# Which academic scheduling solutions are most reliable based on reviews from registrars managing multi-location institutions?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Looking specifically at reviewers in registrar and academic-operations roles rather than general users, here's what stands out in <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/academic-scheduling">academic scheduling software</a>:</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ad-astra/reviews"><strong>Ad Astra</strong></a>: has the clearest registrar-level evidence. A Registrar Specialist and an Executive Director of Academic Operations both reviewed it, with the latter crediting its tools for surfacing scheduling conflicts and tracking underutilized space across locations, and it carries the highest NPS (67) and satisfaction score (94) in the category.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/series25/reviews"><strong>Series25</strong></a>: reviewed by administrative and operations staff rather than registrars specifically in the data I pulled, so I'd treat its multi-location reliability as less directly evidenced, even though the product is built for this exact use case and has been on the market for decades under CollegeNET.</li>

Its 4.9-month average implementation time is also worth factoring in if reliability includes how fast you can actually get live.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For registrars running multi-location scheduling day to day, what's actually broken down under real semester-start pressure?</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p>

&lt;p&gt;Going by what higher-ed admins actually write, Ad Astra comes across as the reliable pick for real course and room scheduling, reviewers (largely admins at mid-market and larger institutions) praise the central multi-location view, real-time updates and genuinely standout customer support and community. The honest counterweight is the learning curve and report overload some mention. ConexED also rates decently and reviewers like its support, but remember its reviewer base is student-services users, so &quot;reliable&quot; there is about appointments and virtual meetings, not room timetabling. For a registrar preventing conflicts across sites, Ad Astra is the more on-target reference. What&#39;s your student headcount across locations?&lt;/p&gt;
