Pros

Years ago it was one of the few products with proctoring features.
It also has a wide range of question types. Though even then not all the question types were reliable in marking.

Cons

The test marking makes mistakes regularly. The first year we asked them to keep fixing it. Now we dont even bother asking. We have to manually mark the tests and the manually marking reveals on average 5% errors in the software marking.

Originally the value was good - essentially USD$1 per exam in bulk. It fitted out needs and we were spending ~$2500 per year. Then they started bringing in subsciptions with features we cant use, and pushing account management as a value add, when it was really totally pointless.

The account manager we were forced to deal with after the first 2 years was terrible. Doesnt listen to problems, only pushes features we cant use. Clearly commissioned to sell the highest price products, regardless of whether the customer wants any of it. The last 2 years when re-subscription comes around I HATE having to deal with him. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

Now they push their "content" as being the best in the world and so very valuable and worth silly subscription prices. Well I've tried 20 of their in-house written exams, and every single one was TERRIBLE. All written in Indian english that is very hard to understand for AU/UK/USA people taking the tests. The english tests were useless. The software (programming) tests were full of mistakes, and very hard to understand. At one point we tested 35 job candidates and all of them scored between 10 and 12 out of 40 on their exam. And yet their skills were very different.

Value proposition was ok, now its terrible.

Pros

Video Conferencing is really good , provided good quality of questions in assessments.

Cons

The Assessment platform can be improved.

Pros

One among the best online assessment tool, with more than 500 test on IT Skills. The best thing noted with them is they keep on updating and upgrading. Whenever we see a new IT tool/technology in the market, we can see an online assessment test for the same, within a week here. This is a remarkable one. Hiring managers and recruiters like this platform as it minimizes their work on Screening the profile. They are able to submit the profiles to the client with a lot of confidence now.

Cons

Little more user friendly and also looking for few more reports about the usage and activity.
