Our University has a formal policy that Turnitin must be used in this way. Turnitin cannot be used in evidence against a student if the student has not had the opportunity to view and correct their work prior to submission. The delay between multiple submission is very effective in killing off those into immediate gratification ie algorithm busting.

That gives a delay of 24-36 hours between submissions to reduce the prospect of "beating the system". The disadvantage of the student system is that I'd guess it only searches something like Google, but there's lots of other stuff which doesn't get registered due to access restrictions.
