What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

Community Building: Based on my experience, the platform works very well when it comes to building a community. I direct Twitter followers to our community page and let them keep the ball rolling while I listen and get good insights.

Response/Engagement Console: It is straight-forward. You can see the number of tweets coming in (brand mentions or direct tweets) real-time and respond to each with ease. Recommended for big companies that are looking at enhancing their customer service efforts in social media.

Analytics: It is ideal for companies that wish to conduct social analytics on services beyond table stakes like Facebook and Twitter--Lithium Communities, blogs, and consumer reviews.

User-friendly: It's easy to use. The design is robust and straight-forward. You'll definitely know what a button is for at first click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

Lithium lacks centralized account management features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Communities:

Lithium could have been the best deal if it can be synchronized with CRM systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

As an implementation partner for the Lithium platform I think what most people we have worked with so far like it the ability to customize the system. We have UX architects, designers, developers and quality testers that have all worked on these projects to implement community for large brands in various industries. It works, its relatively simple to set up and style and customers generally like the user interface and ability to manage it one their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

No major dislikes, there are so many different platforms and each has pros and cons but Lithium is a solid community solution. There are more affordable products that have similar functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Communities:

In the pursuit to stay platform agnostic I would just point out that there are competing community platforms of varying sizes and cost models so I think its important to have a partner or consultancy that understands your organizational core values, needs, challenges and goals to be successful. Community is that thing that does have ROI and provides depth and connectivity between customers and responsible businesses. I think the most pure form of a successful community isn't to reduce cost, increase ROI or sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Communities?

Lithium is designed to bring your online community onto a collaborative platform that is closed, managed, & focused. It allows for deeper & richer relationships resulting in greater connection to your Brand. With the closed platform, a more cohesive engaged community evolves. Members are motivated by their personal value they bring to the community & more likely to evangelize your Brand. Managing shared content, community reactions/opinions & negative posts is also more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Communities?

The platform is great for managing, engaging, developing trusted relationships, & cultivating Brand Ambassadors. However, it is still a platform & good Community Managers, Content, & Moderation is critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Communities:

Before you start, gain a good understanding of your existing community, its dynamics, & potential. Set it up right to fit your customer's interests & needs, your business style/voice, size, Industry & objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
