We use Khoros Marketing for just about everything social media related. We collect content through Khoros' Capture app then distribute it to various platforms using Khoros Marketing.
  • Schedules content
  • Organizes content internally
  • Posts content to social media platforms
  • When I go to add more content to a post in progress from the Khoros content center, it does not show me the content in order by date. Instead, it's scattered so I have to hunt for it through the folder that it's in.
  • Sometimes I get an email telling me that a post failed. I'm not sure why this happens. I then go back in and do the post the exact same and it goes through.
Overall, it is a great platform for organizing content if you have content coming in from multiple places. It is also just about as good as social media platforms will allow it to be in regard to scheduling and posting content.

  • Marketing has allowed us to manage 100+ social media profiles with only 2 managers in the system.
We have benefitted greatly from being able to monitor our brand(s) social presence and keep it active.
We can view all of the content that are users create before it actually gets posted. This allows us to correct mistakes and improve quality.
Khoros Marketing has allowed us to scale our own operations. Although the Khoros Capture app has given us a lot of trouble, the marketing side has held up nicely.

Social media platform management and internal content organization.
2
If you're using the Khoros Marketing Capture app for users to submit content, then it requires a lot of upkeep and should have a dedicated person.
  • Social media content organization
  • Social posting
  • Content collection
  • We enable each of our 100+ stores with the Capture app so we can also post organic / authentic content
  • As new social platforms rise, we plan to utilize marketing to manage them without massively growing our team
We have ongoing issues with the Capture app. If it weren't for that, then it would be a 10/10.
Yes
We were using Sprout Social which we were happy with at the time but it lacked essential functionality. We needed to be able to collect content from 500 users using a simple app. Khoros offered this with their Capture app.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
  • Other
The Khoros Capture app was the most important differentiator for us. We needed to be able to collect content from all over the United States and store it / organize it in a cloud to then be posted to social platforms.
We would have dove deeper into the actual functionality of the Capture app. The Capture app has caused us a lot of issues over the past 2 years. We would have prioritized how need for a smooth/easy to use content collection app with minimal issues/downtime.
We did not purchase premium support. We should not have to pay for support to fix issues that should not be occurring in the first place.
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.
Yes
The bugs that we have reported in Khoros Marketing have mostly been resolved in a timely fashion. The bugs that we have identified in the Khoros Capture app have sometimes taken a long time to get resolved.
Although I am being straightforward in these reviews and describing how support has taken a while to resolve support tickets, there have been plenty of times where support have resolved our issue with exceptional service. One time we needed to combine our initiatives yet keep some as is, instead of a lot of back and forth about the issue. They scheduled a call and although they had never done something like it before, we were about to work together in about 45 minutes and find a solution. This is only one example, like I said, there have been other times where support have helped us resolve issues rather quickly.
  • Basic social posting is very easy and straightforward to use
  • Basic organization (such as folders) is helpful and easy to use
  • The capture app, when working properly, is easy to use
  • Analytics can be tricky if you don't have much time to dive into them
  • Posting specific content such as stories and edited reels/tiktoks can be tricky
The basic functions that we use Khoros Marketing for are all easy to use. It obviously helps when you're on the platform every day.
Yes
I mostly use the mobile interface to collect content and post natively. You cannot post/schedule posts through the mobile app. The app has actually recently improved (we identified a bug that was impacting our workflow and support took care of it)
  • all of our social media platforms
  • Google
Easy to integrate and reauthenticate.
  • Google business photo posting
I have recommended it before in Khoros Atlas. The Khoros team agreed it would be great to add in the future.
  • File import/export
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
I have only integrated simple integrations and have not tested this to its full extent.
None as this is not an area of Khoros that I have lots of experience in.

We create local social media calendars and publish online.
  • Setup of the posts in different .
  • Choosing &scheduling.
  • Easy to update & manage last time requirements.
  • Edit done posts.
  • Maybe checking between other territories' calendars.
  • Filtering by territories.
I organize the social media calendar for Italy, and once frozen the calendar we can move forward in a fast & effective way.

  • Good time saving.
  • Should improve mobile experience.
We were able to track, select and fine-tune all our publications in order to focus on the subjects that generate top engagement.
Most important thing is to choose and take care of the right selections between the huge number of products in the Logitech environment, and Khoros makes it great.
Logitech is a real wide company, but Khoros answers all requests and delivers the right solution.
I used to manage some Hootsuite channels, but Khoros is absolutely the best for the requirements a company such as Logitech and its subsidiaries need, especially for covering lots of territories while providing the same top-level service.

All the community managers and social media managers have deep knowledge of the web and digital communications, taking firstly into account the special needs and requirements of each social network, its positioning, its tone of voice and most of all its "way of engagement."
  • ASTRO A40 promotion
  • ASTRO A10 Gen 2 Launch
  • ASTRO A50 promotion
  • we use khoros for exchaning mats & ideas between territories
  • maybe the possibility to set cross territory publications in real time, especially for central activities
We work very well with Khoros, and until now we never were affacted by any inconvenience.
Not Sure
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Prior Experience with the Product
Hi tried khorus with another company and discovered that is a real help for setting up a compelling social media calendar in a fast&effective way
Absolutely would not change it.
  • No Training
Yes because it's absolutely intuitive as system
I'm not in charge for this kind of purchase decision
Fast and effective for answerings and support on the few tech issues experienced
No
One time i had many problems in loading new posts, because the dashboard seemed to be frozen.

After expalining, i received a quick cache reset procedure that solved it all.
  • Uploading and creating new posts for almost all social networks

Rerally easy to use and understand since the very first logins
