### "Astra Review for Student Union, Event Space Management"

April 19, 2022

4.0

Overall good. The customer support from Ad Astra has been really good. It accomplishes our goals of scheduling and keeping other campus entities (i.e. Custodial Services) in the loop as to what is happening in campus facilities. I've seen a lot of product improvement on Astra over the last several years and I expect this will continue.

Pros

The system is customizable to fit the needs of the institution. Forms can be modified, room information can be as detailed as needed. The grids that show what spaces are available are easy to understand and click on for additional information.

Cons

The software is a bit intimidating for the average person to go in and make a event request. There's just so much on screen at once. The event request button is small and easy to miss. When the form opens, it's one big form. I'd rather have a wizard that walks us through the process. Basic info, then click Next. Select dates of event, then click next, Select rooms, then click finish. I think the ability to break things down a little bit would take some of the intimidation factor out of it and actually encourage students to use the system more rather than calling in their requests.

It is a overall good tool to manage rooms, lectures in a big building.

Pros

It is a user-friendly tool and you can see in real time what is scheduled or not

Cons

Sometimes I think that is difficult to find my schedule and the number of the room that I scheduled.

### "Difficult and Slow"

September 19, 2019

2.0

We have a small private university’s course and event scheduling in this software. However, it takes me up to 5 minutes to schedule a single event.

Pros

The fact that it will be discontinued at my workplace soon.

Cons

This software is very slow and difficult to use.

### "Astra is fairly simple to use and has many great features."

November 17, 2017

4.0

The ability to setup events with ease across a university campus.

Pros

A great about Astra is that you can make different accounts for different administrators and have them create all the events they need. Once they are all in, they are available for you to see and approve.

Cons

One bad thing is that you cannot get Astra to connect with Outlook, which would make it much easier to setup calendar and send notifications of changes.

### "Astra Review - Bashar Asir "

July 12, 2023

5.0

Pros

It's straightforward to use. I like that all the information you want is there.

Cons

Some of the information is sometimes hidden and you have to actively look for it or you will miss it. For example, when I want to block a room, it doesn't automatically show me the rooms after I choose the time and date. I would have to see the rooms available and select one.

Easy to use! Quick and allows for in-depth details to be put it!

Pros

I'm a student manager and we use it to schedule events and keep the details in line. It is easy to use and understand.

Just that the software automatically logs me out after a while, but for privacy purposes it's great!
