What do you like best about Front?

The UI is brilliant and I love the fact that we can comment without sending another email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Some of the integrations break from time to time but none of the critical ones. So this becomes a dislike because I have to dislike something per this review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Front:

Front is on the expensive side for more than 15 inboxes; So, be prepared to pay a fair amount for multi-users when you have over 15. I would love to see more integrations with other phone systems such as Ringcentral and At&t similar to how Cloze works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking to solve collaboration and the 'lost' emails that tend to go into oblivion when they are sent to shared inboxes. For example, privacy@mycompany.com can now be monitored by most anyone easily without a lot of setup and management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

I like that I can comment on emails and tag my teammates without having to forward them. It is a great collaborative tool and you can easily check previous comments. It is also easy to manage and look at Calendars for the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Searching for past emails. I would have to check all inboxes (or categories like OPEN, UNASSIGNED, ARCHIVED) for me to find what what I'm looking for. Maybe because I'm new to the system so I have not truly explored shortcuts or better ways to manage my search.

I find it quite confusing to check which ones are the latest or most recent response when reading long trails of email. Although there is the "jump to most recent" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Team collaboration, especially for remote workers. Front is a great tool to manage emails among team members who rely only on videos and chats to communicate with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled that Front's comment and tagging features are enhancing your team's remote collaboration. I appreciate your feedback about search functionality and email threading - we're constantly working to improve these areas and the details you provided are definitely important to us!

What do you like best about Front?

Front really can make the work easy. The transparency of whoever is currently working or replying to a certain client is also visible and it can easily be taken over whenever things might go wrong for example in our line of business, if an agent need to hand over the conversation to a supervisor, it can easily be transferred. Also front can be integrated with other softwares which can be more efficient in our daily tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

In some scenarios, Front app in mobile phone can't function that much of the web access. Some notifications are too many to sort of if you're receiving large volume of messages such as SMS or chat coming from replies from the automation sent by the integrated software, sometime it overwhelms. There are also times that the Front app crashes and is not recommended to use on phone while you're in a weak signal of internet connection or mobile data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Front tackles a lot of communication headaches for teams. One major problem it solves is the disorganization of managing multiple email threads and messaging platforms like working with SMS. With Front, you can handle all your communication channels such as emails, chats, and even social media messages in one place. The integration capabilities of Front helps s process of tasks seamless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

What do you like best about Front?

What I like best about Front is its organized folders you can share across different team members. It allows for a collaborative experience, while still providing you with a unique user experience. After learning how to use the draft feature, I have not looked back! I use it daily because of how easy it is to work on drafts and have others be able to take over. I truly enjoy the way you can tag accounts and pull up information quickly. When I spoke to a Front member from customer support, he was quick to answer and very helpful. Their staff is reliable, professional, and Knowledgeable. Overall, I have had an incredible user experience with Front, as well as their customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

So far, I have not had any issues with Front that would affect my positive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is solving the problem of maintaining communication under a thread. Working in a 24/7 environment, it is hard to respond from the same email thread and have access to information, especially when someone is on vacation or online. With Front, we are all able to have access to messages and take over drafts when needed. Allowing internal comments is also a huge added bonus, because it allows us to make comments for other team members to see and keep information updates stored within each thread, without affecting what the customer on the other end sees. It also solves contact tagging problems by giving us a way to better organize and filter contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased that Front's collaborative features like shared folders, draft handoffs, and internal comments are enhancing your team's communication in your 24/7 environment, and it's especially gratifying to hear that our customer support team provided you with such a positive experience.

What do you like best about Front?

Sharing inboxes! Having this function allows work to be allocated equally amongst the whole team and provide us with clear visual of workflow and daily tasks. This helps us plan for the day/week ahead without surprises. Front helps transfer data from our email server quickly and efficiently from all inboxes so there's no chance of missing important updates. Because of this, I can rely solely on Front for daily tasks. It has become an essential part of our workflow and we utilize it daily and throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this tool for any business that needs to allocate time, resources, or expertise to a large population of employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I've noticed an issue with receiving multiple emails from 1 personal regarding different topics often get lumped into the same thread even though they are unrelated. This makes it difficult to see all required tasks. But this is a rare occurrence and only happens when we receive multiple emails within the same time frame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Front allows our team to work more cohesively for larger tasks/projects and streamline workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thanks for the great review! We're so glad the shared inboxes are helping your team with workflow and task management. We appreciate your feedback about the occasional email threading issue and are happy to know Front is streamlining your projects. Your recommendation is valued!

