We were quite fortunate in the fact that we have managed to reach our initial goals with the basic features alone. While we did not engage in any of the professional services, and it did indeed have a bit of a learning curve, Khoros Communities had a big enough community that we managed to increase our user interactions by a decent amount. However, we are aware of the many advantages of the professional services, and fully intend to use these when we reach the final stages of development.

We have been able to better track customer metrics and gage when and where an issue may occur. This also gives us direct feedback from our customer base without the need for many surveys to be sent out.

We previously used a competitor and found that the customer care escalations with Khoros were more intuitive with more robust reporting capabilities. Additionally, Khoros made more sense from a cost perspective for what it is able to accomplish, versus some of its major competitors. The workflow build was much more appropriate for our business as well.

We have engaged with professional services on many projects and have a good relationship with our account team, customer experience, and TAM. We do have a lot of customizations as well in working with professional services and a Khoros Partner Grazitti which is key for us.
