Khoros pricing varies based on the platform features, number of users, and specific business needs. Costs typically start at around $50,000 annually for basic plans, but larger enterprises requiring advanced features and integrations may see pricing increase significantly.

What is Khoros Communities?

Khoros Communities is a platform designed to help businesses build and manage online communities for customer engagement, support, and collaboration. It provides features like discussion forums, knowledge bases, Q&A boards, and gamification to encourage interaction and knowledge sharing. The platform helps brands reduce support costs, increase customer loyalty, and gain valuable insights through community analytics. It integrates seamlessly with other tools, making it a powerful solution for fostering meaningful customer connections.

How does Khoros Communities compare to Zendesk?

Khoros Communities and Zendesk serve different primary purposes but overlap in customer support and engagement. Khoros Communities focuses on building online communities with features like discussion forums, peer-to-peer support, and gamification to foster engagement and reduce support costs. It's ideal for organizations aiming to create collaborative spaces for customers to connect and share knowledge.

Zendesk, on the other hand, is primarily a customer service and support platform with tools for ticket management, live chat, and help desks. While it offers a community forum feature, its strengths lie in direct customer support and agent workflows rather than community engagement.

Choosing between them depends on your goals: Khoros is better suited for fostering long-term customer collaboration and engagement, while Zendesk excels in handling direct support inquiries efficiently. Some businesses even integrate both for a comprehensive support and engagement strategy.

Does Khoros have a Salesforce integration?

Yes, Khoros offers a Salesforce integration to streamline workflows between customer engagement and CRM systems. This integration allows you to sync data between Khoros Communities or Khoros Care and Salesforce, enabling features like case creation, escalation, and tracking directly from community interactions or social conversations. It helps improve customer support efficiency and provides a unified view of customer interactions across platforms. For specific integration capabilities, it's recommended to review the integration documentation or consult with Khoros directly.
