I love the snoozing option as well as the copying of the email link to connect 2 emails that do not need to be intertwined with each other.

What do you like best about Front?

I love the ability to collaborate with other depts. For example, I tag my manager to review messaging, I tag in legal, solutions engineers, support and more. You cannot do anything similar on gmail or outlook or anything else that I have used. You can chat internally on top of emails! amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I am not trying to be dramatic when I say nothing, but I guess if i had to choose something it would be that there were more integrations at the corporate level. Like my company can set up something with salesforce that is robust. Or outreach as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front solves the problem for our inbox- I fully use Front in replacement of gmail inbox. I've been at my company for 2 years and haven't used it once. Front solves the collaboration problem where I would have to slack screenshots or copy and paste a message and get approval from a manager, a colleague, support, legal, etc. I can tag user in and quickly get a response.

What do you like best about Front?

- The multiple calendar scheduling options are Fantastic! I LOVE having multiple saved/preset customized links with specific availability windows and meeting gap rules; I use my links 5 out of 5 working days a week!

- Ability to add a comment & tag to provide visibility into a thread to another colleague with access to Front

- I am a fan of the dark mode - apparently, it's better for the longevity of my eyes/attention span, and I am here for that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

- Not sure of the cost structure on the backend, as I am simply an end user, but I wish some of my internal partners had the tool also so I could collaborate in a thread a little more with them

- With the calendar scheduling link feature, I wish you could limit how many instances a customer could use. I.e., only able to book one meeting in a span of XYZ # of days Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Front?

The possibilities to organize your mails with all the rules and the kind support of the implementation manager at Front Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

That some things like the reading window cannot be changed (from top to bottom or vica versa) and some email threads start from the button while when extending mails, some have to be read from the top to read in the right sequence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front is reducing the mails in my inbox and creating a more pleasent work flow that I dont miss a new email regarding the same thread and iscontributing in having a positive mindset because the overall mails are less when summarized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Front does exactly what it sets out to help you with, it allows my team to retain a personable approach with our clients, avoiding a faceless ticketing platform experience for them which would've been the case if we opted for a platform like Zendesk for example.

Front is easy and intuitive to use, it makes assigning emails within the team incredibly efficient and creates a good sense of visibility for us all.

The analytics feature within Front is also a huge plus and really allows us to delve deeper into the workload we're dealing with each month and helps us identify patterns with particular clients or areas for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

This is hard as so far our experience with Front has been extremely positive.

I wouldn't class this as a dislike but it would be great if in the future, the analytics can become more tailored to exactly what I want to track.

So more flexibility with the analytics capabilities would be amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front allows us to better track and manage our inbound client requests, there is better visibility of who is assigned to what, the tagging feature allows us to better categorise our client conversations too, which help us to pick up on cases where we may be overservicing a client for example, or the opposite in some cases.

What do you like best about Front?

It's easy to use, and nicely layed out. I found the settings straightforward and intuitive.

The collaboration elements such as chat and shared email draft are very nice. It was easy and important to setup SLAs, and tagging.

Syncing contacts and accounts from Hubspot was very useful to us, and setting up mapping/tagging rules around this was straightforward as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Honestly it's near perfect. The only thing that annoys me is when contacts / accounts fail to sync from Hubspot we get an error email.

We have no intention to tidy up the hundreds of 'broken' contacts / accounts, so ideally I'd like to turn off those sync error messages, unless the entire thing failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hubspot sync gives us context about the customers we are supporting through email.

We get SLAs which are a contractual requirement for us.

The shared inbox with chat/drafting as well as assigning is important as a ticketing style system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

As a marketing agency that monitors the inboxes of our clients, Front's value truly can't be calculated.

Being able to seamlessly switch from one account to another saves 2-3 hours EVERY single day.

Between that and the Discussion feature, Front is where we do the bulk of our work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Filters don't always work. I do wish that Front would follow rules set up in O365 as well.

I do also wish that the Trello integration allowed to view the board within Front - or that Front came up with their own bulletin board, stickie pad or whatever that was a third option. Email, Discussion, Bulletin Board.

To have that board view within Front would be out of this world amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're an agency with close to 50 email addresses to monitor all day long. In addition, we use Front discussions for internal communications, client notes, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Front makes collaboration simple. Wether it's ghost-writing an email to come from someone else, communicating with your team on next moves, or giving extra context for a colleague on an account you are handing off, Front has your back. Add in the ability to combine calendars to create a scheduling link for customers, easy to use interface, and the perfect snooze and remind functions, Front is my ideal work tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I'm reaching for cons here, but it would be nice to see 'suggested new time' for a meeting from Google when someone uses that option. Then I would never have to go into gmail ever again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front is solving the age-old issue of forwarding emails to give someone context, cowriting responses to bring back into an email, and all-around collaboration and communication issues you usually see when trying to work as a pod in a sales/cs/bdr capacity. This saves me probably hours per week and lots of general frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
