Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
Khorus care is built to maximize digital customer service; Strong and intuitive, it excels in workflow management, offering configurable automatic routing of incoming traffic, priority routing, and queue management, preventing "cherry-picking"; rich reporting and analytics functionality allows for analysis of performance metrics at a finer level; and it's super easy to integrate with all of your social media accounts. Though that isn't really an issue of the app, I believe Khorus care should focus on improving the general monotony of social media.

Provide Support Live Chat
Provide Support Live Chat is a very user friendly tool. It allows my Customer Service Team to perform their daily duties and easily access live chats when needed. It's really great because we can ask for contact information so we can research questions if needed and then reply back in a timely manner. Our customers and potential customers can always have access to a live person.

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.

Most of the things they claim work fine but they can still improve on certain areas as ease of integration, the pricing can be matched better as its a bit on the costly side. Other than these things its a great platform for social media integration at one place without any hassle to log into various famous platforms separately to cater to customer queries and issues

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.

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

Alternatives Considered
Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
Both Khoros and Zendesk offer robust customer engagement solutions, but Khoros stands out in several ways. While Zendesk provides excellent ticketing and support functionalities, Khoros extends beyond traditional customer service, offering a comprehensive suite that includes social media management, community engagement, and broader digital care solutions.Khoros' strength lies in its ability to consolidate interactions from various digital touchpoints seamlessly, allowing for a unified approach to customer engagement across multiple channels. Its advanced analytics and automation capabilities empower businesses to derive deeper insights from customer interactions, facilitating data-driven decision-making.While Zendesk is exceptional for ticketing and support, Khoros' versatility and scalability make it stand out for companies aiming for a holistic, digital-first approach to customer engagement. Khoros' emphasis on integrating social media, messaging, and community management into one cohesive platform provides a more comprehensive view of customer interactions.Therefore, based on my experience with both platforms, if you're looking for a solution that encompasses a wider spectrum of digital customer engagement, offers deeper analytics, and seamlessly handles diverse channels, Khoros would be the optimal choice.

We elected to continue with Provide Support Live Chat because it was more economical compared to Salesforce's option. While Salesforce contained more integration options, we did not see the need to dramatically increase our costs just to have direct integration with Salesforce records and accounts. We haven't evaluated other options since we are happy with Provide Support Live Chat.

Scalability
Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
Khoros Care has allowed us to stream all channels into one place, and has continued to allow growth as we've added other Social Media accounts to the list, we are up to at least 15, and that number keeps growing. It has saved so much time for us because we use one tool for a majority of our work now

  • I was not a part of the business decision to start using Provide Support Live Chat. I have been with the company for 6 years and I can say it is well worth it.
