Likelihood to Recommend 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.

The large variety of question types helps to keep the survey interesting for the participant. The "smart" question logic is amazing. I love having a follow up question appear depending on how the participant answers a previous question. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Providing users the ability to follow along a specific question example (eg. placeholder text in questions that users can see what the answer might look like) Better media management and implementation (eg. placing images/videos/gifs/etc. as standalone assets in the survey) Making the images added into a survey responsive to the screen they are being viewed on (eg. any images added to a survey do not adjust to the size of the screen, consequently showing up very small on mobile/tablet view) Exporting the survey to Word looks horrible - we'd love if the survey could be exported the way it looks when live into a similar-looking Word document or template Read full review Likelihood to Renew Will definitely use the software again as soon as we need another survey to be conducted.
Read full review Usability Everything on the platform is laid out logically and in a manner that even our less technical administrators can go onto the system and create/manage any surveys or feedback questionnaires. The options for distribution of these surveys are also simple and straight forward with all available choices showing. Our users don't need to know the ins and outs of the system to be able to use it.
Read full review Support Rating I had an issue whereby I used a free trial that ended, locking me out of my account. I contacted their customer service to help with this issue, which they resolved in under half an hour. I was extremely impressed with their speed and quality of service, which led me to filling out this review!
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review I evaluated several different products, including
SurveyMonkey . SoGoSurvey appeared to have the most features at the best value. Unfortunately, the "free" service didn't satisfy our needs and we had to upgrade during the first survey. I found
SurveyMonkey and SoGoSurvey to be very comparable.

The software is very reasonably priced when judged against its functionality. The cost and risk of deploying paper surveys, coupled with the additional time it would take to input the data before analysis, means we have a lot less to worry about, have saved time and money. Data and reputation. Security of data is important to us. Using this software has enhanced our credibility with clients. We're serious about data security and this software shows that we are. Ethics and reputation. We are also serious about achieving the highest ethical standards in research, and nothing in this software impedes our ability to meet these standards. Speed. The online training, all of which has been 1-2-1, helped me get to grips with the software and deploy it quickly. The quality of training is very high indeed. Read full review ScreenShots
