Shared inboxes, applying tags to emails, the abity to assign and comment around emails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

SO HARD to serach!! The search bar casts a way too wide net. If i'm looking for a phrase with an 'a' in it, the results will pull every single email with the letter 'a' -- which is not helpful at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Really great inbox management and inter-business comms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

The ease of communication with collegue in front is breathtaking. It helps a lot in minimizing the number of emails and lets you keep an eye on collegue work or issue easily.

You can cross reference to multiple email chains in the comment sections and this is now an integral part of our operation process.

Ease of use, ease of setting up new user.

Rules are a godsend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Nothing really as a e-mail manager it runs flawlesly. I think the only little caveat is that synching the google calendar with front doesnt work 100% as you cannot modify others people event from front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Confusion from forwarding over message to team member and the ability to instantly take over a collegues email of add notes to align them with the company's goal straight in their e-mail manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front has completely changed the way I lead teams. Front has allowed me to better organize my existing customer communications as well as segment customer conversations in way that is the most helpful. Fronts analytics give me insight into the ways we are meeting customer's expectations in a singular view. I am an avid Front user and will advocate for it in any company I work for. I have even grown to love it for my personal life.

Front's top features include the following:

Ability to view all Group inboxes and route conversations in (1) workspace.

Ability to integrate with platforms such as Shopify, Salesforce etc.

Contact view to view all history.

Collaboration tools (Tagging,assigment, sharing drafts)

What do you dislike about Front?

The one thing that would be an improvement for Front would be the ability to add calendar views into the mobile experience. Having the multiple inboxes and channels but not being able to have a singular calendar like it is on the desktop versions, it's a downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front allows my team to better organize and manage their workflow. The Inbox zero mentality has allowed for my team to meet service levels and improve CSAT scores. It has also allowed me to better understand staffing needs and which customers are getting the best support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

I like the ease of use. Front is easy to learn, easy to teach, reliable. Front provides a platform where we can communicate with a multitude of people and departments simultaneously - has become a integral part of performing my job efficiently . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

When Front experiences issues, text messages can become delayed or Fail to send entirely. This requires resending and can delay important communication at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front solves the problem of different modalities of communicating sometimes create - it's very simple to use Front with customers, inter and intra departmentally as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Hughes of Front

What do you like best about Front?

I love everything in Front, but especially the snooze option! Working with Front makes you save time on a daily basis! What's more, you can assign your colleagues part of your emails and discuss whatever you need in threads. I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

When you send an email to many people, you receive their answers in the same thread and some answers can be missed.

It would be great if Front could add different colours to every answer you receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Postponing tasks for another day makes you be more productive and you don't keep seeing these tasks the previous days if you are busy with other important projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

We really appreciate this great review, thanks so much for sharing. We're delighted to hear Front saves you time daily. I love the idea of having an option of having different email colour coordinated. We'd love for you to share this feedback on the attached link.

What do you like best about Front?

Being able to collaborate with co-workers is once if the best things about to. But not having to file emails is also something I really like once I have dealt with it I acrchive it. Folders are so yesterday. Compared to outlook or gmail. It's a far superior email system.

Oh and sequencing. Oh how I heart you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

There are a couple of UI issues that I don't like about front. For example if I right click and email in the inbox no options pop up. I have to use the three dots to find the options.

It would be good if options popped up on right click so it's easier to send to spam etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front solves the problem of not having to forward to a colleague. You tag and talk it's so simple. It allows me to be more productive as I don't have to create a second email chain to talk about it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

The best thing about Front is having shared inboxes, ensuring you don't miss anything important. Additionally, during your time off, colleagues can check your inbox to verify if there is anything crucial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

If somebody accidentally erases or archives any email, you can miss it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The shared inboxes, ensuring you don't miss anything important Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback! I agree that shared inboxes make a huge difference, couldn't live without them now!

Regarding someone accidentally erasing/archiving an email, did you know that the "Archived" and "Trash" tabs will retain those messages, and you can even quickly scan those tabs to see if you've already read the messages, since the read status is maintained between tabs? I hope that helps! Thanks again.

What do you like best about Front?

The management and organization you are able to attain by using Front is substantially better than any vanilla software system. Being able to quickly organize different topics within my inbox has been huge in increasing productivity. And then being able to integrate our software into a plugin that works alongside Front has been huge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I think the biggest drawback for me is really down to user error at the end of the day. I want to be notified on my phone of discussions I'm apart of without being @mentioned into them. I have missed a few things outside office hours as I am not regularly checking my inbox. If discussions could notify like emails, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front has helped us keep our millions of emails organized and quickly accessible. Being able to quickly find all emails tagged with 'x' has been great for all our teams across the board. Also, being able to be @mentioned into conversations has allowed for a level of convenience that is very much so appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for telling us about your experience using Front Charly. Nice to hear our collaboration features are working so well for you. As an operations platform extending well past just email communication, I can appreciate the curve involved in getting to know the full potential Front. If you haven't already seen our Front Academy, where we have an ever-growing range of learning pathways, and as always, feel more than welcome to reach out to our support team any time.
