Overall Satisfaction with Khoros Communities

We leverage Khoros communities to deploy forums, KBs, ideation, events, and group hubs. All of which are in place for us to support and deliver on case deflection through an increasing depth of publically available knowledge.
  • Customization
  • Breadth of Capability.
  • Security & Configuration.
  • Integrations are VERY expensive and services dependant.
  • Many customizations require developers or services to deploy.
  • Outdated reporting and backend.
  • Increased Web Traffic.
  • Decrease in Redundant Support Tickets.
With the customization is extreme scalability. This platform will scale the best of any community platform.
Professional services were slow and took from 6 months to deploy an out-of-the-box community with only a few basic customizations. We were disappointed to find it so challenging to deploy a basic installation of the platform.
I am unable to comment on this as we haven't had the community long enough to measure its performance at scale.
  • Product feedback
  • New feature ideas
We've seen a 10% increase in new product ideas. We've seen a small improvement on CSAT scores.
Gamification and the customization of gamification are one of the core reasons we leverage Khoros. It performs well in this arena. We've seen earners of badges re-engage more frequently in our community.

No

No

Would you buy Khoros Communities again?

Yes

This platform is well suited for those large enterprise organizations that require a flexible community and have technical talent designated to create a custom experience. For small teams that are pseudo-technical or just made of 'community people, you may find this platform overly complex and difficult to use.
