Engagor (discontinued)
Chose Engagor (discontinued)
We evaluated Hootsuite, Coosto and Sparkcentral. Our contract with Engagor will end in 2016 so we’re currently looking at other tools as well. We made a selection between 9 or 10 tools and we are evaluating them to see which one is most valuable.
Chose Engagor (discontinued)
Engagor is the most complete tool for us and their great customer service is a big plus.
Chose Engagor (discontinued)
Engagor has the most functions among them, which are critical to us - at an appropriate price level. The available integrations could also prove to be beneficial on the long run.
Chose Engagor (discontinued)
Using the combination of different tools led to an unorganized structure. We’d tagged on Radian6 and answered on the mentions via the classical FB pages or TweetDeck. This led to great efficiency loss which was captured and organised very well with our new tool, Engagor.
Chose Engagor (discontinued)
We`ve tried dozens of tools and we've used 3 of them during one year at least. If you work on this you probably know tha the perfect tool doesn't exist, and it never will, but Engagor is pretty close to what we need as a company. If I have to say a competitor it would be really …
Chose Engagor (discontinued)
Sprout Social is good for smaller accounts with limited traffic. Some insights available but often questionable data. Only picks up direct interaction (i.e. doesn't monitor likes or favourites). Sysomos was used for a while, but spent ages defining search times still producing …
Chose Engagor (discontinued)
We used a product prior to 2012 called Looxii that is no longer available. We went with Engagor primarily out of necessity, but also because it delivered more for our business/client objectives within our budget than the other products we demo'd. Our selection base was around …

Chose Khoros Service
Lacking in updated user guides. Limited in things that can be done when tasks and assignments are pushed. The program overall needs a refresh to be more eye catching and appealing to users. Great reporting and options. Should be linked to Excel, would save time. Khoros is good …
Chose Khoros Service
As I know Khoros Service was chosen for its strong omnichannel support, advanced automation and detailed analytics capabilities.
Chose Khoros Service
We chose Khoros Care as our main tool in catering or responding to any reachouts like messages, comments, and reviews by our members through our social media.

Chose Khoros Service
In my opinion, Khoros Marketing is superior to Khoros Care in every way except queue management. Sprinklr, Hootsuite, and Social Studio are all similar products in terms of responding to users, but they are not as flexible with labeling.
Chose Khoros Service
KC fails to punch up. More features, reliability etc come as an offering with other products.
Chose Khoros Service
The user interface was much more personable, and we found we had overall less issues with the program itself.
Chose Khoros Service
Khoros is a well-known provider. It has a good support system. Known for its enterprise scalability, social listening, and AI based automation.
Chose Khoros Service
Zendesk was too big and complex, way more functionalities than we needed and that made the onboarding process dificult.
Chose Khoros Service
Khoros is more than just a platform for social publishing. No other competitor provides the in-depth moderation and social listening services that they do. If you're looking for a one-stop-shop of a platform for all things social, this is the tool to be using. Others are better …
Chose Khoros Service
Both Khoros and Zendesk offer robust customer engagement solutions, but Khoros stands out in several ways. While Zendesk provides excellent ticketing and support functionalities, Khoros extends beyond traditional customer service, offering a comprehensive suite that includes …

Chose Khoros Service
Community is imperative, Khoros CXInsights is a product that we are still adapting to and needs more mature social integration to realize its value, and Khoros Marketing turned out to be a product that we use less frequently due to the scope of our team being mainly focused on …

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.

Likelihood to Renew
We have renewed with Engagor on a month-to-month basis. In my experience some of the glitches Engagor experiences are too risky for some of the large brands my team handles. We want to use a listening/monitoring tool that we can trust as this service is something the company uses every single day. For our budget, as well, we would like to have more data space for search, as we do new business presentations quite frequently. When auditing new business social platforms, we like to give them a look at the competitive landscape on social, which can take up a lot of space for business that may not even come to fruition. I've updated this review to reflect that I am no longer in a role that regularly collects social media data or compiles reports, so I defer to my colleagues for an official recommendation on listening tools or other channels that might perform the same service as Engagor.

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.

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.
