Khoros is easy to use, and customer support responds within minutes. Also, they continue to upgrade the product, which means they're responding and reacting to customer needs and input and to the always-changing landscape of social media.

The customer and tech support we have access to is amazing. I've vetted plenty of social media tools and platforms and many of them overlap in service so having excellent customer support is key. We're going on our second year with Khoros and look forward to many more.

Khoros to Victory

Even with some of its cons, I have never been disappointed with Khoros. Before acquiring Khoros, I researched a ton of tools but Khoros has easily been the best one. It's content labels and automatic link shortening (you can even sync it to your bit.ly account) is incredibly useful for social media management. This is definitely a tool you'll want to look into.

Would have gone higher but in the interest of having experience with a wider field of tools it would be better to see what else is out there. It was good for reporting on a specific hashtag conversation or specific @ mention stream and is straightforward to set that up. But generating outputs beyond the dashboard view required doing some manual work that took a bit of time. Also not being able to see the # of Twitter followers for a particular person's account from the dashboard was an unwelcome delay forcing us to click into each person's account to calculate reach.

Khoros continues to deliver terrific customer service, even when they know the mistake is theirs and not an internet API. They deliver on time and are always providing webinars and trainings when releasing new updates.

Overall, I think that [Khoros] is a great platform as a marketing tool for any program, event, or product. There is power in its ability to pool media and content with a pre-approval process. It could use some improvement on the user interface of the page, but overall it is fun, new, and exciting! I would definitely work with [Khoros] again if I had the opportunity, or recommend it to other companies/customers.

They are the greatest value for the greatest cost. We have worked with them for almost three years (if not more) and the process is down pat. They do a great job of setting up new customers and keeping them involved.

There is no product like Khoros. Our company lives and dies by the analytics, and to date, we have not seen a more comprehensive analytics structure for any social media management tool. Khoros support is also fantastic, responding and resolving any and all questions, ideas, or complaints, usually in 24 hours.

At the company that uses Khoros, I don't make the purchasing decisions, so our Khoros contract will undoubtedly be renewed. However, I also manage another company's social media presence, and I do make the purchasing decisions there. When transitioning them away from Hootsuite, I didn't even consider Khoros because I don't like their UI or calendar features. Instead, I purchased the tool SproutSocial, which has a much better UI, is more intuitive, and incorporates social CRM features. SproutSocial easily tracks mentions of your company name and brand keywords, then funnels them into one integrated inbox. Khoros insists on separating things into "streams", and doesn't really allow you to funnel social mentions to customer service or sales teams.
