It’s a great place to share ideas, pick up tips from other schools, and see how different institutions approach scheduling. It also provides direct connections and customer support with the Ad Astra team, making the experience feel collaborative and personal.

What I appreciate most about Ad Astra's products is how they support data-informed decision making while keeping student access and success at the forefront. Tools like Monitor and Align make it easier to identify where we have high demand classes, potential scheduling conflicts and track underutilized space so we can act quickly and strategically. The platform also promotes collaboration between academic and operations teams, which helps us align our schedule with student needs and institutional goals. Ultimately, Ad Astra helps us remain data informed to be sure we offer the right classes when students need them - so that more students can succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Ad Astra offers strong tools for strategic scheduling, some aspects of the platform an feel complex or not intuitive - especially for new users. The learning curve can slow down adoption across teams that don't use it daily. Additionally certain features or reports may require multiple steps of workarounds to get to specific insights we need, which can limit agility during peak scheduling periods. As we continue to expand our use of the platform, we'd love to see more customizable dashboards and streamlined workflows that make it easier to act on data quickly.

The SPACESTATION, The scheduler part for reservations with the ability to upload pictures and resources for the employees. The team took care of the implementation after receiving the information to import from Banner and our old system. The system is really easy to use.

I recently started using a scheduling platform, and I couldn't be more impressed with how user-friendly it is. From the moment I logged in, the clean interface made navigation a breeze. The layout is intuitive, so I quickly found all the features I needed without any confusion.

Scheduling reservation requests and managing the scheduling grid calendar has never been easier. The visual design is clear, with color-coded options that make it simple to differentiate between various events. Plus, the drag-and-drop functionality is a game changer!

A few minor glitches but nothing a ticket can't resolve. When a person has multiple accounts due to depatment move I wish the system would merge the person together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that all room information is located in one easy-to-navigate location. While we are scheduling classes, I often have to remind myself how many seats per room so having an easy look-up is quite helpful. The room charts that we print are easy to locate and print out. Customer service is excellent! I appreciate the many opportunities to train in Ad Astra. It is one of the best room-scheduling tools I've used. I look forward to learning more!

Ad Astra's predictive analytics help us ensure that classes are scheduled when students need them (both according to their degree pathways and course maps and at the times of day and modality that students are looking for). The reporting is also helpful in building and monitoring those pathways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the analytics take a bit of tweaking to get right and the toxic course pairings require quite a bit of human analytics to decipher the correlations from the causation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration of equipment, spaces, reservations, meetings with different classification factors, timelines, setup and teardown windows, etc. is by FAR our favorite thing. We have really tried to centralize things, and Ad Astra has allowed us to do so in a seamless way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of features in Ad Astra that are helpful. However, sometimes, there's so much going on that I really wish I could speak with a representative about specifics. They do have a chat feature, which they do respond to, but sometimes I would like to be able to pick up the phone to communicate, as we do with some of our other software. However, All-in-all, Ad Astra is a wonderful product that I do recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When doing a search in the scheduling grid, it does not maintain the selected features, i.e., displaying by week, day, or month. In addition, printing the scheduling grid it does not print properly. The margins are off so the days of the week do not display over the correct column. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
