    We have saved time and resource in matching and on-boarding (uploading of users) which has been great and I am looking forward to taking this further this year with other processes. The team are incredibly supportive and helpful as we moved through the integration and embedding of the new processes (thank you!) The portal is easy to use as an administrator to track users and engagement which is ideal.

    Pros:
    Integration was easy with our existing processes – we were looking to automate and streamline a lot of our activity (and found that this was particularly the case for matching or re-matching and tracking engagement to send reminders). I think we could take this even further and look to redesign some processes now that we are more familiar with the portal. For example, in how we track activity and collect pre- and post-mentoring evaluation. The most impactful features have been in the matching, searching for pairs and users, and updating their information as well as sharing news bulletins and resources. The portal is very intuitive and easy to use.
    Cons:
    We have struggled with loading the user management page as well as some users reporting that they have not received login details if they request a link to reset their password. There is more I would like to explore and understand for example in the user-led matching and updates to profiles.

    Reasons for choosing sfG MentorNet

    Alternative providers were unable to meet the requirements of our safeguarding policy. Plus, the MentorNet team were incredibly friendly and helpful.

    Reasons for switching to sfG MentorNet

    e Mentor Pro did not have capacity to support the growth in our programmes.

    Pros:
    It is simple to use and easy to train our mentors on. It puts us at the forefront of reporting contact between mentors and mentees. As a mentoring charity this is extremely helpful in demonstrating best practice that we believes assists us in securing grant funding. It is also an excellent means of logging contact where meetings occur between adults and young people in a way that adheres to our child protection policy. Lastly it is an excellent administrative tool to allow for the processing of expenses and in an organisation like our own where staff resources are limited it provides an excellent means of monitoring contact in our charity community.
    Cons:
    I feel unable to criticise the software not least because it is so simple for our mentors and mentees to use. We do on occasion have problems with mentors using the software but we believe this is more a problem with the individual rather than the software. Consequently we recognise that a small number of our volunteers are perhaps unsuited to this type of online accessible software. When asked, 90% of mentors agree that it makes their job simpler and leaves them more free time to spend on the face to face side of our program.

    Pros:
    There are so many things to like about this software, the best feature for us is mentee lead matching as it has significantly reduced admin time. The ability to manage multiple schemes through the system has also been of great benefit as we now have 9 different mentoring schemes that are managed by mentor leads, as well as a coaching scheme.
    Cons:
    There is some difficulty with naming of fields to make the system adapable for managing both coaching and mentoring schemes, however these have been minimal.

    It was the best fit for our needs, and also highly recommended by other Universities who were already using it.

    Pros:
    The software is easy to use - for administrators but also for programme participants. The report function allows regular reporting at the click of a mouse and reports allow administrators to track interactions and see who might need more support rather than trying to support everyone. Overall it has expelled waste from our processes and offers a much more time efficient way of administrating programmes.
    Cons:
    There's not really anything to like least about this software as it's met the needs we identified for our programme requirements.

    easing the admin burden

    5

    Our mentoring programme operates across a number of participating universities and is also a positive action programme so mentees are drawn from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. We also had two streams running at once. This required a number of bespoke solutions to be identified and implemented. It was really helpful to have regular meetings with sfG Software to work through this together and find solutions that worked for us.
