Khoros CareVonage Contact Center for Salesforce

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.

If an organiziation was fully on Salesforce and rely on that type of routing, I would recommend Vonage to them. They would also need a good support system to be able to build/maintain and manage it as well. If they do not need this or have the bandwidth, I would not recommend this product at all. They also struggled with our billing and could not tell us what they were charging for

Pros
Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
  • 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.
  • Khoros Care has great analytics. I like the customizable dashboards; we use them for weekly reports to upper management.
  • Khoros Care helps our social media manager manage and monitor our teams.

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 (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
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

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.

Noble was the outgoing system. If you are in the UK, then you find that there is little support from the US function for any challenges you face. It feels like Noble is aware of Salesforce, however it doesn't really integrate with Salesforce. Natterbox also looked like a good product, however I feel they are a little while off being on the same level as New Voice Media. It's worth throwing them in the mix with any consideration though.

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
