Student, EE Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/25/2021 "Of the 3 different secure browsers I've used, this one is by far the buggiest and most frustrating." 0/5 What do you like best about Lockdown Browser? It worked one time, which was a relief from the frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser? The bugs I get aren't even consistent. I'll attempt multiple log ons, which will sometimes crash at the start, or wait until I've spent 10 minutes doing the webcam check to then freeze. There was no correlation of me exiting running programs, uninstalling video editing software that uses my webcam, or restarting my computer. I was recommended by tech support to uninstall my video editing software, which is both annoying and seems unnecessary, especially considering it wasn't running. I'm an electrical engineering student as well. The irony of using this program to learn about precision, circuitry, and programming is not lost on me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you? I am attempting to take quizes using this software. So far I've spent 20% of my time actually taking the quiz, and 80% going through bugs. I hope to realize the benefits of this program by increasing the first percentage and reducing the second one.

Nothing is helpful about this software in my experience. It is not made for MacBook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser? Thanks to using responds, my Touch Bar no longer works. After having to use respondus in the past, I would need to go to my activity monitor to force quit my control strip and Touch Bar in order to reset it...or I had to restart my MacBook after using the software. Well, after getting this crappy update now my Touch Bar is frozen and won't work at all... thanks to respondus. I am now having to take my computer into Apple because I have lost an incredible amount of function. I would not recommend this software to a soul and I firmly believe that there has to be something better out there. If there are any cost damages to my MacBook I will do what I can to make sure this company is financially reliable, as it is 100% this softwares fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Lockdown Browser: Do not use this software if you own/use a MacBook. This software completely crashes the Touch Bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser? It does not work on all computers, I had to borrow a friends computer for a test. It is also not easy to use, even when I used my friends computer we still had to navigate settings to get the software to run and it was still buggy and disconnected from my camera halfway through the test which seriously hindered my testing window. would never recommend.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you? There are no benefits from this browser.

Respondus Inc.’s Lockdown browser is an online exam-taking software that locks in your computer screen and monitors students with a camera throughout the duration of the exam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser? The Respondus Lockdown Browser does not work on all devices. The software does not configure well with privacy settings on some (modern and fully functional) laptops, which leads to the inability for some students to take online exams that require webcam monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you? The company’s technical support was notified about the issue and sent a detailed System Check Report. However, there was a complete unwillingness to look deeper into this problem beyond copy-and-pasting from the FAQs section of their website, which I had already visited obviously.

I have used the Lockdown browser several times and as good as the idea is, it is very inconvenient and frustrating . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser? The things I dislike about it is how you have to download it in order to be able to use it. When using it, trying to close everything on your browser is frustrating because sometimes you have important tabs and windows open and to use the lockdown everything must be closed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Lockdown Browser: Try to improve on the idea by adding possibility of taking over the screen without needing to close all windows and tabs and a exit button in case of lag or freeze of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lockdown Browser solving and how is that benefiting you? I have used this as part of my studies and education and surveys sometimes . The problem as mentioned in the previous box, with downloading and closing everything is that is it slow, it freezes and locks the computer screen to the point of forcing a shutdown because you cant exit or access the task manager or anything.
