What is Khoros Service?

Khoros Service offers omnichannel engagement on publicly available channels like social, digital, chat, and voice, as well as owned online communities like Khoros Communities. The solution offers 1-to-1 and 1-to-many engagement with customers and consumers, bringing together automation through bots and human agents.


Customer inquiries and support-related conversations can be routed and prioritized based on a variety of parameters, and the robust agent desktop solution allows agents to efficiently manage conversations, both in real-time and asynchronously. The Agent Assist feature offers in-the-moment content and responses to help agents respond faster and with better results. The bot and automation builder tool allows conversations to be automated using AI and automated workflows. Users can build customized dashboards with built-in analytics, surfacing KPIs that are most meaningful to them.


Key benefits include:


Improves customer experiences while driving agent efficiency

Engages customers in their channel of choice–SMS, messaging, social, chat, in-app, email, voice–providing complete omnichannel coverage. Khoros simplifies agent workflow with a single desktop, unified customer profiles, and AI-powered support, while automated analysis of sentiment and customizable dashboards help optimize team performance and customer satisfaction.


Increases efficiencies through automation

Centralizes automated experiences across systems, applications, and channels in one platform to streamline customer interactions. By harnessing Natural Language Processing (NLP), it can reduce call volume with conversational bots across multiple channels, while IVR redirection and AI orchestration ensure efficient customer service.


Accelerates resolution to delight customers

Creates a hub for customers to connect with experts, learn, and get answers to their questions at any time, in any region. Users can deflect up to 80% of calls and customer inquiries, potentially saving brands millions in annual support costs.

Khoros Care is really helpful for hearing all conversations across our accounts in one place. It makes it easier for my team to respond in real-time to our audience. It also helps my team focus on one task at a time, instead of flipping through multiple web pages.
  • Showcase conversations in a visually easy to understand way.
  • Allow sorting through conversations.
  • Allow for better grouping of conversations with the same user.
  • Better sorting through of power users/people who comment multiple times. Would be nice to have an icon next to their name that says "replied 1x" or something like that.
Khoros Care is really helpful for when we have lots of eyeballs on our accounts from the big wigs. It's easy to jump in quickly on conversations when they're all organized in one place.
  • Increased efficiency.
  • Increased engagement rates.
  • Increased commenting by our community managers.
Khoros support has been overall lacking and frustrating to work with. System can be buggy, so it's unfortunate that support isn't more robust.
no response, our company has now grown since using this product
The support team is overall very lacking. We have repeatedly asked for modifications to the platform for years, and it's just fallen on deaf ears. It feels like the user is not a priority.
I would recommend taking a few sessions with their product coaches to better learn the platform
I was not a part of the implementation process, it was before I worked at the company.
Khoros offers more robust reporting for data. Both Facebook & Khoros could do better with their apps.
Before using Khoros Care we were doing this work in individual social sites.
It's a great time saver to have analytics in the same platform that we use for Care services. This saves us from flipping between other websites & also saves us from using another company for this service.

If we need support, we go through Khoros
  • social listening
  • social engaging
  • would love to use on new websites as they become available
  • Price
It was the best bang for our buck.
Next time we would love to talk to people who are already using the platform to get their opinion on the product.
No
  • Don't know
Yes
Have reported many bugs over the years, and some times it takes a week or so, some other bugs have yet to be resolved.
I cannot say I've ever had exceptional support. It seems like they're very understaffed.
  • none, overall use is pretty complicated
  • the platform overall is a bit hard to pick up on your own
  • i would recommend using a product coach
Yes, but I don't use it

It is being used by Nickelodeon's social media team. We use this for our daily social media needs (scheduling, community management, monitoring social discussions, etc).
  • Helps us to plan ahead.
  • Helps publishing needs.
  • Missing key publishing tools for platforms (ex: polls on twitter).
  • Would love to have a built-in Giphy option to respond to fans.
It works well for giving an overview of social conversations and can help to monitor the campaigns. However, it would be great to see perhaps an "overall sentiment" rating for a particular campaign.
  • Helps provide visibility into reporting,
  • It has increased efficiency,
  • Contributed to productivity,
It is useful in tracking and bubbling up issues and concerns or positive feedback to the appropriate lines of business
I am not familiar with other alternatives at the moment since this the only platform I have used since beginning my career.
I have not use other products as of yet
We use this tool to track conversations and bubble up an information that may be relevant to our lines of business, and alert the appropriate teams.
I personally have not used Khoros support in this way as of yet
