    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    Less Appropriate Scenarios- A fintech company has highly specialized or industry-specific workflows that are not easily accommodated within the standard capabilities of Khoros Care. In such cases, the platform may be less appropriate for businesses with extremely unique processes that require a high degree of customization. Well suited- financial institutions face a high volume of customer inquiries related to account management, transactions, and security concerns. Khoros Care's security features, automation capabilities, and integration with banking systems make it suitable for managing customer interactions in the financial services sector.

    Orum
    Orum is especially well-suited for companies that have high top-of-funnel activity metrics. High-velocity and high-volume sales are more easily facilitated by Orum. Orum is especially useful for industries where cold calling still means conversion. Orum is a must-have in any early-stage startup's tech stack.

    Pros
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    • Tagging system - it's possible to add a wide variety of labels and categories
    • Search feature - being able to find users by conversation number, username, or keywords makes it easier to navigate old conversations
    • Easy system for assigning conversations to other users
    • When you claim a conversation, it gets removed from the queue. This is much more visually explicit than Khoros Marketing's queue, for example, where all content remains visible in the queue and a bookmark gets moved around to distinguish the point where other users left off

    • Streamlines the dialing process. Reps can easily move from dialing one prospect to the next.
    • Easily integrates with Outreach & Salesforce to ensure the correct data is fed to the correct Rep at the correct time.
    • Gives our leadership the ability to listen & coach on live calls
    • Easily manage users within the app - licensing and permissions are simple.

    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.

    • Calls get cut off more regularly than I would expect. I am not sure if that is an issue on Orum's end, but I don't think it is a network issue either so I am not sure why.
    • In the search lists, it would be nice if we could add favorite cadences or separate by our own.

    Simply, there isn't anything on the market that is quite as personable as Khoros Care. After using a few different client messaging systems, this program gave the closest feel to in-person interaction that we could get during the COVID-19 epidemic and is an important part of our agency still to this day in 2023.

    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.

    Very easy to pick up and use. I was involved in the trial phase all the way through to implementation, and actually defined the internal Orum process for the company. Given my involvement I was very hands on and involved in training the bulk of the team, and found that many if not all users picked the tool up very quickly and it was very easy to document the process due to the usability. The only sticking point tended to be the CRM integration for loading in contacts to lists as this was a little bit fiddly, however the actual tool is super easy to use

    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

    I have not needed to interact with their support team yet, so I cannot give a valid response. So far, their tool is simple and straightforward to use.

    Implementing the platform was not a big hassle for our client, it was seamless and easy we just had to follow a few steps and it was done. Just scaling was a bit of an issue but it got resolved with time and a bit of effort at both ends

    Khoros is more than just a platform for social publishing. No other competitor provides the in-depth moderation and social listening services that they do. If you're looking for a one-stop-shop of a platform for all things social, this is the tool to be using. Others are better in usability and innovative functionality.

    I have both Orum and Outreach but use Orum for instances where I need to call at scale. Outreach is designed for one-off calls but does not have nearly the breadth and quality of resources for dialing at scale that Orum does.

    Of course as the company grows owing to its growing customer base, they need to think of out-of-the-box solutions to offer its clients and customer satisfaction is one of them. Retention is very much needed in competitive environment like today and hence it becomes imperative for companies to find different ways to reach their client basis and fix their issues

    • As a BDR, setting meetings is how I get most of my Bonus, and Orum has allowed me to do this more easily by reaching more prospects
    • Whereas before I may only be able to make 500 calls a week if I really grinded, I can make 1,000+ calls a week using Orum even easier
    • Orum's masking of my number has allowed me to get on the phone with folks that had seemingly been ghosting me for months, which has allowed me to grow my business
