Overall Satisfaction with Khoros Communities
I'm responsible for 2 Khoros communities. I'm in a customer care department. Our main concern is the lack of echat among members and among the team. We also need a better integration on communuties of our members from Social Networks.
- Help among members.
- Participation of meet-up with our top members.
- Alerting of our top members on potential crisis concerning our products & services.
- No echat, no functions like WhatsApp group internally.
- No real-time stats.
- The measurement of call avoidance is hard and not sure.
- The measurement of customer satisfaction through his "journey" when he reads or when he asks a question on the forum--> how to find the real vectors: time of responses, quality of response by a member, time of response by the brand, UX/UI of the community, efficiency of the search engine, quality and precision of the SEO?
Since 2012, the helps of CSM is good. Very little utilisation of professional services except at the beginning: very helpful & fast but it costs a lot.
We use mainly community analytics.
- New feature ideas
- Access to learning and training resources (e.g. product coaching)
Rating & Review: doesn't work well for us.
Product feedback: not useful, our customers don't want that forum is a commercial space.

We use it since the beginning, so it's hard to think that we could do without.
It is our main "engine" to rule the communities and its members and to pilot our "Top members programs"

Khoros was a better solution and we had a better commercial proposal.
