What do you like best about Front?

Front it super usefull, when you are working in a team. Evenwith other offices you can easily share a mail/conversation and keep your colleague up to date. I used before an other mailprogram and it was totally ease to learn the functions of Front. We use only this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Sometimes it's hard to get some mails private. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The comunication between my department and other departmens is way better than with other tools and it's easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Patrick V of Front

Hi Emil, thanks for leaving your review! Understanding what is working well for users is helpful for us understanding what we've been doing correct, and knowing that your team has trouble with the private inbox aspect of Front is helpful to know where we can continue to improve moving forward!

What do you like best about Front?

While Front does resemble your average email inbox, it's simplicity and clean user interface make it superior to Outlook or Gmail alone. While I am an organized individual already, Front has even improved my follow-up and organization of the many projects and deadlines I work with.

The teams that I support have found significant value in the tagging, response time, and analytics. It has allowed the team to balance the workload across the team members, and provide executive leadership with insights to the workload of the team, which is otherwise not quantifiable without Front.

Also, it is already improving our customer experience, by integrating our websites chat function, right into Front, improving our response times and consolidating the work for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only limitation that I have run into, is the ability to forward calendar events that I am not the creator/organizer of the event. I spoke with support, they confirmed this is a current limitation, and there was already an enhancement/feature request case for this, and they gave me the link so that I could cast my vote to prioritize this enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With the tagging and assigning features, we now have analytics and concrete numbers to the workload the team is doing. This has been very eye-opening to upper management, to see the volume of customer emails the team is managing, how many quotes they are producing each day, which customer are the most 'needy', etc. This is allowing us to provide data to support cases for increasing staffing to the team. It also allows us to see the highest volume times of day and day of week, to most efficently staff the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

There are no downsides of using Front. The Front customer service teams ensure that when you make the transition over to Front that all team members are prepared and trained in how to conduct business on Front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Front is able to ensure that our sales reps have a single platform to respond to a variety of customer requests across multiple communication platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

What I love about this incredible tool is how it helps keep everything organized. It really enhances communication within the team, especially with the internal comment feature on each email. Plus, you can easily see who's working on or reading a specific email, making it simple to assign tasks appropriately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Sometimes, when you receive emails from people who aren't using your main platform, like Gmail users, it can create a separate email thread or even send those emails to spam. This can cause you to miss important messages if you're not paying close attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One of the main issues with our shared inbox was disorganization and getting flooded with emails all at once. But with Front, our company has been able to keep everything organized using its assignment tool. This allows each person to focus on their tasks more effectively, making us all more productive and efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

What's best about front is to know exactly what emails each user has to be involved with, but also the ability to manage an email amongst other groups. For example there might be an email that comes to a Customer Service team but it's actually best for Finance, well taking that email and simply applying it to the other group is super simple and doesn't create the same confusion that just forwarding does. It's also really easy to use. There's barely any learning curve needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only real downfall I've been able to find is that it can get a little tricky in creating rules. Some rules will fire and they're simple to understand but if I can create a filter in the searchbar that returns results, the same filters for a rule should yield the same and it sometimes doesn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We rolled Front out to our dispatch team first as they are constantly inundated with emails. The two problems it solved was being able to now quantify the email activity amongst that team but more importantly it drives accountability to who's responsible to handle the matter instead of just the group seeing an email come in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi Ernie!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're thrilled to hear that you find our platform helpful in managing team emails and improving collaboration across departments. It's great to know that the simplicity of assigning emails to the appropriate teams has reduced confusion and streamlined your workflow.

Regarding your feedback on the rule creation process, we understand how important it is for these features to work seamlessly. We're always looking to improve, so we'll pass your comments on to our product team for further consideration. If you have any specific examples or additional details, feel free to share them with us at support@frontapp.com!

Thank you again for your feedback, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more suggestions or need further assistance!

What do you like best about Front?

I can say two things : first the way you handle emails (archive & snooze) to set your mind free while working on important stuff, then the fact you can have direct access to good features like the translation, ai assistant and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Only a few things: no translation in the interface. Unfortunately, not all users speak English. It would be nice to have internationalization. And secondly, the KB which is great, but the internal KB links in the desktop app don't allow sharing when you pop them up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Handle messages between teams and get rid of the internal forwarding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

It's ease of use from the moment you start using it. You'll keep on finding useful tools and features the more you use and dig into it. It helps a lot with sharing the workload and general info along your team. Whenever we're having issues with the platform or if we want to implement a feature, the team is always there to support and assist in a timely manner. It's our daily tool for handling emails and assisting customers, and it definitely helps to delegate work and have a good communication and visibility with the whole team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I don't have any complains at the moment. Once you figure out the features, you shouldn't have issues on the way the app works overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is solving our daily problem of finding a way to divide and share the workload among all the teammates, which makes it equal and also gives us a good visual over the whole operation and what's needed. It also helps us on saving time with the feature to create scripts. The automation for assigning emails and managing the shared inboxes is also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

This is such great feedback, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts 🥰 It's brilliant to hear that you're getting such good use out of Front and our treasure trove of features 😁
