Khoros Social Media Management vs. Twibble

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.

• 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.

• 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

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.

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.

• We still experience a bit of downtime and slowness here but things have drastically improved in the last year with their feature updates and reconfigured hosting.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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

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

• 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.
