It will allow you to govern your classroom with discipline and a firm hand, as well as facilitate the educational and learning tasks for your students. The interface is very intuitive. The software is robust. It is lightweight, doesn't take up much space, and can be easily downloaded in its client and server versions from the official website. The support offered on the website is quite good, gathering a collection of use cases with frequent errors that help ensure its installation is generally complete and successful. **What do you dislike about Veyon?** It's somewhat complicated to install. We have encountered some problems when communicating between client and server. But nothing that can't be solved with a bit of dedication. The platform's website also offers numerous FAQs that help a lot in overcoming the errors encountered. I miss having a tool to share folders or correct assignments, as well as others for carrying out collaborative work among different users, forming groups for example. **Recommendations to others considering Veyon:** It is what you need in your classroom to control the use of equipment by your students. Don't hesitate. Moreover, it is free. It will not incur any cost and is based on free software licenses. **What problems is Veyon solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has solved the problem of controlling what the students do from our computer, as well as communicating with them through messages. We can take remote control of their devices, and we can also block certain websites from our master computer. The potential of Veyon is enormous, it helps a lot in the classroom. ### 3. Best software for monitoring **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alina T. | alina, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Veyon?** I am a proctor and the facilities like text message, remote view and remote control are really helpful for me to do my job. The screenshot option is really good. I can take screenshot of what students are doing and if they are cheating, its easier for me to take the proof. I don't have to go to every single computer to input the passwords and also rebooting is easy. **What do you dislike about Veyon?** The only thing that I dont like about veyon master is that after the internet connection is gone, the whole page goes blank. So I have to close the software and click on it again. I think its a waste of time because at least 100 students will come to write exam everyday. I dont have time to close and open the application every time. **Recommendations to others considering Veyon:** It will make your work and life more easier. **What problems is Veyon solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main 2 factors in veyon master that made my life and work easier is 1. Password input. I dont have to go to every computer and type the password. This also helps to make sure that no one sees the password while inputting. 2. screen shot. It is really important to have an evidence or proof if I catch some students cheating. Veyon allows to monitor as well as take a screenshot instantly when needed. ### 4. Satisfactory Computer Monitoring **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bridget C. | Part-time Librarian, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Veyon?** The best part of Veyon was definitely its price (free!), but I have had positive experiences with it from the start- easy install, easy navigation, and subtle presence on the monitored computers. **What do you dislike about Veyon?** The reception for the monitors is a little laggy; if students are viewing a video, I can only see a frame every so often, and while not incredibly inconvenient, it just makes the experience slightly harder on the eyes. **Recommendations to others considering Veyon:** I've used other computer monitoring software in other school districts, and not only did I not see a significant difference in the product, I know the districts paid for their software. I think Veyon is the clear choice because of its ease of use and its low price of 'free'. **What problems is Veyon solving and how is that benefiting you?** When students would come to work in my school library, I was often unable to manage their Internet usage, and they would play games rather than work. Now, I can see what they are doing using Veyon, without having to walk by their computers, and close the programs they shouldn't be using. I can also easily scan the desktops of the library computers to check whether students have installed programs that aren't supposed to be there or have saved their documents to a public desktop, making it unsightly. ### 5. Veyon Master. The teacher's third eye **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2018 **What do you like best about Veyon?** Veyon is the ideal software for classroom control from the teacher's PC. The best part is that it is cross-platform, with versions available for Linux and Windows. It is free software and can be downloaded for free from its official website or from the Linux repository. It must be installed on both the teacher's and the students' machines. It will allow us to easily see which pages the students visit and remove them from those pages from our teacher's computer. We can also block Internet access in the entire classroom while we are giving a lecture and lock the students' computers, or force them to watch the remote broadcast of our desktop with a PowerPoint, for example, so they can follow it from their computers if we don't have a projector in the classroom. **What do you dislike about Veyon?** The installation process is somewhat long and cumbersome. First, it must be installed on the server. The role of each machine must be configured and the security keys established. Sometimes it has crashed and hasn't worked well, but it was fixed by restarting the application. The process of creating the classrooms and gradually adding the equipment requires time and a minimum study of the program's operation, as it is not very simple. We can start, restart, or shut down all the client computers connected to the teacher's PC program. **Recommendations to others considering Veyon:** The most disruptive students will not like this application, as it will allow you to keep students controlled in your classroom, preventing them from going to websites they shouldn't visit or diverting attention from your class. All this without spending a euro with this open-source licensed application. **What problems is Veyon solving and how is that benefiting you?** The control of classes and monitoring of student activity with this software has allowed us to keep track of the more disruptive students in order to guide them. It has prevented some students from playing heavy video games from the browser that could overload the classroom network. ## Veyon Discussions - [Does Veyon work over Internet?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/does-veyon-work-over-internet) - [How Veyon works?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-veyon-works) - [Is Veyon safe?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-veyon-safe) - [View Veyon pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/veyon/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-16+21%3A14%3A47+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=8cc0c899-ff2a-4370-92ba-e0950f75e858&secure%5Btoken%5D=8964e184e54c3f98cbb9b5361564f3718d08a73e3b96247282644e3725114f01&format=llm_user) ## Veyon Features **Platform Features** - Remote Computer Monitoring - Website & Application Blocking - Teacher/Student Screensharing - Interactive Quizzes - Presentation Building - Instant Messaging - Student Assignment Distribution - Student Assignment Collection - Progress Reporting - Shared Content Libraries ## Top Veyon Alternatives - [Dyknow Classroom](https://www.g2.com/products/dyknow-classroom/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (500 reviews) - [ClassDojo](https://www.g2.com/products/classdojo/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (354 reviews) - [Echo360](https://www.g2.com/products/echo360/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (446 reviews)
