It has a few limitations and can't be tweaked exactly how you want it, depending on your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a few limitations, but on the whole Lithium is the best platform to build and manage a community on. Do your research, but you'll more than likely find it to be the best solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Responding to customers within a timely manner with LSW and growing an e-service based community. Benefits so far include introducing LSW to agents, making it easier for them to manage workload and respond quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

The moderation feature, that it is possible to pre-moderate everything before it goes live.

The ability to tailor the platform exactly the way the customer (we) need it, to deactivate a ton of features - even though they are useful, but not necessary or wanted for our community.

Fast and nice support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

Server outages that require us to have the community restarted, but this is the only thing I can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are running a message board for a very specific user group which requires pre-moderation.

It is absolutely necessary to highly customize the platform so only specific functions are available to the user and Lithium made this possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

When I was the forum admin, but actually inbound marketing manager, the best feature of Lithium was the crawlability in Google. We actually would out rank in Google some smaller businesses' websites, which shows the value of the platform (and the hilarious emails they would send in complaint). But for general SEO, the forums represented almost 50% of natural search traffic, especially non-brand terms.

I would also rave about our lithium admin. She was amazing to work with, a source of knowledge that we would leverage constantly, and the eagle eye to whenever something worth noticing would happen. I honestly miss working with her. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

The only think I and my company disliked about the platform was nothing about the platform but more about legal obligations hampering us from improving advertising. We knew there was integration, we just couldn't use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Communities:

If you need someone to run a community of thousands of users, through periods of positive communication and even in times of trolls, I would only go with Lithium. The only issue I have ever experienced really with the company itself is trying to overcharge us for special integration that we ended up doing ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problems we solved were specifically for reaching out to both existing and potential customers. In a field with a lot of competition, the forums were necessary for generating objective feedback unaligned with the corporate message. In fact there were a lot of times that users would point out our company's flaws, but this showed that we didn't rule the forums with an iron fist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

As per my knowledge, our end users were satisfied with the tool. The request to have more enhancements was reduced once the tool was installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was at a mobile wifi related company with strong salesforce users on the sales cloud and the service cloud. However, our salesforce instance had its own limitations and was not serving all our service cloud related requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We tried many tools before we finalized Lithium. So as we liked the demo and finalized to installed it - I could see the number of service related issues was reduced.

As a feedback from the users - ease of usage and adaptability was successful than anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
