Khoros Care vs. Ruby Virtual Receptionist Services

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.

Ruby Virtual Receptionist Services is well suited for a business that needs call screening and message-taking services. The service is expensive but if the user is willing to put a lot of time and effort into planning and scriptwriting, as well as call handling instructions, it may work well. Also, if there is not much information that must be captured by the receptionist, I feel this may be a better fit.

• Manages and pulls in posts from communities, Facebook, and Twitter so we can address them in one place as opposed to logging into each site natively.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Clarity in billing.
• Shortened hold times.
• Less transfer time from call to receptionist (between English and Spanish).
• Better training of receptionists to prevent certain things from being said to clients - decreases client confidence.

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.

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 [Care (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)] has made several improvements to its support and engagement for clients. Response times have improved and the need to seek support has drastically reduced, highlighting the improvements in the experience to reduce customer pain.

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 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.

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.

We switched over from Answer First to Ruby Receptionist because we wanted a more full-service answering service. We wanted to be able to call out using our business number as well as text in and out. We also really liked the "call-out request" feature as it freed up our time and allowed Ruby to handle minor client communications, etc.

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.

• 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.
