(Original )Information
What do you like best about Front?

Front brings together various communication channels, such as email, social media, and messaging, into a single interface. This can be highly convenient for teams as it reduces the need to switch between multiple apps and tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

While Front's features can be powerful, they might also require a learning curve for new users to fully grasp the app's capabilities and customization options. Depending on the size of the team and the features needed, Front's pricing might be a concern for some organizations, especially smaller ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front offers a promising solution for us seeking to improve their communication and collaboration processes. Its centralization of communication channels, collaboration features, and automation options can significantly enhance team efficiency. However, its benefits might be more apparent for teams dealing with a high volume of incoming messages or customer inquiries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Sharing emails with internal comments is great. Shared inbox management works well on the whole. Analytics is good, with room for further improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Overall, we don't feel like we're getting value for money. It's a very expensive system, which has the potential to create more issues than it resolves, due to the complexity of rules and staff not understanding how archiving works etc. Calendar functionality is greatly lacking. The onboarding process delivered by Front was a waste of time, we ended up taking it over internally. Setup / configuration and training of staff is much more involved than anticipated. Front has taken a lot of internal resource in administration and training, and has not turned out to be the "gamechanger" it was sold as. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we use lot of numbers invovling trucking and it helps to be able to look into ayone email to find imformation 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! We definitely hear you on the difficulties of picking up and learning a new piece of software as comprehensive as Front. That's why we recently launched Front Academy! Front Academy is a self-paced training program that will teach admins how to set up Front, show your team how to use it for their daily work, and contains many other topics that we are continuously adding to.

It’s included with your Front plan and you simply need to log in with your Front account. It’s designed to fully onboard and train your team, and of course our team is always here if you have additional questions that you don’t find answered there! Feel free to reach out to us at support@frontapp.com anytime.

See how Front improved

What do you like best about Front?

The ability to have to discussions within an email thread is fantastic. It makes collaboration a breeze and incredibly convenient. Conversations are easily found and linking a user to a conversation is easier than any other email service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Front has a lot of ways making conversation more accessible for the company but it would be great if Admins were able to limit more conversation. As a developer, people can quickly get around our ticketing system and just mention developers into the threads where they have issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front makes it easy to keep my desktop and inbox clear of clutter with the ability to comment on email threads. This way, someone doesn't need to forward me an email, they can just mention me below in a comment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi Sam, thanks for taking the time to leave this review! We have heard feedback about allowing admins more accessibility to limit conversations and features from the team to help streamline some of ther functionality to better fit their company's workflows, and your feedback is absolutely heard. We're more than happy to relay this over to our Product team, as they are very receptive to constructive feedback directly from our users!
