What do you like best about Front?

it's great to colaborate with your team. I can bring colleagues to see one spefic email thread, they can comment with background context, suggestions to solve the problems and I can answer it without letting the customer know that more people were involved.

It's easy to use and I LOVE the build in AI for replying. I can write one silly sentence and Front turns it into a full email. It helps a lot as I work in English, and I'm not a native speaker.

I use Front day, all day and I really it . The simple design also help.s Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

there isn't a back button, to go back to the previous screen that I was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

The ease of use is probably the best thing about Front. For end users who have lived in traditional email platforms, this is a big change, but Front makes it super easy, so even the least technical can set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only thing I dislike is that you don't have the ability to set up rules from the inbox but rather navigate to settings. I found it easiest to open two instances of Front, one for looking at the conversations and one for setting up the rules for said conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest problem Front is solving is email volume; switching from distribution lists to shared inboxes. Also, being able to capture and highlight the important things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

We're thrilled to hear this Betsy! We understand switching platforms can be challenging and we are glad we made this an easy transition for you! 🙂

What do you like best about Front?

As a leader we are always looking for more efficient ways to manage a team. Front makes it easy to keep an eye on SLA's, tag people in and out of conversations, upload templates with ease and overall keeps my life simple as well as my CSM's. I haven't had to use support once. This is the first app I sign into daily to get organized for the day. Implementation was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

No downsides here. Our use case is for our CSM team and since we implemented, no complaints just a whole bunch of collaboration between management and IC's to keep our customer experience smooth and effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Front gives leadership visibility and tools to ensure our CSM's are supporting our customers in a timely manner. It gives us the opportunity to commmunicate and collaborate which lessens our Slack load as a remote first company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi Felicia! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're happy to hear you've had a great experience using Front and that implementing was a breeze. It's great to see reviews like yours as this is what we strive for. Thank you again!

What do you like best about Front?

Front is great for collaborating on emails to customers with teammates. We can tag each other across teams and collaborate easily. We can have multiple inboxes and shared inboxes for easy communication. Honestly it is one of, if not the best platforms I have used for customer interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

My only complaint is that I wish I could create a template when typing a new email rather than having to create it in templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With previous email and communication platforms we have had issues with internal collaboration without creating long email threads. Front allows us to share and edit drafts, as well as track internal communications without it being a part of the email thread. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it. We are glad you have found being able to collaborate easy :)

We will be sure to pass the feedback about the template creating along to our Product Team

What do you like best about Front?

That we can custom workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and assign emails to specific team members, helping to improve efficiency and response times. Front allows teams to manage shared inboxes, making it easy for multiple team members to collaborate on customer communications without stepping on each other Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Performance slowdowns, especially with large volumes of emails or during peak times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Automation really help with the streamline repetitive tasks, such as auto-responders and email routing. This reduces the time spent, allowing Our members to focus on more urgent work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

I love the collaboration opportunities. From being able to write drafts and have my coworkers take them over, to being able to tag multiple coworkers in an email they need to keep their eyes on, to getting everyone's opinions on how to handle a certain inquiry. It is incredibly easy to use and implement for our team and makes customer support more efficient. I use it multiple times every hour. It was easy to learn as well and easy to intergrate other tasks into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The downside would be the tracking of time it takes to respond. Coming in from a weekend and having 50 emails to respond to is already daunting nonetheless there being no way to segment those emails from being counted towards my weekly average response time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is making my job more efficient. Without needing to forward emails, our team can easily collaborate on problems to solve them quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Shared inboxes, multiple team members can be assigned to an inbox and notified of new messages, while still allowing each individual team member to individually archive once they've acknowledged the message/thread. Being able to mention team members in comments to coordinate a response or loop someone else in. Creating a scheduling link with availability from the team and connecting to everyone's Google Calendars. I've only been using Front for 120 days and was able to get up and running within my first week. I also love the snooze feature and being able to maintain inbox 0 without having to worry about checking back on when to follow up on open items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The left sidebar with the inbox/folders can't be collapsed, while it can be made quite narrow, it'd be nice to get it out of the way to leverage on split screens easier. Scheduling recurring meetings could be better, the recurrance doesn't convey back to Google Calendar and has to be manually added. It would be nice to set custom snooze options per user based on what makes the most sense for our preferences, it will give you the "last snooze" option if you snooze enough, but it doesn't remember that if it's custom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our services teams are comprised of 5-7 members that need access to shared communications from clients. We create client inboxes that allow us to streamline communications with our clients and keep everyone on the team aligned internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
