What do you like best about Khoros Social Media Management?

This tool can handle massive volumes of mentions and makes it easy to track mentions and respond. It's also easy to use the approval system for copy and posts, you can punt them back to someone with notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Social Media Management?

The UI is clunky and not intuitive. It also doesn't have real-time monitoring, there is a delay that can be critical. It also struggles to provide a really solid large team experience, where you can have 20 people using the tool. The reporting was also totally useless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Social Media Management:

If you need something really robust because you get tons of mentions this is a great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Social Media Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We primarily used this tool to review and schedule posts and monitor mentions on social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Social Media Management?

Their integrated solution is world class as is their account and strategy team. Really, the solution and it’s capacity will blow your mind. In addition, they don’t over promise. What they do, they do well. What they don’t do, they have relationships with the top technology providers in the field and will connect you to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Social Media Management?

With most enterprise solutions, it's never as simple to get started as going and signing up for a consumer-level service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Social Media Management:

If you are looking at other commercial social media platforms like Spredfast, talk with peers that use them. That’s how you will really learn who to go with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Social Media Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We selected Spredfast in an effort to help us do more than manager our social accounts. There are plenty of companies that can do just that. We wanted to know how we could better engage with our community and Spredfast let’s us do just that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Social Media Management?

The calendar feature is great. The same goes for the features to administer the whole tool as I owned the deployment for the whole company worldwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Social Media Management?

Speed. I wish moving around within the tool was faster as sometimes it took much time to go from area to area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Social Media Management:

This tool is very easy to use. To get the most from it the administrator should build a library of content (images, etc) in the tool for the account managers to use and he/she should ensure account managers are using the tool instead of responding natively within the apps (FB, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Social Media Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

The tool was deployed as a way to have centralized community management of many social media sites across the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Social Media Management?

Easy to navigate, intuitive, with functionality that proved useful even though it wasn't what attracted us to the product in the first place. A lot of opportunity to be organized and specific while also following an effective product map. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Social Media Management?

Some of the analytics capabilities left more to be desired - however, I hear this has been upleveled significantly since my last use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Social Media Management:

Shop around, but focus not only on product UI but product support. Spredfast offered a ton of support which in the end is what sold us on the product, as well as the excellent UI and functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Social Media Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving for scattered and manual social media management. Benefits realized include upleveling our social media activity reporting to the CMO using tools native to the Spredfast interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Social Media Management?

Spredfast offers a clean UX and is broken up into easily accessible tools: Social Inbox, Calendar, Analytics & Content Library. The Calendar offers a high visual of weekly content schedules, and Analytics offers easy to read engagement measurements. Also, Spredfast is continuously in update mode, which results in constant improvements to the tools and systems. Finally, they have spectacular customer service - very quick in responding and addressing any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Social Media Management?

While the updates are great, there's a learning curve with each one. It's easy to get comfortable with the tools, which means any updates can rock the boat a bit. And while Spredfast provides an extensive amount of training documentation/videos, it can take some digging to find an answer to certain user questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Social Media Management:

I'd recommend that potential customers think of Spredfast if they need to harness their social content - giving it focus - and if they want to use social media to both better understand their audience and better their customer service via listening tools. I'd also recommend talking directly to Spredfast's customer service/sales professionals. This may seem obvious, but Spredfast promotes a very customer-centric focus. They've trained their professionals to be very attentive and very personable. Finally, I'd recommend attending Spredfast's yearly social media summit in Austin not only as a learning opportunity but also as a way to gauge their business savvy and as an opportunity to investigate their product offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Social Media Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've used Spredfast to gain control of our social media content, which was unfocused and unwieldy b/f we started using Spredfast tools. Not only is our social media schedule more streamlined, we've clarified our content output and goals, which has allowed us to be more nimble and has allowed for stronger content campaigns. We've also gained a better understanding of our audience and what they're interested in reading/sharing. Finally, we've improved our social media customer service using Spredfast's "Highlight" feature, which has allowed us to seamlessly pass along questions/complaint to internal stakeholders.

What do you like best about Khoros Social Media Management?

Spredfast has extensive data exports that are easily manipulated into actionable reports. Their dashboards are a good source for a quick reference of what is happening across your pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Social Media Management?

-Their IT open ticket time can use improvement. Faster response and a free flow of communication so the user knows that actions are being taken to fix the problem.

-Sometimes server speed is very slow. Dashboards and data takes time to load onto the screen.

-Spredfast needs to ping the APIs of the social channels more frequently so that data is as real time as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Social Media Management:

Attend the frequent digital webinars on the Spredfast updates. They are a fantastic resource for the new capabilities Spredfast is continuously rolling out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Social Media Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Spredfast provides great community management functions. The approval work flow for content posting is amazing at flagging content for approval and sending it up the chain of command. Being able to review a user's history with the brand is also a nice feature when responding to a consumer with frequent social conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Khoros Social Media Management?

All of Spredfast's insights allow my company to stay in-the-know and adjust to changes in the social media landscape rapidly. Our reports put us way ahead of our competition in terms of providing actionable insights to take our clients' campaigns to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Khoros Social Media Management?

The struggle I have with Spredfast is how slow it runs. I have previously used Hootsuite, which is much faster and streams are much easier to load and view. Spredfast is too sluggish to use in fast-moving Twitter chats, too buggy to rely on for Facebook scheduling, and too limited in its LinkedIn reporting (no group engagements are reported on). I also would love if Spredfast had Instagram and Pinterest, since those are hugely important platforms for my B2C clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Khoros Social Media Management:

If reporting is what you are looking for, Spredfast is unmatched. If you are looking to cover all social platforms, be weary of Spredfast's current platform limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Khoros Social Media Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a clear and direct way to communicate the qualitative and quantitative benefits of social media, as well as deliver insights that our competition has no access to. We are able to position ourselves as experts and use real numbers and reports to prove ROI to our clients, whether or not they are sold on the full power of social media yet.
