What do you like best about Front?

Updated to increase the rating. The Android app has got more reliable lately.

The Windows application for FrontApp is not bad and does work pretty well for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Updated to increase the rating. The Android app has got more reliable lately.

FrontApp doesn't care at all for their customers using their Android app. I've been a customer for about 1.5 years, and the mobile app is really bad here's a list of issues that haven't been fixed in 1.5 years. They even did a major update to v4.0 that was supposed to be a quality and new UI improvement, but it's as bad as it was before.

- It doesn't update the email the majority of the time in my primary inbox

- It will show emails that were archived days before

- Clicking edit on a draft nearly never works

- Front response to support about Android issues and says to clear cache as a solution when this happens (which is almost always)

- Current rating on Google Play is 2.3, and they totally ignore feedback

- Price is increasing, and they continue to ignore customers using Android Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Front:

If you use Android, I would recommend considering another product at least as of November 2021. I really do hope they improve their Android application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Team inbox management

- Assigning owners to an email

- Rules for assigning cases

- Internal commenting among team mates within emails to avoid forwarding emails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Hughes of Front

Thanks for the detailed feedback here and the update! Nice to hear that the improvements to the Android and Windows app are helping. The team really does appreciate hearing about both the good and not-so-good experiences. It sounds like you have been in touch with our support team previously. Please consider continuing to do so with any issues you experience, both so we can assist in the short term and also loop in our Product team and developers with specific issues that might need their input. Thanks again!

What do you like best about Front?

Front fixes some of the basic things of emails in a way that is now obvious. Being able to co-write emails and leave comments makes forwarding emails entirely redundant, saving your inbox a great deal. Being able to easily snooze emails when you send, so they only need actioning if they don't reply after say 7 days, also helps keeps things incredibly clear and organised. There are other powerful tools inside that we're just starting to use, such as using Accounts to get full visibility across org communication channels with certain external entities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Sometimes it can become a touch overcomplicated to do things. There are things that are usually simple, like setting a vacation responder or an email signature, that seem to glitch a bit more or be buried deep within menus. There are typically solutions, it just takes a bit of time and sometimes lateral thinking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The key issue Front solves is how to coordinate across remote teams working in multiple countries simultaneously. The collaboration tools are vital to ensure seamless email correspondence, and give the org a level of efficiency we typically expect from our processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Quick and easy communication, if I need to discuss an email from a potential customer or existing customer I can chat with my manager or colleague like whataspp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

There isn''t anything which I dislike about front. I would reccommend this platform to any sales team. I'd potentially go as far as saying I wouldn't join another company without Front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It makes decision making so much easier, when I need a second pair of eyes on an email I can simply add someone to the thread and we can collaborate on an email straight away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

We really appreciate this review, Joe. Hearing that you would potentially turn down another company who doesn't use Front is amazing, everyone should be using Front!! We'll continue to help you make those key decisions.

Front helps me with day-to-day Email management. I receive a mountain of emails every day and every email involves a lot of money so naturally, if I miss one, it will be a huge blow both personally and organizationally. With Front, it is a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how many folders you can have and the differenct access to accounts on the same front log in. I also love the archive function and the comment section at the bottom Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do think its a learning curve. I don't like when you send a message and it stays in your inbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Front is a very useful tool, I've been using it 24/7 for the last 2 years and I have no doubt that is awesome, It allows you to comment the emails with your partners, organize your emails, tag people, and even snooze emails, this puts them on the top of the tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The hardware that the use is simple, always the same, and kinda boring, they have glitches (not always) but it's very stressful for people like me that use that frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front helps me to share content with my coworkers, whenever I need help with something I can just tag them and I will be able to get a response in less than 3 minutes, that is what I like the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

I find the snooze tool most helpful for staying organized and following up on short and long term commitments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Sometimes my sent emails do not have all of the tags available until I put it in a different inbox and unassign/reassign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front helps me stay organized and makes it easy to follow up on numerous tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi Liz! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! I find that snoozing conversations is also constructive when follow-up may be needed.

We'd be more than happy to investigate why sometimes your emails don't show the appropriate tags. Feel free to contact us at support@frontapp.com with the issue, and we can review it! Thanks again, Liz!
