IBM has ILOG as well which is likely a better match for scheduling problems.

Fun Fact: google-ortools was written by the same people that wrote ILOG. You used to have to "bring your own search" when using ortools, which I used to assume was to avoid conflict with IBM. I haven't used it in a while, but looks like there's a one-size-fits-all search algorithm now. I'd be curious to try it sometime.

OptaPlanner (Java) or OptaPy (Python) doesn't need any other installations. Just add a dependency in Maven/Gradle (Java) or pip install it (Python).
