What do you like best about Front?

I like the tagging system and the fact that it's connected to your email so you don't have to double check everything. Also that you can take over someone's draft and stop your colleague from making a mistake. And the fact that you can leave internal notes. That is very helpful.

In gereral, I would say that FrontApp is easy to use and it has a lot of cool features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Sometimes it will not apply new permissions right away and I have to restart the application. And also when accesing the statistics it sometimes shows 5% and loading status at the top, but that number never changes and the loading is not progressing, so in those cases I have to repoad the application again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front is the connecting element between the Client Support team and the customers. Without it it would be impossible to assist people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this candid feedback, Dmitrii! We're thrilled that there are several features you're finding useful 😊 Regarding Analytics, if a report is particularly large, it can indeed take some time to load. One quick trick is to change the report parameters, like adding a tag to the filters, that won't affect your actual numbers (i.e. a tag that isn't actually used anywhere).

If you find yourself having these loading issues more often, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support team at support@frontapp.com 👍

What do you like best about Front?

I appreciate Front for its intuitive interface and its ability to facilitate collaboration between colleagues, especially thanks to the shared inbox and multiple integrations that improve productivity. I really like the fact that we can exchange in intern with teams about the emails directly under the conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

However, I would like the application to improve the management of notifications, sometimes a little invasive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front solves several problems by centralizing communications with customers and suppliers, which simplifies order tracking and information retrieval. Thanks to the collaborative interface, I can easily share conversations with my colleagues and quickly process requests, thus improving the efficiency and responsiveness of our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

My 3 favorite things!

I love comments between departments/team members to share information without creating new emails every time.

I love creating tags to manage my inbox.

I love snoozing something so I am reminded to review later without clogging my inbox.

I am always learning new things in Front - I try it out - see if it works for me then either use it or don't. There is so much to learn in Front - I love love love that it is always evolving making the user experience much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

My least favorite thing:

I like to view emails top/bottom vs how Front is set up side/side. I would love for that to be an option some day. Snapshot of email contents on top rather than listed on the left and reading pane on the bottom rather than on the right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communicating with team members on one topic or email. I am able to loop in whoever I need to on an email conversation without creating more emails in our inboxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

My favorite feature using Front is being able to comment on an email thread and message internally with coworkers and team members about that thread or conversation with an external individual. This helps us solve problems and learn more about our own system, while assisting our clients! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I think a downside within Front is receiving duplicate emails if an external individual directs their email to multiple emails within our company. Another flaw is not being able to easily merge conversations if they are in different locations within Front, such as one email in someone's inbox and another email in a general, shared inbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front helps me and my team connect with our clients, successfully assist them, and solve problems together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you so much for this valuable feedback! I'm glad to hear Front was able to help you learn more about your own system. We really appreciate the feedback around not being able to easily merge convos and duplicate emails and will be sure to share this information with our product team.

What do you like best about Front?

I like how easy it is to collaborate with colleagues and gain insights into customer needs. I really like that you can share certain conversations with guests via email instead of needing to add them as users. I also use the Jira, Slack and ClickUp integrations a lot to create tasks and provide additional context for things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

- Creating new emails from templates is cumbersome. This is my biggest gripe with Front as I often use it to send out personalised Product update emails, which I do using a template. I would like to be able to select "From Template" from the "Compose" button drop down.

- I would like a direct integration with Notion as it's our central documentation tool.

- I've found that not everything syncs with my GMail box in terms of archiving, starring etc so I have to periodically go in and clean up my GMail box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It makes it very easy to collaborate on communications with customers - it's really useful to be able to get input on my messaging from different people in different teams before sending it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! It's great to know you're having a positive experience, especially with our integrations! We understand your frustrations with creating new emails from templates and the lack of a direct integration with Notion. Please feel free to contact our support team at any time at support@frontapp.com for assistance! Overall, it's great to hear that Front is helping you collaborate effectively with your colleagues and streamline your communication with customers. Thank you for being a valued Front user, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance or have more feedback to share.

What do you like best about Front?

I like that the way it display emails helps to keep track of everything, since it was implemented, our team is happy and is more productive, the customer support is easier and it helps to use it frecuently since it is easy to integrate.

I think is really good, maybe a way of tracking the email will be good to implement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Front was easy to train my team on and transition from our previous platform. It integrated well both with our in-house products and third-party integrations. As an admin, the in conversation messages logging makes troubleshooting rules and routing a breeze.

Most of all, though, I enjoy that Front provides a much more conversational experience for our customers and an easy and intuative interface for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Sometimes the way that Frton threads or groups messages can be frustrating. For example, after sending an email to a group of customers experiencing a delay, Front will thread all of those message responses together, because they corespond to the same initiating email, which means they need to be manually separated and addressed. Aside from these small issues, we have found Front to ber ery intuative and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front is helping us provide conversational, multi-channel customer support. It helps integrate with our systems so that solving customer issues is more efficent, and support teams can communicate directly with other teams to resolve customer issues when needed. Front is helping us develop a help center and AI chat that is right-sized for our business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Hughes of Front

Hi Cassidy, thanks so much for your review. Great to hear that the conversational experience for your customers is a hit. We'd love to hear more about the threading issues you are experiencing here. If you haven't already, feel welcome to reach out to support@frontapp.com with more details.