What do you like best about Front?

At first, Front started off as a great communication tool with very minimal implementation required. Instead of forwarding emails amongst co-workers and teams we were able to keep it all in one spot. Then it became our pivotal Customer Support tool, which was a big game changer. The ability to create shared inboxes for our different teams and move tickets around is pivotal. Integrating Front with Salesforce and Jira easily has allowed us to keep everything organized. We use Front exclusively now for our emails and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Occasional outages - but as a fellow software company we realize this is par for the course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Front makes clearing out my inbox easy. I no longer have to worry about thousands of emails piling up. Front makes something that was burdensome into something that is manageable. The implementation of Front was super easy thanks to the people that helped us. Their customer support is unmatched. They always give timely responses and they're always willing to help. I and the company I work for use Front daily and it has brought our response times down significantly. It has a number of features that we use, but I personally love the analytics side of things. I use it in my morning reports for our CEO. And lastly, Front was very easy to integrate. Front makes it easy to integrate our workflow and translate that into efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only downside that I can think of is maybe the search feature. I have had a few people complain about not being able to find emails that they search for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Front is helping solve our response time issues. We were just using regular old Gmail before we switched and emails were getting cluttered and overwhelming. Now with Front, we have taken on the "Zero Inbox" mentality and are now responding to customer emails in a much more timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Patrick V of Front

What do you like best about Front?

The AI features, like tagging and automated suggestions, are not only impressive but genuinely helpful. They streamline email management and ensure nothing important slips through the cracks. It's also a breeze to collaborate within the team, thanks to the platform's clean design and user-friendly interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Unlike Outlook, it doesn't allow mentioning someone external to my company using the '@' feature in the email body, which would be a valuable addition. Auto-capitalization for sentences would be great too, especially for quicker typing. Lastly, while the AI spelling and grammar checker works well, retaining images in emails during corrections would make it even better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Front has been a game-changer for teamwork and keeping everyone accountable. With shared inboxes, tagging, and the ability to leave internal comments, it’s so much easier to collaborate and make sure nothing gets missed. Assigning conversations to team members is so easy, which has really helped us avoid any mix-ups or doubling up on tasks.

The analytics and reporting tools are brilliant too. They’ve given us proper insights into how we’re doing, like tracking response times and spotting areas to improve. It’s also helped us get a better handle on client satisfaction, which has been a big win for building stronger relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

It’s fast, just as slick on mobile. Also the shared inbox -- especially canned templates and @internal comments make collaboration effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I’d love deeper AI assistance that reads the whole conversation thread and drafts responses automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Front pulls every support email, chat, and social DM into one shared inbox, so nothing falls through the cracks. Built-in assignments, SLAs, and analytics let us reply faster while tracking team performance in real time. And with the Linear integration we can turn a message into a bug/feature ticket and automatically circle back to the customer when it ships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

What do you like best about Front?

I like that I can get my assigned statements, emails, and I can just type @coworkers name to involve them in an email conversation instead of having to forward it. When I finish with emails and assigned tickets, I can archive them and don't have to hit like three different icons to do so. It's an easy program to use and I use it every single day for work. I used Microsoft Outlook prior to using Front, and it was very easy to integrate from Outlook to Front. The ease of using this program is so easy, that I haven't had to contact Customer Support at all. But they are just a click away if I do need them. Front is a much easier program to use than Microsoft Outlook and I really love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only thing I don't like is when I respond to an email it automatically archives it. Sometimes I need to keep the email, and I have to actually click on the drop down menu to just hit send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't have to go to a different program to get my statements. I have my emails, and one click I'm in my assigned tasks. It cuts down a lot on my time of looking for statements. They are also very easy to save from Front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Front supports great email format for inter office communication with in a email chain. I am able to ask questions to co workers that they can see as well to have a proper response back to clients. I love the ability to set different snoozes to emails to alert back to me in the timely manner i prefer.

Having it work with in tandem with the program Monday eases the work load and the repetition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only down side and its mostly me would be to have a longer time with the send timer before it actually sends the email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

By having the ability to snooze, remind and archive I am able to stay on top of whats most important but still have things on the back burner Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for sharing your experience with Front! It's wonderful to hear how our collaborative features enhance your team communication within email chains, allowing you to seamlessly consult colleagues before responding to clients. I appreciate your feedback about extending the send delay timer - that's valuable input for our product team.
