What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

What I like the most about Khoros is the profile information column on the right-hand side. The information is easily laid out and accessible. The various ticket closing reasons make sense as long as your team uses the correct one in each ticket scenario for proper analytics tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

One thing I dislike about Khoros is that you're not able to edit notes you add to a ticket after you've submitted them. This can make the ticket look messy and confusing if you have to submit multiple notes on one ticket. I also think the Notes portion could use some improvement. It would be helpful if it were more prominent on the user's profile panel to make it more evident to agents.

Additionally, the merge function can become messy when multiple tickets are involved. In the user's ticket history, it would make more sense to consolidate them all into one ticket option rather than still having them be broken out separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

Multiple user issues such as refunds, rideable issues, accidents, lost bikes, safety issues, overall platform feedback, technical troubleshooting and account issues. Our scope goes beyond those specific types of cases, but that's a good overview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

We went through an extensive evaluation of Community Platform Vendors, with Vanilla and Khoros making it to the final two selections. Khoros had the vision to get us where we wanted to go with a roadmap to get there. Vanilla at the time seemed to lack providing us a clear vision and the road to getting there. The Khoros team was highly involved and both skilled and very supportive. Since purchase we have successfully deployed our revamped community with great success and they have been there every step along the way to support and guide us. I would highly recommend them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

Nothing thus far; the deployment has been widely successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

A robust and engaging customer experience with our community. The level of engagement has been 100x richer than in our prior community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

Creating a consistent look and feel across our community has been great. Our previous platform allowed for so much customization between groups and spaces that it was a disjointed experience sometimes for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

We have a TON of groups...2400+ which isn't the norm for a Khoros customer so we are consistently finding it hard to do what were we able to on the old platform. That said, there is a lot of clean-up we need to do which will help and the upcoming release of Aurora will be a gamechanger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

Client collaboration is key for us. Being able to connect our community members with our associates and other clients to ask questions and get answers without going the support route has always been our goal for the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

I've always enjoyed the way that good community practices are baked into the system. The Khoros staff understands community deeply. There are many other options out there, including "bolt-on" offerings for big platforms that do a wide variety of functions. But I find the Khoros focus on community (and care) helps us to deliver the best experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

As one of the most established community platforms, Khoros innovation moves a little slower than some of the newer offerings. However, they have a solid roadmap that they update and share regularly. They are also responsive to feedback. Support tickets sometimes linger; it's important to advocate strongly for fixes that need quick attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

At its core, our community is a support resource for customers. We realize good ROI just by serving answers that would otherwise generate support cases -- more expensive to service. In addition, we use the community as a hub for engagement across all of our user-focused programs. It's not just for break-fix; it's for learning and fun too.

What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

The first outstanding feature will be the gamification which will encourage users to contribute and help other users and the next in my list will be the permission set which will be useful for access level to the different teams of the community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

It would be useful if it contains user-level subscriptions and dark mode features since they will be the most common feature available in other similar communities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Communities:

It will be very useful for organization which deals mostly with the support and the social knowledge and the social Meia and new feature Group Hub and the Events are the most amazing available in the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

Definitely, it is solving user interaction with support and helping the end to end peer communities and helping the support activities and encouraging user to provide self solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

The fact that building community is such a strong force in brand building and Khoros helps the brands to do so without much extra effort on their side but with a wide variety of functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

Like any community, it has their downsides and naysayers who become part of the communities and hinder the benefits, clean-up becomes a massive issue but it always is Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

For a startup brand, who does not want to indulge in a whatsapp or a telegram, it helps in having a third platform with a niche for community building for brands especially Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
