- In Pearson VUE, they take a photo of you and they want a digital signature while in Certiport you don't have to do it
- Outside the United States, there is a restriction with voucher availability in some countries. For example, the Greek Authorized Partner of Certiport can give vouchers only to testing centers and not to candidates while in Pearson VUE you can purchase the voucher online via VUE's site.
- In Pearson VUE testing centers, there are testing days and hours very often while in Certiport, there is one exam datetime per 15 days.
