    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.

    I think Vantage Circle is a great idea and would recommend all the organizations to use it to motivate and reward their employees. As of now I don't see any scenario which is less appropriate. This initiative definitely works well for larger companies and gives good flexibility to the managers to reward their teams.

    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.

    • There are 100+ options to choose from. Very wide range of options - catering to a wide spectrum of people from all walks of life, age, taste, and background with diverse options.
    • I never ever faced any issue- not even once, at the time of redemption & it was a smooth, seamless, wonderful & pleasant experience for me, always! Also, the redemption process is simple & could be done within a minute!
    • This redemption could be used not only for any tangible purchases - also for invaluable experiences like holidays, fine dining, Hotel stays, Donations, Taxi rides, etc.

    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.

    Vantage Circle is better in terms of being more user-friendly and has a lot of different e-commerce sites to choose from ranging from food, fashion, health to travel and sports. It provides additional cashback if we order products from their platform which is an added advantage. The best thing is that there is no expiry date for the points earned.

    I have never came across a scenario when the Vantage Circle was down or inaccessible and I was not able to redeem the vantage points. The platform is always available and the redemption process is very fast. Never faced the issue with the delay in the redemption of Vantage points.
