Khoros Care vs. Verint Monet

Khoros Care is great for quick responses on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, which are our three most used platforms. Based on what I have seen, it would be better to have a more in-depth review module that allows for better response capability. Right now, it seems that Khoros Care only allows us a bird's eye view of sentiment and issues, versus handling all responses across various review platforms.

Verint Monet has been a great tool for someone, like myself, who has had little to no WFM experience the opportunity to learn and grow along with learning and utilizing the tool. One of the biggest contributors to this success, I feel, is the Verint Monet support team. Our contact center has been able to build a rapport with them and they have a clear understanding of our needs.

• 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.

• Should better show chart for better analysis.
• Filter is resetting every time I open the tool.
• Some reports can be included or combined in one place.

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.

Because it's almost a year and they still haven't fixed the issues we're having in terms of feeding data from Talkdesk OMNIchannel, as promised.

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.

Because the data feed for Chat and Email won't work and I can't forecast w/o the feed or I had to manually import data which consumes a lot of time

No issues.

No issues.

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.

It's hard to report using their new platform. They ask lots of requirements that I think they can replicate. Or better yet, have a call with their customers to get the ticket resolved quicker

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 very easy! They work diligently to ensure that everything that you want to monitor is put into one place eliminating the worry of missed interactions and as needs change the ability to edit what's being searched for is quick and easy to set up.

We previously used Hootsuite. Hootsuite was very clunky for Customer Service, and oftentimes it would end up that agents would accidentally step over each other, send out multiple responses, or struggle to identify posts to work. Hootsuite was more intended for marketing and struggled at times with response. However, Khoros Care is a good balance of both, and also has tools specific to marketing versus customer service. Additionally, Khoros now has far more platforms than we previously had in Hootsuite.

I have had the opportunity to see many of the other Verint Monet products at Engage but our Contact Center does not use them or have a need to at this time.

I see the Khoros team bringing on new employees and different expertise as their platform grows to more brands. They are dedicated to ensure they are growing with their customers and building new products to fulfill the needs of their customers request

• Less overheads due to automated features in the tool.

• Saving time by responding to customers quicker.
• Ability to manage different channels in one platform and unified reporting.
