What do you like best about Ad Astra?

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!

Overall, this platform has streamlined my scheduling process significantly. If you're looking for an easy-to-use tool that enhances productivity without the hassle, I highly recommend giving it a try! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ad Astra?

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.

What problems is Ad Astra solving and how is that benefiting you?

This system allows everyone across the campus who has access to view what is happening. I like the fact that you can click on it and see daily the classes that are scheduled and who's teaching the amount of students that are in the class. This system has some great visuals. I was able to color code the reservations by groups, etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ad Astra?

Everything I've ever asked for from Ad Astra was addressed and handled in a professional manner. I can't thing of anything glaring that I would dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ad Astra solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had a cumbersome and outdated system for scheduling classes that was not student friendly and did not lend itself to student success without a significant lift by our staff. Ad Astra's product helped us overhaul our processes and business model to where we are now more student focused and our staff can provide a higher level of service to all institutional stakeholders rather than be bogged down in a months long scheduling exercise.

The customer service is second-to-none. Imagine a company of socially-responsible, friendly, data nerds who really just want to change the face of higher ed for the better for students.

What problems is Ad Astra solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our schedule was a mess. With Astra, we've been able to get our classes in the correct room sizes, identify which courses needed more seats (and which less) and generally adapt the schedule to better reflect student need. As a result, we've seen a growth in average SCH from our students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
