If you need a content management system that allows you to add a wide variety of label categorization and have multiple users logged in at the same time, Khoros Care is suitable. However, I cannot say that it's the best system to use. There are other systems that have the same or similar features without as many issues.

  • Easy to scale up, especially for a company with staff in different locations.
  • Real-time adherence, compatible with non-telephony systems, particularly webchat and email.
  • Highly customizable system for administrators and resource planners.
  • Time off management including automated holidays, shift swap.
  • Requires specialist support to get the system working.

Pros
  • Manages and pulls in posts from communities, Facebook, and Twitter so we can address them in one place as opposed to logging into each site natively.
  • Khoros Care has great analytics. I like the customizable dashboards; we use them for weekly reports to upper management.
  • Khoros Care helps our social media manager manage and monitor our teams.

Cons
  • I would like to be able to see deleted comments/tweets so we can look into the issues.
  • I would like to be able to better customize dashboards for our exact metrics. Some things previously available in Spredfast are no longer available in Care.

  • Products need to be able to support current operating system and Java revisions on a more timely basis
  • Implementation resources are often in high demand and engaging them often create delays, as they frequently don't use the same resource within the same project and for the same client. Delays occur when new resources need to be educated on information /history between resources
  • Project managers need to understand the products better so they can be engaged better with the implementations

Simply, there isn't anything on the market that is quite as personable as Khoros Care. After using a few different client messaging systems, this program gave the closest feel to in-person interaction that we could get during the COVID-19 epidemic and is an important part of our agency still to this day in 2023.

Honestly, from what I hear from other industry experts, other WFO systems have the same support issues we have with Verint. We know the product and the system is maturing and becoming more stable. The business has no issue with the Verint product and is seeking to grow not only what we have in place today, but are very interested in other products, such as BackOffice Analytics, that Verint has to offer. I would just love to see a stronger partnership with Avaya.

Usability
The ability to auto tag, manually tag, make notes, and "snooze" posts is extremely helpful. The efficiency of the work flow for agents is also a huge plus. It keeps agents moving quickly and prioritizing responses for the cases that need it most.

Khoros Support has always very responsive and helpful when it comes to getting my issue/inquiry addressed. Their ticket portal is great for tracking any open tickets and they can be updated via the portal or by responding to the email thread. Support reps are always extremely knowledgeable and care about getting you taken care of

Implementing the platform was not a big hassle for our client, it was seamless and easy we just had to follow a few steps and it was done. Just scaling was a bit of an issue but it got resolved with time and a bit of effort at both ends

I haven't actually used any other WFO solutions as yet Verint has been apart of our organization since 2008/9 and i have been managing it since 2013/14. I have looked at alternative solutions in the past but none seem to ever come up to the same standard as Verint in all areas. We recently upgraded from Version 11 to 15.1 so we are still in the early stages of getting to grip with the newer version and all the added functionality.

Scalability
Of course as the company grows owing to its growing customer base, they need to think of out-of-the-box solutions to offer its clients and customer satisfaction is one of them. Retention is very much needed in competitive environment like today and hence it becomes imperative for companies to find different ways to reach their client basis and fix their issues

  • Employee efficiency was also up because of scorecards and adherence client which keeps agents on the ball
