    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    While I cannot say any scenarios where Khoros wouldn't be useful (when it comes to social media moderation), I can say it is very well suited for clients who have time constraints on their work. With the speed Khoros can pull in new content, we see issues for the client almost immediately.

    SellHack is great for anyone who is in sales or whose work requires the need to build lists or to search for missing email addresses. Many businesses and social media sites provide email addresses, but of course depending upon industry many do not, so SellHack is my go to tool when I absolutely have to find an email.

    Pros
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    • Reporting is great - easy to create bespoke dashboards for multiple ways to view the data and trends in platform
    • Onboarding and training - a good repository of knowledge articles for users to access on most aspects of the platform for self-learning
    • The user-friendly and intuitive interface allows any user to quickly assimilate how to use the platform.

    • Often I'll be searching for an email address, so I'll go to LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, Sales Navigator. These are all services the my firm pays for me. But inevitably I will need another sure fire source and SellHack is my go to tool, it will find email addresses often when I can't find them anywhere else.
    • I use Hunter also, but many times I found addresses on SellHack that I couldn't find on Hunter.
    • I love that you can subscribe and purchase various levels of searches per month, or if you want you can buy x amount of searches that don't expire.
    • SellHack has a nice Chrome extension that stays on top so when I'm searching I can click on it from the pull down and enter the data and copy/paste the results into my CRM.

    Cons
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    • Look and feel of the interface could use a refresh as it's not very exciting to use
    • Improve analytics features and accuracy
    • Facilitate bulk actions
    • Better alerts/visibility of collaborative actions and assigned tasks
    • Clearer communication around new feature releases and announcements

    • I wish they had a roll over feature for unused credits on the subscription.
    • SellHack is great for list building, and export to popular CRMs like Salesforce.
    • If you have an email address and you're not sure if it's accurate, SellHack will verify the address and give you a percentage rating on their confidence that the address works (a percentage rating is given for all email searches).
    • I love their referral program: Give 50, Get 50: Refer a friend and you both get 50 free credits! I've used this many times.

    There is no product like Khoros. Our company lives and dies by the analytics, and to date, we have not seen a more comprehensive analytics structure for any social media management tool. Khoros support is also fantastic, responding and resolving any and all questions, ideas, or complaints, usually in 24 hours.

    Usability
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    Khoros Marketing is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. The calendar visibility is the view I use most so I can see all posts going out on all of our channels. It allows us to time posts in a proper cadence so we don't overlap with other pressing content.

    Performance
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    Khoros has greatly improved the performance of its SaaS products in the last 5 years. Their applications, including Conversations, Intelligence, and Experiences, all load quickly with real-time data. This performance is critical to provide meaningful, social customer support, and marketing. The performance maintains integrity even when you deploy powerful integrations like Salesforce Customer Relationship Manager.

    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    Overall, support does a great job and is timely in their responses and efforts. We have had to contact support many times due to the Capture app. Some tickets have remained open for months, while others get resolved quickly. I understand this is not always up to support and they often have to wait for their engineering team to fix issues that we identified, but it's difficult to deal with issues that are affecting our workflow, especially for extended amounts of time.

    In-Person Training
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    • As a very early customer, we did not undergo formal training but worked closely with the team to get the system set up to do what we wanted. However, online training resources are now available with many blog posts / video lessons and tutorials.

    Online Training
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    it is important to note that my perspective is not necessarily common - I'm a geek/nerd/poweruser in general, so I found the online resources to be more than adequate (and often very aesthetically pleasing, too). That said, a less "geeky" person might struggle a bit.

    Implementation Rating
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    The implementation team from Khoros were great - they worked hard to understand our somewhat complex organization, and were with us all the way through face to face meetings, user training, and technical training. We had a clearly defined account manager and implementation manager, who worked really effectively together and with us.

    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    At the time of purchase, Khoros met a specific technical need that other vendors couldn't provide for us. Now, however, Sprout Social has this same capability, and Khoros is massively inferior to it on everything but price and some minor UX issues. At this point Khoros seems to be lagging badly behind most competing products

    Hunter and ZoomInfo are two services that I also use to find email addresses. Generally if I can't find it on one of those SellHack will find it for me, never the other way around. I use them all, but SellHack is my secret weapon.

    Scalability
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    Again, I am a fairly new employee to The Social Lights (I've only been here for 11 months) and I am also fairly new to the workforce (I've only just graduated from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities) so it's hard for me to talk too much about the scalability of businesses; however, I feel like this would help

    Return on Investment
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    • Negatively impacted relationship with Khoros as they're notoriously difficult to engage with or able to produce viable results from our feedback.
    • Negatively impacted KPI reporting, as metrics were inaccurate for six months.
    • Negatively impacted resource management, as there've been so many restrictions with this platform that simple, day-to-day tasks take so much longer.

    • It's been vital. I've made too many contacts to mention because I was able to source the correct email address for C-suite executives (which are my target prospects).
    • The cost of the service has been affordable. I work inside sales and so I have to be selective on which tools I pay for because the ROI must fit within my budget. I've used SellHack since day one in this role and I use it every month.
