Chronus Pros and Cons

Chronus is an easy-to-use and intuitive platform that requires minimal training for users. I was impressed by the reports that provide meaningful data for better decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hope the mentors will be able to view the matching % soon. Now only mentees can view the %. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am completely happy with our partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Chronus has an excellent matching software that really helps mentees match with a qualified mentor in the region that they are seeking help. The Chronus team is also fantastic at supporting you on the backend to create forward-thinking solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I don't really like about Chronus is that it is difficult to use for people that are not computer savvy. This creates the problem of a lot of hand-holding and walking through people step by step. They have resources that can help with this, but the user must be able to access them or want to learn and that isn't typical of alot of our clients at the IWBC.

I love the tools that allow a snapshot of current activities. We also like the surveys! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish that we could easily integrate with Handshake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoyed the versatility of the program for a mentorship program that paired graduate students with high schoolers. We were able to make the mentors and mentees each view discussion topics based off of our own monthly curriculum, and this facilitated monthly discussions very well. In addition, the staff at eMC were very helpful in setting up the website program, answering all of our questions, and consistently checking on our data to ensure we were getting the best return on our investment- they did not leave us on our own after purchasing a license.

Another thing that our team really enjoyed was the ability to integrate SurveyMonkey links into each month's discussion topic content for our program. The links for each month- relevant to mentors and mentees- were created by eMC staff, and this eased the burden on program administrators due to time constraints. These surveys gave our team a great idea on what was working, what was not working, and how to improve the program overall based on the input of both mentors and mentees.

There were a lot of little pages that had to be traversed on the website to create our own monthly discussion topic posts for both mentor and mentee to see, so there was a little bit of clunkiness to the site on the admin side. Also, the matching process for pairing a mentor-mentee partnership with a discussion topic for each month would require us to individually match partnerships to a topic, which would take up a considerable amount of time.

Initially, during launch, the high school students in our program experienced issues logging into the site. Many of these issues may have occurred due to inadequate understanding of the website, or even minimal use of email inboxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it is super easy to match with a mentor that has the same goal as you and can help you grow in areas that you need the most. There are varieties of mentors on eMentorConnect and I am amazed at how everyone is super willing to help out. My mentor reached out to me to schedule meetings plenty of times. I felt like she actually cared about my well being and I also admire her a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hope that one day eMentorConnect can connect people in real life instead of limiting to virtually. This would allow us to meet more people with different interests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface for eMentorConnect is organized and clean. I used the platform for an online networking program. When I first used eMentorConnect, I was able to find my way around it very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, I felt that there was an overwhelming amount of information packed onto a single page. I felt that there could be a more compact way to display and arrange the information on a page, along with graphics such as images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to share best practices is the best feature. This is particularly useful if you have mentors that are new to being a mentor and need to understand the best practices of being a mentor. You can embed the best practices into each of the steps of being a mentor too, so there is a step-by-step guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not too sure about some of the measurements that are provided and if they provide real value. It is nice to have statistics, but I don't know if you can measure how successful a mentor or mentee is based on the number of meetings. What this does allow is to show company-wide efforts and statistics about the program as a whole. I think the measurement feature is more for general macro use, not micro use.

I love Chronus because of its ability to manage data from each individual employee. It tracks accurately, and employees have no trouble accessing information in or out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing I strongly dislike about the product, at least not enough to comment on it. It's overall a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
