Performance of Khoros Communities Across Market Features

Khoros Communities Likes & Dislikes

Like

It helps to improve customer support efficiency. Tracking satisfaction helps with customer sentiment analysis. supports both small and large businesses.

Like

The implementation team were easy to work with and worked to our challenging timescales The functionality that is available is easy to use. It was easy to build a good looking community site out of the box. It provides all of the content types that you would expect (forums / blogs / events)

Like

Cost effective customer support. It encourages customer discussion, feedback or collaboration.

Dislike

Requires active community management. New users need a training.

Dislike

Post implementation, the support experience has been severely lacking. Bug reports go unacknowledged and are regularly closed without warning and without being fixed. We have had 4 CSMs in a short amount of time and due to a recent acquisition our new CSM is completely unfamiliar with our product or use case. The out of the box functionality is also lacking and software development resources are required for what I would consider table stakes functionality. In particular the lack of reporting functionality is hampering our ability to prove the ROI of our community.

Dislike

Maintenance and subscription cost is high. Customer can express dissatisfaction in public forums, which could lead to negative publicity if not managed properly. Initial set up is complex.

    I am a customer of the company. They are using this platform for interaction. It helps with customer discussion, feedback and collaboration.

    Strong Customer Success Practices Lead the Way

    4.0
    May 24, 2021
    Worked extensively with the product for two and 1/2 years. They have a strong community base but lack vision and strength in some related functionality such as case management. Customer service wise, they have strong customer success mgmt practices. Their services team is fantastic, but it tended to take three months on average to get an official booking with them.

    Committed to being not just a vendor, but a trusted partner committed to customer success

    5.0
    Sep 12, 2019
    Every part of this organization commits to the success of their customers - from product management to account management and professional services. Product Managers have made an effort to reach out and seek our feedback to ensure their product roadmap balances the introduction of both new innovation while resolving customer pain points. This past year both our Sales and Customer Success leadership teams engaged to clear roadblocks we had and took action to keep our account healthy. We also had the opportunity to work with the Professional services team to help us migrate the community of a company we merged with on our existing Khoros powered community. We found our strategy consultant, project manager and migration engineer to be great partners who were committed to our success and helped us meet our commitments.
