CloudTalk vs. Khoros Care

Cloudtalk is by far the best value-for-price software out there for call center solutions. Packed with features, very accessible, kind and accessible customer support, and cheap, especially when compared with their competitors for the same range of features. Easy entry-level software, especially if you're a startup that doesn't want to make big initial commitments but needs a solution that scales with the business.

Customer profile capabilities are a great way to continue to monitor a single user across all platforms. The Manage view leaves a lot to be desired as the experience is very click-intensive and doesn't allow for bulk actions on items. This can make the process of working from a "zero queue" quite time-consuming. Supervisor view should either not be dropped for this very reason, or Manage should be able to perform bulk actions.

• I would like to be able to see deleted comments/tweets so we can look into the issues.

Khoros Care has continued to provide exactly what we need, or work with us to get what we need to help our customers. They are timely in their assistance when there are technical issues, and they always keep us in the loop when there is an ongoing issue that impacts us

CloudTalk is super easy to use and has a great quality. It helps to communicate with the clients easily and we can feel that the sound quality is high, while speaking to the client and while listening to the recordings. This is for our department essential in our day to day work.

The ability to auto tag, manually tag, make notes, and "snooze" posts is extremely helpful. The efficiency of the work flow for agents is also a huge plus. It keeps agents moving quickly and prioritizing responses for the cases that need it most.

No issues.

No issues.

They are skilled, experienced, and anytime I need something and contact the support time, I get the right person who understands my needs and reacts to them accordingly. So far I was only pleasantly surprised by the level of support these guys provide and coming from a customer service oriented background myself, I can only say keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job!

Khoros Support has always very responsive and helpful when it comes to getting my issue/inquiry addressed. Their ticket portal is great for tracking any open tickets and they can be updated via the portal or by responding to the email thread. Support reps are always extremely knowledgeable and care about getting you taken care of

The team received training (from the same executive team member who has been supporting us) over the web and this was of very high quality.

The implementation was carried out by a previous employee who left the organisation, however, because of the nature of the industry, we're frequently updating new processes. The setup of Khoros Care was quite simple to follow and update previous information that was done before I took over.

It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before.

It would be too long to list every pro and con. However, Khoros Care is built for asynchronous digital engagement and it shows throughout most of its features. It performs better, the agent workflow is better, and the reporting and analytics are better. On top of that, it requires a lot less people dedicated to administering the tool. This tool is way more agile, to the point where some changes in Khoros Care can be done in a few clicks. Whereas, for other tools, it took us hours if not days of work to do something similar.

Scalability has been easy. As we have grown and more customers have reached out to our digital platform, Khoros Care has been easy to work with and assess our next steps. Additionally, they are regularly integrating new platforms and tools that grow as our digital presence grows and our customers flow into those platforms.

• For a similar price it is not necessary to manage so many cell phone accounts
• Unlike basic telephony. It is possible to have more control of the interactions with our clients.
• For administrators it allows better control of commercial actions or the corresponding area for communication issues

• Less overheads due to automated features in the tool.
• Stopped using external survey tools and used care CSAT surveys, this resulted in cost-cutting.
• Saving time by responding to customers quicker.
• Ability to manage different channels in one platform and unified reporting.
