PushFar

Avantages

The product is extremely easy to set up & customize as you need to. The automatic matching feature allows us to easily recommend mentors for mentees. It is great to be able to see a full list of everyone involved to understand the needs of mentees & how our program can grow over the next year. The free trial allowed us to easily set up our mentorship program & the PushFar team is always extremely responsive & helpful when we encountered technical issues.

Inconvénients

We did not find anything difficult to use & I can't think of any cons to the product.

Pourquoi passer à PushFar

Avantages

The software is extremely user friendly an not overcomplicated. It has all the features needed to instigate and maintain a mentoring relationship. We are still in the process of integrating teams/outlook calendars with the platform which I think will be highly beneficial for users.

Inconvénients

Only con is people not being able to reinstate an expired pairing request, which often happens.

Pourquoi passer à PushFar

Avantages

Its a simple yet effective platform.
Powerful in that it can connect so many people actively seeking to mentor or be a mentee - so the experience starts as a positive one straight away.
Its easy to set yourself up and I found a mentor quickly.
The platform continues to improve but the functionality for the purpose is there and can only continue to get better.

Inconvénients

Initial navigation to setting up the meeting/goals but this has already improved.

Avantages

I like the way PushFar is an interactive platform. I can ask questions on this platform and I am confident that there will always be somebody available to answer my questions in the space of one or two days.

Inconvénients

I cannot access PushFar without an internet connection. This means that when I am away on vacation or on a road trip I cannot access the PushFar platform to ask important questions about career development and/or career progression in my professional life

Avantages

Possibility to find QA Engineer position!

Inconvénients

It would be great to add QA Engineers job openings (available for Ukraine) on for Pushafar email sendings (once per week):)

Avantages

Ease of use and simplicity. It follows a core model without the addition of fluff features that bring little to no value. The networking process is much easier in comparison to other platforms like LinkedIn. It also has an international presence so it is easy to seek out individuals from all over the world

Inconvénients

Lack of particular features that would enhance the overall site. Examples more badges to encourage user participation, a feature for group mentoring, and an online suggestion box instead of having to go to the creator directly. Last but not least, many users do not use the site as it is intended.

Avantages

I was able to connect with a new mentor super quick, and new mentees. The product is clear, effective and easy to use and links you up with great matches for your goals.

Inconvénients

Nothing that I can think of, it works exactly how I needed it to.

Avantages

Easy to use with some amazing features. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Inconvénients

So far, nothing! It's a very good software to use to learn.

Avantages

- Connecting with Mentors and Mentees
- Staying organised with goals
- Connecting with a likeminded community
- Free to use

Inconvénients

- Its a new platform but functionality is being added all the time

Avantages

The software is brilliant and so easy to use! It allows you a complete bespoke package to work for your organisation, and the customer support is instant and supportive.

Inconvénients

There is nothing I dislike about this software.

Avantages

The product is extremely user-friendly and when we have questions about extending the use of the platform, or suggestions about potential useful features, the PushFar team is exceptional in customer service. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] really knows his stuff and is accomplished at explaining to others in a motivating and supportive way.

Inconvénients

Uploading articles to the Thread. This is apparently in the pipline though. PushFar is always one step ahead of the game!

Avantages

I have been able to establish very productive mentoring relationship with women from other countries who are not able to pay for a mentor, this allows me to have a flexible volunteering experience myself. As a professional coach and mentor and a business owner, I have some ideas and tools that I can share with them to add value to them while at the same time gaining experience with people from a wide range of sectors I would not usually be able to speak with.

Inconvénients

Training for incoming and experienced Mentors would be something to add in so that we can share knowledge on the platform, I feel quite disconnected from the PushFar team most of the time, I just use the platform but I do not feel part of the team. We could arrange workshops and share ideas and get to know the other mentors perhaps but this is not offered. Many many times, I message people asking for them to meet up (either as a mentor or mentee) but they ignore me, it can get a little demotivating to keep trying constantly

Avantages

There are two things that for me set PushFar apart from others in the market - their end-to-end customer service and the functionality of their product. There are no bounds to the support and expertise [sensitive content hidden] and his team provide, and I like the additional things they willingly offer like internal webinars and podcasts that help embed mentoring as a value-add. The platform is superb - easy to set up and with user-friendly functionality. Goal setting and meeting set-up via integrated calendars is great - it keeps everything in one place! There are a huge variation of members, which means more choice for our users, and hopefully better fit and outcomes for them personally.

Inconvénients

No difficulties experiences at all.

