"A good browser to help prevent cheating, but it all depends on where it is being used."
What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

Lockdown Browser is an excellent tool to aid in helping to prevent students from cheating. When used in conjunction with LMS's like Canvas, it helps keep students "locked" into LDB to take their quizzes and exams and not be able to open other tabs to Google answers or open other programs or files on their computer to use or view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

Lockdown Browser works best in a proctored environment like a classroom where students can be monitored to not be able to use other ways to cheat on an exam. If used at home a student can be using Lockdown browser and "locked" into taking a quiz on their computer, but they can always pick up a phone, tablet, or talk to someone to get help answering questions on the quiz or exam.

"Respondus is not meant for Mac books whatsoever."
What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

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.

"Does NOT work well on all computers. It is not designed to run easily on macs and some PCs"
What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

there is nothing I like about this software. 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.

"Online exam software does not work on some devices"
What do you like best about Lockdown 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.

"Great exam security software!"
What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

I love that it exits out of all other tabs/windows/files and only allows you to stay within the actual browser. This ensures you are being honest! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

You can still screen record. I am not sure if this is fixable but it can allow for the copying of important exams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Thoughts on LockDown Browser"
What do you like best about Lockdown Browser?

LockDown browser is very good for testing and interviewing purposes where allowing a google search or any other means of copying information is forbidden. I like that it checks all the running apps and request to end their task if it would access the camera at the start itself. The speed is pretty good, and it can be plugged in with any website you want on the homepage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockdown Browser?

I do not like the layout very much. It is very basic, and not very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
