SocialBro is appropriate in any company that wants to manage its community of followers effectively. It is an indispensable tool for any agency that wants to do a professional job in social media.

Khoros is well suited in providing a reliable, organized outlet in conversations to schedule and publish content. In addition, it is well-suited in providing analytical insights, however it would be helpful for more insights on Instagram + paid posts. An integration with newer social platforms (TikTok, Clubhouse, etc.) would also be needed.

- Strategic Services/Consulting: this team is a true partner to our internal social team.
- Easy publishing & analytics: Khoros Marketing is a great one-stop-shop for all social needs, and the investment in enhancing the paid social elements is exciting.
- Combined Social + Community focus: the way Khoros sees social and community management as one holistic thing is fresh and forward-thinking. It helps our organization/business think outside the box.

- Could have a better UI. Sometimes confusing or hard to navigate.

- Khoros offers a number of platform services, but so many that it tends to be overwhelming at points.
- We would like to see a little more transparency with the company. Several months ago Khoros merged with a company called Lithium, and my coworkers and I were not aware of the change until we attending their conference in Texas.
- There seems to be a lot of turnover. In my 2.5 years working with Khoros our account has had a handful of different account managers, sometimes making it hard to keep up.

There is no product like Khoros. Our company lives and dies by the analytics, and to date, we have not seen a more comprehensive analytics structure for any social media management tool. Khoros support is also fantastic, responding and resolving any and all questions, ideas, or complaints, usually in 24 hours.

Khoros Marketing is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. The calendar visibility is the view I use most so I can see all posts going out on all of our channels. It allows us to time posts in a proper cadence so we don't overlap with other pressing content.

Khoros has greatly improved the performance of its SaaS products in the last 5 years. Their applications, including Conversations, Intelligence, and Experiences, all load quickly with real-time data. This performance is critical to provide meaningful, social customer support, and marketing. The performance maintains integrity even when you deploy powerful integrations like Salesforce Customer Relationship Manager.

The Khoros support team is on point! Anything you need, they have you covered. Even when you don't think you need something, they're there to check-in, see how things are going, suggest coaching sessions, make recommendations - they're so attentive and hospitable, it's amazing! I'm impressed with their level of service.

• As a very early customer, we did not undergo formal training but worked closely with the team to get the system set up to do what we wanted. However, online training resources are now available with many blog posts / video lessons and tutorials.

it is important to note that my perspective is not necessarily common - I'm a geek/nerd/poweruser in general, so I found the online resources to be more than adequate (and often very aesthetically pleasing, too). That said, a less "geeky" person might struggle a bit.

The implementation team from Khoros were great - they worked hard to understand our somewhat complex organization, and were with us all the way through face to face meetings, user training, and technical training. We had a clearly defined account manager and implementation manager, who worked really effectively together and with us.

I chose SocialBro many years ago because I believed it was the first important and accessible tool for effective management of social media communities.
CEO Servilia
IMFMarketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees
Khoros Marketing (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
I suggested and selected Khoros as the best contender, as the platform would eliminate many, if not all, manual processes and procedures for capturing the overall global social perspective of our organization, from all managed social sites efficiently and accurately.

I think it is so simple to use and learn. It gives you all the information and metrics that I would need all in one place. You are able to create multiple campaigns in a very organized way. It has all social media platforms all in one place and a great understandable and clean interface.

- Great communication within the tool cuts down on the numbers of emails.
- Getting everyone to use the same tool reduces redundancies.
- The strong analytics function may negate the need for a separate analytics tool like Quintly or Simply Measured.
- Training was easy and not time intensive.