Avantages

I recently started using PushFar to help me find mentors in my field, and I have been extremely impressed with the results. The software is user-friendly and makes it easy to search for mentors based on specific criteria such as industry, experience level, and skills.The mentors I found through PushFar especially [sensitive content hidden] , were highly qualified and experienced in their field, and they were all willing to share their knowledge and provide guidance. The mentors were able to provide me with valuable insights and advice that helped me improve my skills and achieve my professional goals.One of the things I liked most about PushFar was the communication tools it provided. It made it easy to schedule meetings and stay in touch with my mentors, which was crucial for maintaining a productive mentorship relationship.Overall, I highly recommend PushFar to anyone looking for a mentor. It's a great tool that helped me find some of the best mentors in my field and has been instrumental in my professional development.

Inconvénients

PushFar is like a fairy godmother, it's just magical! I don't know what I would do without it. I haven't found any cons yet and I have looked high and low like a true detective, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any! I'm just gonna keep using it and loving it like a crazy person.

Avantages

Pushfar is easy to manage as an administrator and easy for our users to use. As a growing service within the organisation the Pushfar team have been so helpful and quick to respond to any questions we may have regarding Pushfar. Pushfar has allowed our company to have a programme that allows our Members to have control over their career development and development to become chartered members without us having to be as involved as we have been previously.

Inconvénients

No there's not currently something that we feel is missing. As we progress with the platform some things may come up but the team are always open and transparent on what the system can do.

Avantages

The algorithms that pick the suitable candidates to help you and ones you can assist.

Inconvénients

Not up to so far. I've not had any least appreciated moments.

Avantages

PushFar's platform is extremely easy to use and allows me to manage my own mentoring relationships and report on our entire organisation's mentoring quickly and effectively. If anyone is looking to run a mentoring programme, they need PushFar. Not only is it fantastic at matching people together but it also is immensely effective at ensuring our mentoring pairs are engaged and stay on track with mentoring activities.

Inconvénients

Nothing! It serves the purpose we need and whenever we've had suggested or requested additional features, PushFar have delivered them quickly and effectively.

Avantages

It allows our members to network and connect freely without internal support. The programme allows members to be very specific in what they are looking for and the support they need. The ability to track all progress, goals and outcome.

Inconvénients

Currently there isn't a con to the programme. Would be great to look to expand and progress with our members.

Avantages

User friendly a d easy to administrate, allows individuals to manage their own relationships and see who is on the platform most suitable to support them.

Inconvénients

There is nothing we don't like, can' think of how to make it even better.

Avantages

PushFar's platform has been a brilliant, engaging and inspiring mentoring experience. I've mentored people on PushFar's software for more than 3 years now and found it brilliant. The platform is easy to use, engaging and highly effective for mentors, mentees and mentoring program managers. Highly recommended!

Inconvénients

Ease of use and relevance to my interest in mentoring

Avantages

Simple, effective, easy to use, broader appeal so it's not just a mentoring programme. Integration into our HRIS allowed us to open our population up to so much more through mentoring. It allowed us to open our colleagues up to a diverse network of people, not just in our own business, but externally as well. Global reach and utterly amazing.

Inconvénients

As with any new technologies, there's always a couple of little teething issues. The team at PushFar are amazing and sorted them.

Avantages

PushFar is extremely easy to use, while offering a comprehensive and extensive list of features to help our employees manage their mentoring relationships, and management to see what is happening. Great onboarding experience (took less than a week from contract to our first mentor matches), and very innovative feature releases.

Inconvénients

Nothing yet. Any features lacking are always quickly added by their team.

Avantages

It’s very easy to request a mentoring relationship (mentor/mentee), super easy to schedule a meeting, follow up etc. Mentoring really made easy and pleasantly amazing! Thanks Pushfar

Inconvénients

This software is so well done and perfect which makes it impossible to find any “cons”.
I love Pushfar!

Avantages

PushFar has enabled us to offer a larger mentoring service to our employees - based on employees being at the heart of profile creation and matching. The training resources available in the platform guide people accordingly and we have been able to create sub-platforms within our main platform for targeted groups and initiatives (e.g. diverse mentoring groups linked to programmes).

Inconvénients

The software and platform is excellent. The MI available is great when you can get your employees to keep logging their mentoring goals and meetings in the platform - that is an organisational challenge

Avantages

It’s simple and easy to use. Clear and well structured web page, easy to search for mentors and group ‘skills and behaviours’

Inconvénients

I’m not a fan of using the scheduling software but that’s about it
