Overall Satisfaction with EMS Software

Higher education for academic scheduling and events across campus. It is a one-stop shop for campus.
  • Very user friendly and manageable—Client.
  • Love the reports. Automation is very helpful.
  • Ability to configure and specify spaces.
  • I like that for auditing purposes, changes are tracked❤️
  • Master calendar. It’s not so user friendly and very busy.
  • Better support.
  • When an email is sent from EMS, you are not able to see the attachments that were sent. You can only see that it had attachments.
  • Work efficiency of resources have improved.
  • Reports have helped administrators.
We used AdAstra before and it was not very user friendly. You could not copy events or move events to another date or location with ease. Reporting was the main reason we looked at EMS. All the other added friendly uses that came with EMS were perks. Other EMS products help scheduling to be more accessible even when someone is off campus; we have less calls coming in because it can be done online.
EMS is very easy to use when configured well. Coming to conference and networking with other users makes me realize that we are not utilizing it to its fullest potential so then we are always tweaking our processes and use of the product.
A little complex. Too much stuff to remember to configure.
EMS is well suited when it comes to scheduling and planning events. All the resources that need to be notified can be notified for said event with the use of automated reports. You are able to capture necessary information from requesters through UDF’s. It’s also very useful in copying annual events and moving academic classes for a one day class move. Those are the easiest events to schedule; only updating of information is needed. Set up and tear down time is easily scheduled and can be seen by others along with availability of the spaces.
