eMentorConnect Review

We are really trying to accomplish a number of business objectives. These include: developing inclusivity and diversity; building a strong leadership bench; transferring knowledge, and raising engagement.

PROS

Our organization has a robust mentoring culture, but it was not reaching as many people as we wanted or demand dictated. eMC is allowing us to expand our reach within the organization. Our previous mentoring was manually tracked and our mentoring resources were not well-organized or centralized.

CONS

As we are just getting started with wider particpation, we have no real cons to report at this time.

Reason for choosing Chronus

Our previous program was manually managed and management intensive. We realized that expanding our reach would require a platform to match mentors/mentees and to facilitate the mentor partnerships.

Vendor Response

Kudos to great mentoring cultures!

All-Encompassing Mentoring Software

My overall experience has been awesome. The customer service is always very attentive. We can be a demanding group, and they always go above and beyond. They have been great partners in helping us get the most out of the system. We are only going to continue to get better at bringing mentoring to our community with the help of Chronus.

PROS

We run several different mentoring programs at organization through Chronus and it offers the flexibility we need. We have different audiences, program cadences, and different ways of matching. Chronus gives us the flexibility to customize for our program needs, but also look at data consistently across all programs to measure collective impact on the organization. The matching capabilities have saved us hours of manual matching, which frees up the time of our staff who are already over committed.

CONS

For the most part I think it's great, but there is a lot of information/features in a lot of different places on the administrator side, and not always intuitive on where to go for certain administrative functions.

Reason for choosing Chronus

I don't remember the names of the other companies we looked at, but Chronus offered the most features that could meet all of our needs.

Vendor Response

Chronus Tool Useful for Supporting a Learning Culture

Overall, Chronus has been helpful in creating a learning culture for our business. I just wish there was a way to incorporate the application into employees' everyday tool kit so it is used more often (currently it's used once then mostly forgotten). I do realize that mentoring isn't a constant thing employees seek, so it's nice to know we have a tool in place to address their need when it arises.

PROS

My team and I enjoy how customizable the tool is and how helpful Chronus's Customer Success Managers have been in making sure we succeed with the system.

CONS

The software is a bit clunky. As an admin it can be difficult finding the right field/feature as there are several areas to look. Also, the matching algorithm seems a bit off.

Vendor Response

Hi Stacy, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're thrilled to hear that you and your team are enjoying the customizability of our tool and the support provided by our Customer Success Managers. We appreciate your feedback regarding the software's clunkiness and matching algorithm, as we're always striving to improve our product. We'll definitely take your comments into consideration as we continue to enhance the user experience. If you have any further suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you again for choosing Chronus!

BBBS Chronus Review

Overall, our organization has had a successful partnership with Chronus as a way to help mentors and mentees connect through online activities, video conferencing, and messaging. We value most how easy to use it is.

PROS

That the tool is easy to use and has both a url and app for users. That we have tech support through a very engaged manager. That there are multiple features to help with keeping our matches/users engaged. The virtual conferencing feature has been a huge added bonus during social distancing. Very much enjoy that the messaging feature has the ability to include attachments.

CONS

Would like if the video conferencing feature worked in the App. Recommend that it is more visually appealing/engaging for youth programs.

Reasons for switching to Chronus

We wanted the ability to edit our curriculum and serve more youth.

Vendor Response

Tara, thanks for your insightful feedback. We appreciate you continuing to be a collaborative partner. We'll make sure to pass this along to our Product team, as well as your Customer Success Manager, to make sure they know how you'd like to see the platform evolve.

Best Mentoring Software on the Market

The global impact we've had while using the Chronus software is one of the most remarkable factors in what keeps our program running so effectively. Our customer base is truly located around the globe, and thanks to Chronus's smart software and technology we have been able to effectively connect more than 12,500 individuals for powerful mentoring experiences.

PROS

The flexibility, customer service and customization of this software is what makes it unique to any other mentoring software on the market.

CONS

I would like to see phone/text integration with the platform so notifications can me sent to mobile devices outside of the app.
