First impressions with Khoros Marketing
- Scheduling. It lets you schedule content in all its details and you don't have to think about it anymore.
- Labeling. Many ways of labeling are available, including some rules to have automatic labels applied to certain types of content.
- Content storage.
- Calendarization.
- Content supported by the platform (PDF). This is valid also for GIFs.
- Complexity of setting up dashboards. Also the way the data are regrouped in the dashboard, they should sometimes be more accurate.
- System of plans.
Khoros is great, but they need to catch up on somethings.
- Social Media calendar
- Social Media marketing analytics
- Social media Messaging
- Updating reels to be more the 60 seconds
- A way to posts things without the mobile publishing
- Deeper explanations for reach/engagement
Khoros Marketing
- Scheduling - clear view of calendar for birds-eye view
- Analytics
- Social Listening via Intelligence
- Intelligence could be a little more intuitive
Great for cross functional teams and easy reporting
- 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.
- Analytics and reporting - sizing of dashboard page makes it difficult to add and position the data 'widgets'
- Naming of knowledge articles not always aligned to the platform terms - some of the content is out of date
- The plan function does not add much value - which is a shame as it could be a good snapshot tool.
If you want to keep your content organized and published correctly, you'll want Khoros Marketin!
- Keeps organic content in one place for easy access.
- Publishes content on organic feeds across multiple social platforms.
- Has in-depth analytics for tracking organic social media posts.
- The "preview" pop out section could be larger so that it's easier to view content.
- The "fields to include" on data exports have many of the same items that are called different things, so better explanations about which one to use would be great.
- Data exports need to be saved outside of the platform because the information expires within the system after a set amount of time.
Room To Grow
- Scheduling
- Planning
- Cross-company view
- Asset management
- Inbox (particularly with LinkedIn)
- Analytics widgets
- Staying up-to-date with Instagram
There is room for improvement in the way different functional teams communicate with each other. Our enagement has not gone as smoothly as we thought it would, due to miscommunication between sales having product knowledge, enablement having knowledge of our business case(s) and customer success being available to connect the various dots.

First Impressions of Khoros
- Reviewing social media data and performance.
- Social listening.
- Intelligence suite.
- Custom metrics.
- Onboarding and training process.
- Issues with data connection.
- Reporting and analytics
- scheduling
- training videos and support
- make live training sessions more frequent
- more pop ups that call out features while using
- Catches broken links and missing content.
- Rejects posts that don't adhere to company rules.
- Rejects posts that don't fit Facebook guidelines.
- Arbitrary edits on post captions. For example: adding/removing one emoji, unnecessary rephrasing.
- No capability for creating Facebook events.
- No capability for boosting Facebook posts.
- No capability for interacting at all with the post after it is posted (cannot delete or edit).
- Cannot share other pages posts to our page. It would be useful to be able to interact with other local business's pages when we have shared events in the community.
- Cannot comment from our page's account.
- Staff is too strict on guidelines where exceptions need to be made. Example: rejecting a video of a drone shot of the entire lot of 200+ campers because "every available unit must include a link to the website."
- Limited capability for communicating with the staff member that rejected a post. Waiting to hear back from Khoros Support on a support ticket is not ideal when the post is time-sensitive, such as during a sale or for a one-day event.
- Requiring posts to be made 24 hours in advance is not ideal for one-day events or things happening at the dealership in real time.
However, it is highly restrictive on employees trying to utilize their dealership's page to its full extent. Being unable to create events is a major detriment to spreading word in the community about our shows, sales, and other community events that we have hosted, such as writing letters to veterans, raking leaves for Make a Difference Day, hosting food trucks from local restaurants, Halloween trick-or-treating events, participating in the local Christmas Parade, or hosting local caterer's and DJ's.
Being able to create polls, host Q & A's, share other pages posts, comment on other page's posts, or go live would boost engagement on our page, yet we are limited to posting links, photos, and videos.
