    If you are going to scale a mentoring program with 50+ users (mentor and mentees) you need software, to get out of the "matching" game, this is a Chronus positive. You also want an ongoing pulse on how it's going, whos looking for a mentor, and adding new users. This is very easy to do with the software.

    Maestro is well suited for demand planning scenarios if you need to adjust your plan based on historical data. With the Demand Override option, the plan can be easily derived to the least granular level of the hierarchy. There are ML features to handle the outliers in our plan. This is less appropriate if you want to migrate more custom and complex logic from SAP APO.

    • Customer Support - I appreciate that I always get a quick response, if not immediate with easy to follow solutions to my concerns/issues. Their customer support team is always positive, friendly and helpful!
    • Easy to Learn and Understand - I am not great with technology but I find Maestro easy to learn, use and navigate. It is very user friendly.
    • Ability to Easily Update Charges - I appreciate the ease of access to Member and guest billing and folios and how easy it is for me to post, remove or reverse charges as need be.
    • One Interface - I appreciate being able to track member information and reservations in one area! What a great tool.

    Cons
    Chronus
    • Mentoring software is only as good as we provide good internal mentors so accountably is on us to bolster the system with good mentors.
    • When I evaluate the satisfaction of our mentees I need to hear "my mentor was great" and this is not a software result but a human result.
    • Many of my Chronus contacts have changed over the years, sometimes I feel I know more than them.

    • No ability to view contact information from a home screen (must click into profile to see phone number)
    • Feels a bit archaic
    • Would be nice to see "flags" or ways to mark students for calling
    • Wish that the 'attempted call' option turned a student yellow instead of keeping them red

    Maestro is what we are comfortable with and probably what we'll stay with, but it can be slow at times and lacks certain functionalities

    AI guidance can be used to identify the outliers with minimal time. The system will provide the high-priority exceptions with clear context and suggested actions. If we modify the forecast, it will immediately recalculate the capacity, component availability, and margin impacts. Demand Preview and Supply Network planning can provide KPIs like Total Demand and Total Supply forecast. These KPIs can be used to check the performance of the production plants.

    I love Maestro support! They are always available or get back to you quickly. The employees that work at Maestro must get treated well because they are always positive and patient on the phone with me. And, even though I am not great with technology they always help me find a solution.

    These are a "spectrum" of software options, some more sophisticated than others depending on the need. There is no 1 and done tool, so we use a few. Some are for all EEs, some are for 100s, and some are for 10s of EEs. Chronus works well for our mentoring need their value is good. The most recent similar tool I evaluated is MentorEase. MentorEase seems to do much of the same at a lower price but I did not like the UI nor was the rep easy to understand. MentorEase may be good to match up new EEs with a "buddy". Chronus is more powerful we match on more sophisticated attributes.

    I have experience with SAP IBP in my previous organization. Compared to IBP, Maestro uses the concurrent planning engine. The Performance of Maestro is better. SAP IBP is mainly built for the SAP Environment. Maestro can be used with different ERP systems as well. We were having some non-APO market planning. Maestro can be used to address this scenario as well.

    • At one point our step pricing was not working properly so we did lose some room revenue. Maestro helped us get this resolved.
    • Maestro saves time, which saves money, by having all of our member billing, reservations and more in one location.
    • No other impacts that I can think of.
