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.
Zendesk Chat is suited for all the support teams that provide real-time assistance. Like if someone wants to block the debit/credit card, it is a high-priority case that needs real-time assistance. Whereas issues like close my account, and invoice request doesn't need real-time assistance, where Zendesk tickets support will be perfect.
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.
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.
Due to staffing issues, we have temporarily stopped offering chat as an available channel. We're also interested in the best ways to integrate chat with our FAQs and AI to provide quick responses, either during off-hours or prior to speaking with a live agent. I've also found that reporting is rather limited where some of the interesting and useful data made available and visible during the chat cannot be pulled post-chat; it would be great to pull a high-level report so we can analyze this data.
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.
Getting assistance and/or troubleshooting anything with Zendesk can be quite frustrating. In my years of experience with Zednesk, I have almost never found the answer to my question without going through multiple articles, ultimately getting frustrated and reaching out to our contact for more assistance. So for a consumer, the support is not as relieving as Zendesk Chat is to our customers in getting the questions answered by us.
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.
I prefer Zendesk Chat (formerly Zopim) over Talkdesk, as it provides customers with written proof of their conversation and customers are able to rate the conversation once it is done. Also, it's easier to find a previous conversation in Zendesk Chat (formerly Zopim) than in Talkdesk.
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.
Positive impact - Compared to our old system, this newly updated system provides features and functionality that has increased our agent productivity and provided customer insight like we've never had before. This has resulted in fewer hold times and higher customer satisfaction.
Negative impact - Our reporting team still struggles with obtaining the right information from time to time with the chats. This leads to loss of productivity and more resources dedicated to reporting.
Positive impact - Due to Zopim's embed, we are able to more successfully place them on the appropriate self-service portals and pages, reaching a larger audience, and being more readily available to answer our client's questions. This has resulted in an increase in our self-service portal usage, driving down the phone and email support channels, which in turn reduces support costs.
