Overall Satisfaction with Khoros Marketing

We use Khoros to schedule, organize and analyze social media content across our three global channels: LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. Our user pool is moderated, with around ten active users and ten additional occasional users. We leverage the platform to centralize all social media content and metrics, facilitating day-to-day operations. We currently are in the scale-up part of our Khoros journey where we are working at implementing workflows around and in the platform to strengthen our social media strategy and governance.

The limitations that we face are around social platforms APIs restrictions which impact our ability to use Khoros to it's full potential, resulting in a lot of manual work to tag and re-tag content to ensure performance is tracked within Khoros. As well as some issues with the approval rules, which result in blocking content from being published. Gaps on the analytics side also prove to reduce the relevance of the tool, mostly for reporting on Instagram content performance.

Khoros support is amazing. Extremely responsive and efficient
We use the shared calendar to ensure a cohesive social media calendar.
By using the publishing console we are able to reduce the number of people with native access to the social media platform reducing cybersecurity risks. Ultimately the approval workflows are an extra step that help ensuring content quality
Khoros has many modules and features that we can tap into as we gain maturity. Some even being out of the box, limiting the need to increase investment.

Sprinklr proved to be a strong competitor when we initially looked at social media management platforms. However, the price point, complexity of implementation and of use were important contingency point where Khoros outperformed its competition by providing and simple to implement platform and is easy enough to maintain.
Khoros is a great platform overall that is easy to use and not overloaded with features that get in the way of the user experience, unlike some of its competitors. Features and customizations are pretty easy to implement and get around, even after the enablement phase with the Khoros teams. Customers is amazing and incredibly effective.
There are some areas when I would want them to improve, such as the overall look and feel of the platform, to provide more fluidity and modernize it overall. The Analytics technology seems to be a bit behind current standards and the dashboards are still pretty simple with limited dive into the data. In-platform collaboration could be improved and made easier, I tend to get lost or have to search for tasks that have been assigned to me, and fail to find them easily, which causes a bunch of issues for the content to be published.
