What do you like best about Front?

The best thing I like about Front is its collaboration capabilities. My team members can view, comment, and share files by just tagging them in the comment section, letting me not forward and start a new conversation, hence saving time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only limitation is that we need to reauthorize and sign in every couple of days, which is hectic and sometimes irritating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front provides us with a unified platform where my colleagues across departments can share their inputs in real-time, minimizing the response time. Also, its automation features mitigate, hence improving efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi Nur! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We greatly appreciate the feedback! I, too, love being able to mention other teammates in comments. It truly helps with the collaboration process.

Additionally, if you feel like you have to reauthorize your inbox often, please reach out to our support team, and we can see if anything is going on on the back end!

What do you like best about Front?

I like having a shared inbox in Front so that my sales assistants can review and answer all my emails. Any important stuff an be assigned to me, but my sales assistants are like my 'front' line. Now we are managing 3 x more traffic landing in my inbox than I could do on my own.

I love that when you get stuck with a technical question, you can tag your colleague or boss for a quick answer without having to the forward emails and create extra traffic.

You can add attachments in the comments and set=up rules for when things go unanswered for too long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I dislike how sometimes I end up with the same email in two or more places and more than one conversation thread exists for the same inbound query.

A source of frustration is that I cannot easily review my juniors' Sent mail to supervise the quality of communications.

I think the AI add-on can turn a concise note back to the customer into an overly elaborate and soulless email response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Overwhelming volume in my inbox is manageable, and all correspondence and replies are visible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

It makes it a breeze to pass communications along internally. We can reassign e-mails, share them, comment on them. Often I'll respond to an e-mail with a phone call and Front allows me to makes notes about the call attached directly to the e-mail. It's also made it easier to communicate with clients; they can contact us via e-mail to anyone on the team or even via text and we'll receive the communication in the same place internally and it can even be auto directed to the correct person based on rules. It was really easy to get my team onboard and using the app. Everyone can see the advantages and has bought in 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The pricing tiers can be rough. I would love to upgrade to the next tier but the price difference is huge. I'm also capped at 10 accounts on the current pricing tier, so if I grow at all there's going to be a very large incremental jump in cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has broken e-mails out of silos. Now the team can instantly share e-mails with each other. No need to forward e-mails, they can be shared or reassigned directly and responded to by the correct person. Using the rules and shared inboxes gives me visibility as the owner over communications witout having to be cc'd constantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback! We really love to hear about how Front has helped you and your team.

What do you like best about Front?

I love that we can share, tag and seamlessly collaborate on email exchanges internally without having to send long email threads and risk confusing the customer by accidentally copying them. I also love the templates, workflows and setting time feature on emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish there was some way to automatically assign mail that coems into the normal inbox into front as the owner to manage it all one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front is solving the challenge that our business had around collaboration and feedback on cxustomer emails. We also use it as our source and workflow to quicky respond and manage inbound inquiries across multiple teams/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

All emails from different mailboxes now come together in one single app only

Emails showed as a thread integrates with chat and internal discussions, and can be easily share the thread for someone else by sharing the thread links or simply tagging their name in the thread. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The setting/preferences are a bit complex for users to find and tailor to suit their needs.

Multiple notifications will pop-up for the same messages if multiple tab are opened, which sometimes caused annoyance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Increase emails handling turn-around time, i.e. no need to open many browsers for difference mailboxes.

Internal discussion function could be used under the email thread so no need to forward emails back and forth for other people (email thread link could be shared instead in another thread or tagging that person's name in the email thread). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front
