Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
I find Khoros Care quite powerful at tagging and ticket routing of audience conversations, categorising and prioritising the work flow. This has saved us substantial time and we seen an improvement in the customer experience to our customers. Customer agents are knowledgeable to deal with more complex and challenging issues, improving response times and customer satisfaction. The Live Workforce Dashboards are also vital in monitoring agents on a day to day basis.

Playvox is well suited to rate and track process adherence and work quality percentual. It is also great to document coaching and track advisors' development, as well as to do knowledge checks through quizzes. It is not so appropriate if you need to see the previous coachings made, since those cannot be opened when they finished.

Cons
Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
  • I would like to be able to see deleted comments/tweets so we can look into the issues.
  • I would like to be able to better customize dashboards for our exact metrics. Some things previously available in Spredfast are no longer available in Care.

  • The speed of loading the chat that I am evaluating for the customer service representative because sometimes it shows that there is an error in the load.
  • Keep a lot of information
  • It should have more languages for ease of control

Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
I don't see any reason why we would not renew. We have had a great overall experience, and other than some support concerns, everything has run smoothly. In addition to the platform, our experience with the bot has been really good. We average between 25-30% of our volume handled by the bot, while still maintaining easy-to-use offramps for customers.

I do not think my organization has and 2nd thought of changing the Playvox because I am sure they cannot find another option that is as easy and smooth. There is no other option at all. Playvox is being used here in every department and the company cannot run without this. Now it is a basic need of this business

Usability
Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
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.

Playvox is an easy-to-use platform, all features are intuitive, which makes navigation easy. I never found navigation problems, I was always able to find all the items I needed, all the information is well separated, what could improve is the possibility of moving some items, putting the ones that I use the most in evidence.

We have had multiple live trainings (Zoom). The training at the beginning of the set up was top notch. We had some additional questions about coaching and they jumped on the opportunity to help us. We have a designated trainer and account manager.

Implementation Rating
Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
The Khoros team has always been on point for various integration projects. It's important to note, however, a lot of features can be easily implemented without the Khoros team. The only reason I cannot score it higher than a 7 is that some more advanced features, especially in analytics, require you to use their APIs. The APIs are well set up but it could end up being challenging if you have limited expertise or other restrictions with APIs.

From the day first, we were active on Playvox and happy with the features. It does not take much time to understand its features and its performance. A few training sessions with 'How to use' and we are experts using Playvox.

Alternatives Considered
Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
Khoros Care has awesome "ready to send" reports based on analytic views that you can set up. Whether it's reporting on one brand's ad or comparing it to a prior month or year the analytics are very user-friendly with awesome supportive widgets that allow you to view an incredible amount of information not available to use in prior platforms.

I selected Playvox as it is the platform my organization uses. I've never worked with another platform like this. In other companies I worked, procedures, communications, and training were not saved, they were only communicated verbally and sometimes a document with what should be done, but nothing compared to the ease of using a Playvox.

Scalability
Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
I gave this rating because it does just that - it scales volume, channels and has allowed us to grow right along with it easily. When you look at future products, there's no sign of stopping the scalability either. They are looking to grow their platform, making it easy for your company to do the same.
