I value Ad Astra for its robust scheduling functionalities, intuitive interface, and capacity to streamline room reservations and class timetables effectively. Its real-time updates, cross-device accessibility, and seamless integration with other platforms make it a preferred choice for organizations seeking efficient resource management solutions.

As I navigate Ad Astra, I encounter certain challenges, including its complexity in configuring and overseeing schedules. Moreover, occasional technical issues and constraints on customization options may arise. Additionally, some reports and features may not facilitate efficient data collection.

It is a great tool to reserve spaces and it allows multiple user point to limit access to certain individuals around campus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes its laggy and if an event gets too big it can crash loosing all the progress you have done Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Astra Schedule is a good classroom scheduling tool. We've enjoyed the integration and live syncing of the data, which has been very helpful. Controlling security by the user and by the location provides a lot of options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall, Ad Astra software, as well as their support is very good. The focus is on academic scheduling, so some of the even features are not as developed, but that is not the focus. My main wish was that the data was easier to get to. Crystal reports needs to be used, which I would love if I could access it directly through SQL Developer or similar software.

After spending a lot of time stumbling through I am figure out the useful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not as user friendly as I would like, took a lot of stumbling around to figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Astra Schedule is a dream come true for those who have to schedule academic classes. It truly shreded *days* of work hand placing sections. Its Events part is flexible and capable, surpassing our SIS' ability to deal with extracurricular activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sadly, inconsistencies between sections of the application exist. Popping open list items in new tabs may, or may not, be supported. I realize that the foregoing is a systems resources issue, but it's a step back from the standalone version, IMO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you get a person in a conversation, you usually get insights that you would have missed, otherwise. The products (including the algorithms) are very useful and unique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Perhaps the chat bot becomes more useful with ChatGPT4's arrival. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find a human in the middle of the day. This doesn't strike me as a unique issue, FWIW. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ad Astra is more than a software company; they are all things positive: reliable, dedicated, energetic and work hard for our institution to help us help others. Ad Astra worked hard with us during unprecedented times and helped us navigate uncharted waters while doing whatever it took to help us get to find the solutions we needed to thrive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Scheduling is a niche, and Ad Astra works hard to ensure you aren't alone during the implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ad Astra is incredibly helpful in the way that it helps you not only streamline your scheduling processes but also keep all of the different entities and departments, in our case, connected through notifications, requests, and communication. We love Ad Astra for many reasons, but this is the reason that always stands out to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think that the way that Ad Astra sometimes has "outages," for lack of a better word, where certain individuals are locked out for a brief period of time, is probably the thing that we dislike the most at our institution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not a primary user of Astra Schedule. I'm application support but I can say that it's extremely user-friendly and the support that we've received from their help team has been great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think our implementation could have gone a little smoother, which caused us to not be successful in the first 6-7 months of using the scheduler. We've had some trials and errors that we needed to work through but I think we've mostly worked through that and are successfully using this tool in a way that works best for us.

It all works very well. I do wish the report function was more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the depth of information that is provided about our scheduling and how deeply we can drill down to see our enrollmet from different perspectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm sure there are more ways to view reports that we have not even had time to explore yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The product itself is wonderful and PERFECT for classroom scheduling, however, the customer service and support team are why I recommend it over any other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I honestlyy cannot think of something that I dislike. All of my concerns or issues are always address promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The platform is easy to use and helps to eliminate silos in communication. I feel more connected with constituents and schedule successful meetings at convienient times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have enjoyed it and definitely would recommend it to others. Sometimes those that are tech-phobic are tentative to try at first, but even they seem to pick it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ad Astra is a great tool for helping plan academic scheduling needs. Better planning helps our students graduate on time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've had a great experience with Ad Astra--no complaints so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not primarily use Ad Astra on our campus, but I have seen the amazing impact it is having. From scheduling our courses to scheduling events, it makes life a little easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing, at this time, stands out that I would say I dislike. I hope to be more of a direct user in the future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is easy to access and navigate. A lot of information at your fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some areas I have not worked with a lot would be nice to have step-by-step directions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to take out of date practices and make them applicable to today's scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are new to the system and have not had a complaint yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How easy it is to use and makes scheduling classroom/event space easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That it doesn't automatically connect with Outlook. You have to manually merge those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Currently, we use this system for our campus classroom management. I think it's underutilized in many aspects but some nice features are: detailed information about classroom spaces (including pictures, classroom features), actual scheduling details for the rooms, a space to see which rooms are available within certain parameters, a form to submit a room reservation request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's hard to say because I'm not sure the breadth of what the product can do. I do believe we're underutilizing the features available to us (there's an option to pull up data about room use and historical reservations that could be really interesting). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability is optimize classroom utilization is a nice aspect of this software. There is also a platinum analytics portion that recommend the most efficient use of space for all campus space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface can be slow and complicated for new users. It is a job to get setup and implemented, but they are equipped to assist with this. They have a cloud implementation, now that greatly reduces setup and upgrade inefficiencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
