  • The calendar view makes it easy to see all upcoming posts.
  • Khoros Marketing makes it easy to draft a new post on mobile.
  • Khoros Marketing lets you filter out posts to only see accounts relevant to you and organic posts, not care responses.
  • I wish it could be easier to differentiate between platforms when posting, like adding links for FB and not for IG.
  • Khoros Marketing limits the amount of content I can directly publish to Instagram.
  • I’d like to see the amount of posts that fail to publish be reduced. It’s frustrating to have to check social on the weekends to make sure a post I scheduled actually went live.

  • The ease of workflow optimization makes Khoros stand out.
  • The scale that we achieve across channels using Khoros has been impressive.
  • Khoros' audience insights are very impressive and wide-spanning.
  • More explanation for beginner users -- perhaps some demo walkthroughs would be helpful for teams using Khoros for the first time.

  • Its labeling system is very robust - you can be quite specific without much hassle
  • Splitting posts into opened and unreviewed columns
  • Being able to see notes from all Khoros users
  • It's sometimes hard to get the native link to a user's post, especially if it's hidden
  • The button to hide posts will sometimes come up with an error multiple times (on the same post) before working

  • Easy Scheduling
  • Providing helpful resource information on Atlas
  • The integration of multiple organizations under one account / easy access
  • The analytics tool could be improved to provide more accurate / easily accessible performance updates
  • Shoppable product tagging within the scheduling tool
  • Account integration. My organization has multiple brands under one account and we consistently have to re-connect each social account in the platform. We do not share these social accounts, so it's stressful to coordinate and communicate when these integrations are needed to each individual person.

  • 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.

  • Display of the platform channels (inbox)
  • Reactivity of the tool
  • Many platforms supported
  • Planification of the posts
  • In the inbox part when sorting comments we should have an option not to see the comment on the platform anymore (the box of the comment should disappear to go on another folder)
  • When clicking on the comment we should directly arrive on the platform

  • Produces simple proactive content.
  • Pulls in basic social media metrics.
  • You can't create polls, retweets, quote tweets, threads, or comments.
  • You can't get valuable, intelligent insights through Analytics.
  • You can't use Care to evaluate volumetric demand as the widgets available are minimal and basic.

  • easy of use
  • pulling in paid content from native channels
  • manual and auto tagging
  • Reporting - sometimes we have issue with pulling in paid media posts
  • Customer Service - Issues that really impact us that we need quickly fixed can take longer than desired
  • They removed the intelligence feature with little notice
  • Reporting - The dashboards are great but needs updating so drop and drag and formatting is easier.
