"It makes work very efficient"
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?

The ability to tag teammates in comments within an email thread helps us get things done so much faster. It's easy to get on the same page and move things forward.

The "Assigned to me", "Shared with me", and personal inboxes are also helpful for staying organized and prioritizing.

Bottom line: Font helps our team to be more collaborative, efficient, and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I haven't done a deep dive into all of the tools, so I'm speaking from the most basic use of Front, but I have no significant complaints. Sometimes it's not easy to find archived emails--the search function isn't the most helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front saves me a lot of back-and-forth time with teammates. The ability to comment on a specific line of an email or tag a colleague in a comment to loop them into a conversation helps us get on the same page and be more efficient. Not copying and pasting an email into another team chat saves our slack inboxes and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

The change in mindset to shared communication and the goal to archive or snooze conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The calendar functionality is an afterthought, so that's a bit difficult to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had closed visibility between our teams. Now we have an ability to collaborate without any hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're happy to hear that Front has helped bridge the gap between visibility and your teams. We'd love to hear about any improvements we can make to our Calendar feature. You can provide feedback in our Front Community- https://community.front.com/

What do you like best about Front?

Using Front saves my team significant hours (daily) by efficiently distributing e-mails to team members. @mentions is a team favorite, the user interface is intuitive and creating rules is simple, especially using the built-in templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

It's not a strong dislike, but I'd like to have a tag for @mentions, so it's all in one place for me to look at. I'd also like to see @mention time stamps when using the mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use an Outlook distribution list for the customer service department e-mail box. We used to have to sort through each message to see if it was for us or someone else on the team. Each person saves about 40 minutes per day not having to triage e-mails, and there are 7 of us so that's almost 5 hours a day or equivalent to half a headcount gained by using Front.

What do you like best about Front?

very clear and well managed style and the chat function to communicate with colleagues within the mail history is super useful, especially to write and discuss drafts. I also like the interaction with other platforms for instant access to our user's profiles and the snooze function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

nothing in particular, maybe the management of mail templates coud be a bit easier to work with and organise Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Front integrates well with Active Campaign.

Easy to tag other people to review emails before sending a response.

Easy to tell when the email was opened and reviewed.

Easy to add APPs like Calendly, Google Calendar, Contacts,ClickUp, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I haven't mastered Zapier yet, as others in my organization have. Some of the integrations require Zapier.

Sometimes I archive emails when I just meant them to be sent. However, they are not lost and are easy to retrieve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

An excellent email client for our organization. Easy to share emails and get feedback from others in our organization before sending email responses.

Nice to be able to set rules for emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

The ability to collaborate with colleagues and resolve customer queries in a neat manber behind the scenes. The snooze function is also very helpful in scheduling chaser emails to clients who have yet to review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The lack of option to implement two factor authentication when using the sign in with Google function. A Passkey option could also be implemented soon now that Google have started to implement Passkeys in personal accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front helps to ease collaboration between colleagues of different teams very easily, which speeds up resolving issues which are specific to a different department and have the specific colleague dealing with the matter to know what is happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
