Integrity Advocate Is Ranked #1 for Online Proctoring on G2. Here’s What That Means.
Integrity Advocate ranked #1 in the G2 Usability Index for Online Proctoring, for the second consecutive season. G2’s rankings are built entirely on verified reviews from real users: the administrators, directors, and instructors who actually run exams on these platforms every day. They rated us best, and that matters.
Here’s a look at what the ranking measures, what the data shows, and why it reflects something real about how IA is built.
What Is the G2 Usability Index?
G2 is the largest peer-to-peer software review platform in the world. Their Usability Index ranks products within a category based on three user-rated dimensions:
- Ease of Use — how intuitive the platform is for test takers and administrators
- Ease of Administration — how much overhead it takes to set up and manage
- Meets Requirements — whether the platform actually does what programs need it to do
Every score comes from authenticated, verified reviews. Companies cannot pay to improve their position. There is no sponsorship or placement influencing the results. The index score reflects what users say nothing more.
The Summer 2026 Rankings

Integrity Advocate holds a 0.38-point lead over the second-ranked platform and a 1.21-point lead over the lowest-ranked platform in the category. In an index where scores cluster tightly, that gap is significant.
Above Category Average Across Every Dimension
G2 scores IA above the category average on every metric the Usability Index measures:
No other platform in the category leads the field on all three dimensions simultaneously.
What the Data Looks Like Head to Head
Numbers tell the story more clearly than positioning claims. Here’s how IA compares to the platforms most programs evaluate side by side:
Integrity Advocate vs. Honorlock
- Ease of Use: 94% vs. 90%
- Ease of Admin: 92% vs. 93%
- User Adoption: 76% vs. 50% (+26 points)
- G2 Index Score: 8.45 vs. 8.07
The user adoption gap is the one worth paying attention to. A 26-point difference in adoption rates suggests that one platform is meaningfully easier for test takers to actually use — not just to set up.
Integrity Advocate vs. Proctorio
- Ease of Use: 94% vs. 89% (+5 points)
- Ease of Admin: 92% vs. 87% (+5 points)
- Meets Requirements: 91% vs. 89% (+2 points)
- G2 Index Score: 8.45 vs. 7.94
Integrity Advocate vs. Meazure Learning
- Ease of Use: 94% vs. 75% (+19 points)
- Meets Requirements: 91% vs. 77% (+14 points)
- Ease of Admin: 92% vs. 83% (+9 points)
- G2 Index Score: 8.45 vs. 7.24
Why IA Scores Where It Does
Rankings don’t come from nowhere. The G2 scores reflect specific, deliberate decisions we made about how to build this platform.
No install. Any device. Any browser. Test takers don’t download anything. There’s no browser extension, no IT ticket, no pre-exam anxiety about whether the software will work. They log in and start. Administrators don’t field support calls about setup. That’s a direct driver of a 94% Ease of Use rating — 6 points above average.
Human review on every flag. At every pricing tier. Most platforms treat human review as a premium feature. At IA, a trained reviewer assesses every flag before any outcome is issued — regardless of which plan a program is on. That’s not an add-on. It’s the standard. When a result gets challenged by a student, an employer, or an accreditor, there’s a reasoned judgment behind it, not just an automated flag.
Privacy first, by design. We collect only what is necessary. The platform is FERPA, GDPR, and PIPEDA compliant. Zero data breaches across more than a decade of operation. Programs that have faced scrutiny for invasive proctoring practices know what’s at stake. IA is built to keep programs defensible on that front.
Results that hold up. From identity verification before the exam to reviewed outcomes after it, every stage connects into one documented record. When something is challenged, administrators have what they need to respond. That completeness shows up in the “Meets Requirements” score.
What Users Are Actually Saying
These reviews are authenticated and verified by G2.
“We’ve been using IA for over a year, and it’s been an outstanding experience. The system is reliable, integrates smoothly, and respects student privacy — essential in K-12 education. What really stands out is the people behind the product. A strong choice for anyone looking for a privacy-first, human-centered approach to academic integrity.” — Tom T., Principal, Informnet: Manitoba’s Online High School
“I like how easy it is for the students to use. They don’t just leave it at what they’ve created — they’re always looking to improve on it, and they have. I like that it’s keeping students honest during their exams, which prevents us from having to disqualify them on AI generated answers.” — Allison L., Operations Support Specialist
“Integrity Advocate integrates seamlessly within D2L Brightspace, with no scheduling needed and very little maintenance. Rules for each exam can be tailored specific to the course needs.” — Andi K., Senior Director, Online Education
