"Reach for the stars with Ad Astra!"
4/5
What do you like best about Ad Astra?

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.

What do you dislike about Ad Astra?

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.

What do you like best about Ad Astra?

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.

What do you dislike about Ad Astra?

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.

"Good"
4/5
What do you like best about Ad Astra?

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.

What do you dislike about Ad Astra?

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"
5/5
What do you like best about Ad Astra?

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.

What do you dislike about Ad Astra?

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.

"We love Ad Astra!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ad Astra?

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.

What do you dislike about Ad Astra?

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.

"Astra Schedule"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ad Astra?

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.

What do you dislike about Ad Astra?

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.
