  • 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.

  • 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  • Naming of knowledge articles not always aligned to the platform terms - some of the content is out of date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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Allowing for emoticons.
  • Ability to add tags to posts to understand full campaigns, not just one post.
  • Uploading images and allowing for cropping and/or editing for each appropriate channel. META currently offers this on this platform for businesses.
  • Increase the image size allowed to be uploaded.
  • Hashtag recommendations or insight - META also does this and this is useful to maximize engagement.

  • Reducing the wait time for some things to delete or add to the content calendar.

  • 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.
