The suite of tools provided by Khoros Communities has been a cornerstone in how we manage and enhance our community operations during our organization's growth. Utilizing the moderation response tools ensures a quick and precise handling of user-generated content, maintaining a positive and compliant community environment. I rely on the analytics tools to glean valuable insights into user behavior and content performance metrics, guiding data-driven decisions to continually refine our community strategies. As our community content volume expands, the content management tools become indispensable, allowing for systematic categorization and efficient retrieval of information. Together, these tools bolster user engagement, scalability, and our adaptive capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our growing community, ensuring a nuanced and informed user experience.

These tools have helped to effectively manage customer and partner questions and answers and also create new spaces within the user community to support more customers with their concerns without the need to increase the number of people managing the questions. Khoros accounts and this is a very simple and feasible process from the cost reduction point of view.

Because the product tells us what the customer wants, I believe it has improved our customer engagement and satisfaction KPIs. We were able to go further into several areas where response was strong since surveys and analytics were so simple to use.

Tools such as moderation response, analytics, adn content management has enbaled us to manage and improve community operations as our company grows by quick responses and overall visability to analytics. However, it would go a little more in depth in some of its analytics and give deeper insight for some items.

Analytics show engagement program and post results. Community problem-solving is managed by moderation. Analytics show gamification and other engagement tactics work. Although Khoros didn't provide moderation, I've been using bulk archiving from early days. Also automated settings and active customer participation on Khoros Forums help us fulfill SLA.

Tools like moderation response, analytics, and content management within Khoros Communities have played a rather important role in enhancing our community operations, especially as our audience continues to grow. If we were to focus on one point, it would be that it was rather simple to sort out the different types of responses and address them according to our needs. While we still believe Khoros Communities could be more interactive and fluid in this regard, it performed far better than other platforms.

We have been able to hit our SLAs and exceed expectation using preautomated configurations and communication with engaged customers on the Khoros Forums. Analytics has helped us plan strategy ahead such as number of resources needed to drive valuable content to the ongoing traffic of questions and use cases

I mostly use Analytics to build great dashboard and get a close overview of the activity. I though moderation wasn't a service offered by Khoros so I guess I can't judge on it (but I do use bulk archiving since fee days and the 22.2 release). For the content I'm pretty happy.

Analytics helps understand the trend and how the people engage with various posts and engagement strategies. Moderation helps manage various solutions to problems as well as to provide basic direction to community. Analytics helps understand how well people are responding to a feature update like Gamification or some other engagement strategy.
