2 year review of Khoros Marketing
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.

- 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.

Social media platform management and internal content organization.

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
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.
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
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)
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.

- 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.

Social media manager, community manager, social media editor, director of communications and more or less all the other marketing and communications working positions which have on their duties the online media activities.

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

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
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

Yes
mobile interface should need some restylings
We utilize Khoros Marketing as the Corporate Communications team for one brand across three different social platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter). We utilize it to draft, approve and publish content. We also use its reporting capabilities. We have about four editors and two main admin users.
- Provides a simple approval process for content.
- Provides an easy to use and view calendar view that you can move content around in.
- Allows users to have "labels" for content which is incredibly useful for reporting.
- Exporting the calendar could be more aesthetic.
- The analytics dashboards are robust, but not the most intuitive to use.
- There are still tech glitches that result in posts failing to publish from time to time.

- Streamlined social media management for drafting and scheduling content.
- Provides comprehensive calendar of social media content.
- Improved KPIs and reporting capabilities.
The few times I've had to reach out to Khoros support, I haven't found them to be very helpful. They usually take at least 48 hours to respond and despite duplicating the issue, they've been unable to solve it so it ends up happening again.
Centralized visibility of teams to ensure all content is on-brand.
- Hootsuite and Buffer
Khoros allows for more user permissions and approval workflows. I also think the interface is more user-friendly and the analytics suite is far more robust than these competitors.

Someone who understands digital technology and platforms and is a good writer is the best type of person. I think it goes without saying that they need to understand social media and the nuances to each platform to best optimize their copy and imagery for performance. I also think having basic design skills is helpful or at least knowledge of asset dimensions for various social platforms.
- Having multiple content contributors in the same system with an approval process
- Ability to draft, preview and schedule posts on one platform
- Reporting metrics and dashboards for all accounts in one platform
- We use it for pretty basic and foundational social media strategies
- drafting and scheduling content
- moving content around in the calendar
- exporting the calendar
- Exporting a visually appealing calendar view of posts
- Reporting is not very intuitive
Yes, but I don't use it

Khoros Review
We are using Khoros for the marketing department only. It addresses our need to publish on social media, answer and respond to customer service queries, and track and monitor trends. It has been very helpful so far and we continue to see a lot of use for it in the upcoming future.
- Track and monitor conversations.
- Allow for publishing.
- Allow for moderation and approval of comments and posts.
- Sometimes the approval process can get a bit convoluted.
- Would love to see more ways to track who is responding to certain comments.
- Would like to see more opportunity for the platform to help with proofreading of posts.

- Khoros has positively impacted our response time for customers.
- It has also allowed us to publish consistently, while also allowing us to track our content performance and consumer sentiment.
Percolate and Curalate both offer similar features as Khoros. We ended up selecting Khoros again because we were already familiar with how it worked, didn't have any major issues with it in the past, and saw no reason to discontinue our partnership with the platform in order to move to a different one.

The people in our organization who use Spredfast represent a variety of business functions. We have people who are active in community management who use the platform, people who work in customer service and very closely with our community management team to respond to customers, content producers who help with publishing content, and strategists to analyze content produced.
- Viewing basic reports
- Trying to dive deeper into certain areas
Yes
The mobile interface works well enough, but does lack some of the features that exist in the desktop version.
