ExamOnline

Overview

ExamOnline is an exam-management platform for organizations that need to create, deliver and report on assessments, with remote proctoring built into the workflow. It best suits schools, certification bodies and employers running supervised assessments at scale. Its combination of varied question formats and browser restrictions is useful, but buyers should weigh the supervision model against custom pricing and a 45-day default recording-retention period.

Made by Diversified Business Solutions Pvt. Ltd. in Mumbai, ExamOnline serves education, corporate, certification and government assessments, as well as hiring and learning and development. It brings registration, scheduling, exam delivery, evaluation and results reporting into one process rather than focusing on a secure browser alone.

Key features

Assessment workflow and formats

Exams can include multiple-choice, short- and long-answer, fill-in-the-blank, audio or video responses, and file uploads. That range supports both conventional tests and submissions requiring spoken responses or supporting files. Registration, scheduling, anti-cheating setup, digital delivery, evaluation management and result reporting are part of the workflow, which may suit organizations coordinating several stages of an assessment in one platform.

Remote supervision and browser controls

Remote proctoring combines AI monitoring and human supervision, drawing on webcam, microphone and screen activity. Identity checks and browser lockdown add controls for supervised exams; the secure browser can block app switching, copy and printing, and screen capture, as well as copy-paste, new tabs and external apps. These restrictions suit high-stakes exams where limiting access to other tools matters, but they make the product less appropriate for assessments that require unrestricted device use.

Integrations and retention

ExamOnline says it integrates with existing learning management systems and testing platforms, and supports LTI integration. Buyers should confirm the integration requirements as part of contracting. Video and screen recordings are retained for 45 days by default; longer retention is possible under contract requirements. That window is a material consideration for organizations with review or recordkeeping needs beyond the default.

Pricing

ExamOnline is paid, with custom pricing rather than published rates. The Customized plan is tailored to volume, proctoring type, features and contract term, making it the relevant route for organizations with defined scale or supervision needs. No seat caps, quotas, trial period or renewal terms are given.

The pricing page describes dedicated 24×7 technical support; enterprise clients also receive a dedicated account manager. It also says the service adheres to ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and GDPR standards. Organizations should clarify which support and integration requirements are included in their quote.

Platforms

ExamOnline supports Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and web. That breadth can accommodate candidates using different device types, while the secure-browser controls are aimed at managed exam conditions. Confirm that the intended exam setup and candidate devices are compatible before rollout.

Who it's for

ExamOnline is a strong fit for education providers, certification and government bodies, and employers that need remote supervision alongside exam creation and result reporting. Its varied response formats also make it relevant to hiring and learning-and-development assessments. It is a weaker fit for occasional users who need predictable public pricing, or for exams that cannot tolerate browser restrictions or the default recording-retention window.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Combines exam administration, evaluation and reporting with remote proctoring, reducing the need to separate those stages across tools.
• Pros: Supports written, recorded and file-based responses, enabling more than multiple-choice assessment.
• Pros: Browser controls block app switching, copying and printing, and screen capture for restricted exam environments.
• Cons: Custom pricing and an unstated Pay-As-You-Go rate make budget comparison harder before contacting the provider.
• Cons: Recordings are retained for 45 days by default, which may not suit organizations needing a longer review period unless contract terms extend retention.
• Cons: Strong lockdown controls are a poor match for open-device assessments that require candidates to use other applications.

Verdict

Choose ExamOnline if you need a single platform for varied exam formats, remote AI-and-human proctoring, administration and reporting across multiple device platforms. Its breadth and lockdown controls are the main reasons to shortlist it; custom pricing and the 45-day default recording-retention period are the main reasons to compare alternatives and settle terms before committing.
