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.
PROSOur 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.
CONSAs 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.
PROSWe 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.
CONSFor 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
Hi Deirdre, Thank you for your positive review of Chronus! We're thrilled to hear that our software has been beneficial for your organization's mentoring programs. Customizability and data analysis are key features of our platform, and we're glad they have met your needs. It's great to know that the matching capabilities have saved your staff time and improved efficiency. If you ever have any suggestions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your support!

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.
PROSMy 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.
CONSThe 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.
PROSThat 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.
CONSWould 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.
PROSThe flexibility, customer service and customization of this software is what makes it unique to any other mentoring software on the market.
CONSI would like to see phone/text integration with the platform so notifications can me sent to mobile devices outside of the app.

Great Customer Service and Tech Support
Their customer service and tech support are excellent! Any time I log a ticket, the response time is always quick. Most software vendors' tech support service is very slow, and you wait and wait for a response. I've never had a problem in getting a response from Chronus. I can honestly say that in my 30+ years of working with various software and hardware vendors, this is the best tech support service I have ever received. The matching of mentors/mentees is very easy!
CONSIt's a challenge to get end users to use the portal. They'd rather just schedule their meetings in Outlook and then use Teams to document their relationship.
Reason for choosing Chronus
Cost, features, service
Vendor Response
Rita, we're glad to hear you've been well supported by the Chronus team. We hope you feel with Chronus, you never got it alone. Engagement in mentoring connections is first and foremost in our minds as we continue to evolve the Chronus platform, so thank you for the feedback on end user activity. We'll continue to grow the ease and accessibility of the platform for greater use.

Great Tool for Aspiring Teacher Mentoring Program
Great tool for the program we offer.
PROSChronus is instrumental in helping our team manage 150 mentoring relationships. It's our primary tool for communicating with our mentors/mentees and helps us identify who is/is not engaged.
CONSWe struggle with the calendar sync option. There are times we would like our mentors to be able to meet with more than one mentee at the same time - the calendar function does not allow this - which is frustrating.

We are extremely pleased with the quality of the Chronus product and their level of professionalism.
We were able to launch a Global Mentorship Program across 8 locations simultaneously. There was consistency and it was a smooth process for all participants.
PROSThe software is very easy to use and provides a lot of structure for your programs. There are a lot of mechanisms built in to take the day to day administrative duties out of program management. There are great features that allow for you to measure the program's engagement levels across participants. The system has a great streamlined design that is very intuitive, yet complex enough to make mentoring connection matching sophisticated and smart.
CONSThere are some great reports built into the system that allow users to gauge the overall health of the program. I would love it if there could be a bit more flexibility with the design.

Chronus use for sponsors (instead of mentors)
My experience with the software is excellent, and we have renewed for the second year of use. Of utmost importance is the service after the sale. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] from the Chronus team has gone above and beyond to exceed my expectations and her response time is immediate.
PROSWhat was most helpful was the unbiased "matching" of sponsors with their protégés. Also, it is very helpful to utilize the tracking of the "matches," their goals and the automated surveys.
CONSAs I am not an IT guru, there is a heavy lift on getting the software up and running, but the team at Chronus was always ready to assist our IT team to ensure a successful global roll out.
Vendor Response
Eileen, we're honored to be a partner in your DEI strategy at EMD Serono, and glad the platform's configurability allowed you to create an inclusive matching process for your program.

Very Supportive
Excellent
PROSOur technical help, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], is fantastic and is able to answer any questions we may have. Although the software is fairly easy to use, we have run into snags this year with our pilot (due to COVID-19), so [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been there to help us create surveys and additional connection plans that work best with our users.
CONSThe software is slightly confusing to use upon setup, but Chronus will provide appropriate support.

Excellent Product and Outstanding Service!
Pros - The program is just the right size for a business that wants to take a proactive approach to employee development and new employee onboarding. Ease of use - The template is very good, but we customized it to perfectly fit our needs for both employee development/coaching and onboarding. We explored larger vendors but we found the solutions that Chronus had to offer were ideal for a business our size. Most of the larger LMS systems are too robust and too expensive for our needs. The sales team at Chronus was extremely good about answering all of our questions, so that we could make an informed decision. We've been using the system for over a year now and we could not be happier. The customer service is excellent - when we need it, which is rare. Cons - Little things - the system isn't completely perfect in terms of doing everything we want it to, but it's close, and customer support usually has a work around. Bottom line - it's very good solution- especially for small businesses that want a solid, effective onboarding and employee development system that won't break the bank.

Helps our Mentoring program run itself
We are a small shop adding a new mentoring program which we want to be able to scale up while still offering a high quality experience for our mentors and mentees. Chronus helps to bulk match those groups and provides a customizable outline for them to follow through their connection with milestones along the way. They also provide great customer support and training - scheduling weekly meetings with you during the build period to make sure you are setup and ready to go.
