Overall Satisfaction with Khoros Communities

The community hosts 10 years of content. More than 500B visits since 2013. It's our brand showcase for customer services. Thanks to the community, more than a third of answers are provided without the help of our customer service. And 30% of people found answers that fit their questions.
  • Great account management and support.
  • Overview of the activity / Analytics.
  • Flexibility.
  • Customization.
  • UI fundamental.
  • Decrease in direct calls.
  • Increase in customer satisfaction.
  • Drop in traffic.
There is a good understanding of the needs in the area of customer services. The evolution is constant.
Indeed, we work regularly with Khoros support and with our customer success account manager. The advices are most of the time well aligned with our strategy and vision.
I mostly use Analytics to build great dashboard and get a close overview of the activity. I though moderation wasn't a service offered by Khoros so I guess I can't judge on it (but I do use bulk archiving since fee days and the 22.2 release). For the content I'm pretty happy.
  • Product feedback
  • New feature ideas
  • Access to ratings and reviews
  • Access to learning and training resources (e.g. product coaching)
For the moment it is difficult to measure the impact, we will see more clearly in a few weeks.
Our super user program is currently working really well. Their commitment is excellent. They alone represent 40% of the messages generated and there are not even 10 of them. To give you an idea, we have over 200,000 messages each year.
Khoros Communities was already in place when I arrived on this job so I didn't select it from other products.

Overall, if you have a good knowledge of Forums/Communities you will be very comfortable with using the Khoros tools. If you're thinking of moving to Khoros / Lithium however, you'll need support for customization (UI/UX, SEO for me).
