Usually the Khoros support people aren't able to help in many situations that we have problems with. It causes me to not use the system as much as I wish I could. Khoros Marketing is great in theory, but not always in practice.

Brand Management with Khoros

Given that I am a fairly new Social Media Manager (I've been at the Social Lights for just 11 months), I really don't feel like I know too much about our agency's policies relating to cyber security and risk. Therefore, I am not at liberty to review this aspect of this product.

Customer Support

We haven't benefited at all. The product teams don't seem to understand their own product in meetings with them. The constant phrase used is: "Raise it as an idea." These 'ideas' can sit in state for years, and still haven't been brought to fruition - just look at Twitter Threads.

Incentivized

Customer Support

Not to my knowledge - I believe it was a tool selected a while ago.

Only via the approval system - but the posts already go through compliance before being entered into Khoros
