MentorcliQ Goes Beyond Basic Mentoring Tools

Truly flexible programs built around you

Together works well for a single program mentoring setup, but growing organizations often need more flexibility.

MentorcliQ supports multiple mentoring formats, including 1:1, group, cohort-based, and sponsorship programs, among many others, all within a single platform. That means you can design programs around your goals, not your software’s limits.

Engineered for real-world complexity

When mentoring programs expand across teams, regions, or use cases, rigid workflows can slow everything down.

MentorcliQ offers deeper customization and governance controls, giving program owners and admins alike the ability to adapt programs without workarounds or starting over.

Real Switch from Together to MentorcliQ

Hear from the real decision maker at a US-based multidisciplinary engineering, consulting, and infrastructure services firm who made the switch from Together to MentorcliQ:

And since that is up for renewal, I said, can we pause a minute and see if we can get a quick demo of MentorcliQ and find out what everyone’s talking about before we just re-up the existing tool (Together), which I haven’t been overly wowed by and transparently our participation rate is not where we would like. We don’t have great participation in the existing mentor platform which is just wide open and there’s no guardrails whatsoever.

Measurable ROI and scalable as your programs evolve

Basic participation metrics only tell part of the story.

With MentorcliQ, you get enterprise-grade reporting and insights with proven ROI that help organizations understand engagement, outcomes, and impact.

KeyBank enjoys 55x ROI as a result of 76% decrease in employee turnover.

Software is just the start

Some platforms have limited support, leaving you to figure things out on your own. That’s not the way we do things here.

MentorcliQ pairs powerful technology with hands-on support and mentoring expertise. We help organizations like Sodexo, AMD, and Henry Schein launch mentoring programs faster, improve adoption, and continuously evolve their programs over time.

Why Teams Outgrow Together

It’s true that teams often start with Together for simple mentoring programs. But as programs grow, common challenges begin to surface, especially around matching, scheduling, and administration.

With Together, matching that feels… off

When matches don’t align on goals, style, or context, even the best intentions can stall.

Kousalya L. on G2

“It can sometimes be difficult to match mentors and mentees with complementary goals or styles. This mismatch can make it harder to build a productive and meaningful relationship…”

Jacob R. on G2

“It does not know the relationship of me and my manager… [and] can make some of the questions repetitive or unneeded.”

Together causes more friction in scheduling and calendar

If scheduling feels clunky, people work around the platform—and momentum slips.

Verified User on G2

“The connection with the calendar doesn’t seem very functional… most of the time, the session ends up being scheduled outside of it.”

“The scheduling was clunky… [rescheduling] within the platform… threw off the agenda so they ended up scheduling outside the platform.”

Together widens admin experience and feedback gaps

When admins can’t quickly find what they need—or can’t collect clean feedback—program improvements get harder.

Verified User on G2

“Navigating the admin side of the platform is frustrating. I often find myself clicking through all the different pages trying to find what I need.”

“The survey tool needs to be integrated into the program. It does not work properly and I had to use another platform to get anonymous feedback.”
