctoring options is almost too easy with toggle switches to enable or disable proctoring options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is always a concern with any institution. The college is no different. Unfortunately, because Honorlock is becoming so successful, we will need to look toward the increased costs to support faculty needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Honorlock wants to handle the problems versus pushing it back on the college. We had that problem with our last proctor, and we spent a considerable amount of time dealing with proctoring issues. And so it's very nice and refreshing to have Honorlock wanna take the lead on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much I dislike about Honorlock. One concern is the dual camera option, which faculty like for a better scan, but it's tough for students who can't afford a second camera. Also, we've uncovered some small issues our faculty face, and right now, these issues are pushed to us administratively. It'd be nice if Honorlock could directly communicate potential errors or issues to the faculty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that with Honorlock, students do not have to schedule exams in advance, which makes the process more flexible for them. Additionally, if a signal gets dropped, it's easy to reconnect and finish the exam, leading to fewer student complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI monitoring has been incredibly disappointing. It won't catch if students skip the room scan. I end up spending over 10 hours per exam reviewing recordings myself. For instance, Honorlock flagged one issue, but I found half of the class needed flags for not following directions. Instructors need the option to customize what the software monitors or require students to use external webcams. The AI should also monitor light changes on student faces and provide more detailed reasons for video flags. I'm not sure what we're paying for when it assists student cheating.

I like the reliable tech support from Honorlock. Their team is knowledgeable in troubleshooting not only Honorlock-related issues but also problems with platforms like Blackboard and WileyPlus. I also appreciate their strong training and informational materials for both faculty and students, which are succinct and easy to share. During the transition from ProctorU, the Honorlock team was supportive and responded to inquiries timely, even though the timing was challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Specific details when describing a violation, particularly if it is strongly recommended that the faculty member spend time reviewing it. For instance, instead of 'student off screen', perhaps 'student has been off screen multiple times/number of minutes and disregarded instructions from online proctor (number of times)'.

I like the ease of use and the support from Honorlock. The support is phenomenal, available twenty-four seven, and anytime there's an issue, the answers are always just minutes away. The initial setup was really easy, as the Honorlock team came to campus to train our faculty and helped us set up the admin side through several calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are currently working on solutions to faculty requested improvements in two cameras and dashboard data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Honorlock software integrates directly into Canvas. Also, for the students it makes it easier to take exams in the comfort of their home without having to find a live proctor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honorlock has made my life as an instructor much easier, I do not have anything that I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honorlock is constantly evolving to meet new threats. Updates are seamless and happen in the background. Improvements are made with end user in mind to make interface and data more useable and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That we have to use Proctoring software at all! It (and any proctoring software) adds additional steps and setup by students who may or may not be tech savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Honorlock eliminates cheating and helps with student identification. It has protected the integrity of our exams and courses, making sure that students actually earn their grades. Honorlock has been a big help with stopping students trying to get unauthorized access. It was really easy to set up, which I found to be convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No complaint from my students or faculty Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Honorlock is that the platform has continued to evolve in meaningful ways over the last year. As someone who works closely with faculty, testing workflows and student support, it genuinely feels like Honorlock is listening to institutions and making updates that actually improve the day-to-day experience instead of adding unnecessary complexity.

The redesigned Session Viewer has probably been one of the biggest improvements for our team. Reviews feel much more streamlined now and it is easier to navigate sessions, understand events and find what you need without spending unnecessary time clicking through multiple screens. Faculty adoption has improved because the workflow feels more intuitive and less intimidating than it did in earlier versions.

I also think the Honorlock Desktop App has been a game changer. With how quickly AI tools, ghost apps and alternative browsers are evolving, institutions need solutions that continue adapting to those challenges. The Desktop App adds another layer of security and helps address concerns around restricted applications and emerging AI-enabled tools in a way that browser-only solutions simply cannot. It feels like Honorlock is staying proactive instead of reactive as the online testing landscape changes.

I also appreciate the continued investment in features like Side Angle Camera and the anticipated dual camera enhancements. The cellphone as a camera beta is especially exciting because not every student has access to an external webcam. Giving students the ability to use a cellphone as a camera has the potential to remove a real barrier while still helping institutions maintain confidence in the testing environment.

The 24/7 live support has also made a significant difference for our students and faculty. With previous providers, students could get stuck during an exam and not have a clear way to get immediate help, which created stress for students and additional escalations for faculty and internal teams. Having live support available during exams has helped reduce a lot of that friction and has improved the overall student experience.

Overall, Honorlock has helped us create a more flexible and scalable testing environment while continuing to evolve in ways that feel practical and customer driven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like any online proctoring platform, there are occasional technical issues or edge cases that come up, and no solution is going to eliminate every challenge related to remote testing or academic integrity. Some students are naturally anxious during proctored exams, so communication and training on the institutional side still play an important role.

That said, what I appreciate is that Honorlock has been receptive to feedback and we have seen meaningful improvements over time. Especially over the last year, it feels like customer feedback is turning into actual product enhancements instead of just being acknowledged and forgotten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
