Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used to use Khoros Social Media Management as our social media management tool, but at that time the interface felt outdated, and the platform didn't have as much powerful tools as their competitors. The Analytics module by the way is really impressive, and that's a good point to highlight. Overall Khoros Social Media Management didn't fit our needs so we changed the social media management platform to another one more "mature" and "robust".

Pros

Analytics module
Basic post scheduling
Smart scheduling

Cons

Lack of native social networks functions
Outdated UI
Steep learning curve

Return on Investment

Easy post scheduling
track brand's reputation
Powerful analytics tools
