Product Details

What is Khoros Communities?

Khoros Communities is software to build an enterprise-class online community and scale engagement. Organizations can host a vibrant space where customers can find answers, develop expertise, share experiences, and connect with their brand.


Khoros states they have built and launched over 1,500 brand communities for some of the world’s most recognized brands. With 25+ years of experience, they boast a robust set of customer interaction styles, tools to empower employees to interact and moderate at scale, a platform built for enterprise integration and security, and a dedicated services organization.


Key benefits include:


Expert community management

Nurture large, engaging communities with advanced moderation tools, content management, analytics, and expertise that provide quantifiable business value through customer acquisition, retention, and growth.


Reduced costs by deflecting support calls

Communities deflect expensive calls and boost self-service by creating a central place for customers to ask questions, access knowledge, and get tips from peers and the brand. This one-to many approach can uncover and resolve issues faster.


Boosts loyalty and retention by enhancing the post-sales experience

Customers stay loyal to brands that listen, engage, and care. Communities can be used to foster customer dialogue, and monitor for trends, insights, and problems to fix. Collecting ideas or feedback through the community closes the loop on solutions. Unify knowledge bases, peer tips, training, and other resources that drive adoption, usage, and value.


Drives organic growth

Peer opinion can greatly influence a target audience. A community that connects peers also fuels user-generated content and produces on-demand insights for new products, services, and market ideas. Users can also find, engage, and reward champions who spread positive word-of-mouth. Peer validation can support upsell and cross-sell motions.

  • Community Growth and Engagement. We were already present on other platforms, so its not like we started from the grounds up. However, within a month of joining Khoros Communities we have experienced a growth of around 30% in our active audience.
  • Feedback-Driven interactions. While on other platforms our interactions with our audience were mainly in the form of Q&A sessions, a good number of our Khoros Communities interactions (around 20%) were about suggestions to improve, and bug/design fault reports.
  • The only negative impart we can think of (although it would hardly qualify as one for most) is that we spent more time on managing our interactions on the platform. This is a rather expected con when we needed these interactions, however.

  • I believe our C-Sat scores show that active Community members rate us higher than nonmembers.
  • Having the ability to deflect support cases I know is being tracked and is a great way to answer questions and share information before a case needs to be opened.
  • Since the relaunch of our Community from Jive to Khoros at the end of 2018, we have experienced over a 30% increase in membership

  • 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?
