"Front has improved our workflow and efficiency for categorizing, responding and following up"
What do you like best about Front?

Snoozes, tags, getting multiple people seeing draft emails, internally tagging people with the @ to get their feedback. It was also quick to learn and teach our team.

What do you dislike about Front?

I think it's search function could either be better, or better explained. I often find it hard to find a particular email.

"User friendly and always improving!"
What do you like best about Front?

The customer support is very responsive and friendly. Front is easy to use once fully implemented; all of our users live in Front exclusively without use of any other email programs and are utilizing it for their entire workday. One thing I love is that they are always working on improvements and new features. You can even add your ideas for upvote into the community pages and will receive email status updates.

What do you dislike about Front?

For users that are coming out of a program like Outlook, there is a bit of a learning curve and it takes some time to adjust to the vast array of features

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

We are no longer having siloed conversations or extensive email chains. We can all collaborate in one place and utilize the comments section to eliminate additional emails. Front chat and knowledge base have also solved the issue of "too many software programs". We've been able to consolidate several other areas. Overall, this has created time saved, efficient workflows, and cost savings.

"Learning curve but great program!"

I like how many folders you can have and the differenct access to accounts on the same front log in. I also love the archive function and the comment section at the bottom

What do you dislike about Front?

I do think its a learning curve. I don't like when you send a message and it stays in your inbox.

We haven't had any issues using Front to my knowledge at this point

"Front: A tool in ensuring customer satisfaction"
What do you like best about Front?

The user interface. It's easy to use and is customer centered. I make use of this application daily and it has been really helpful. From arranging the metrics to seeing who has been on an email beforehand to avoid confusion to the customers. It aids in customer support with a standard CSAT survey. The integration and implementation were easy as it solves most issues regarding customer service. I haven't had any issues with the application since I started using it

What do you dislike about Front?

Front on mobile isn't the best application. A lot of things are lacking but it just goes to show that the application was designed for desktop use and not mobile use

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

Front helps in making it easy to access users' complaint, have private conversations about work issues with your team members, have access to shared conversation from your teammates. It's an interesting app that is customer focused.

"Great for team collaboration and organization"
What do you like best about Front?

Definitely the ability to chat with coworkers about a specific email thread and discuss options/opinions within the email thread. It really helps keep organized in the work day since we have moving parts across multiple apps. I use it all day every day.

What do you dislike about Front?

If you mention an email address in the "chat" thread, it forwards the whole chat conversation to the client. Can lead to some drama

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

It helps organize the workspace and foster collaboration in a remote environment.

"Uses front daily for every single email"
What do you like best about Front?

I can comment and have separate inboxes for all the different email addresses I manage. The ability to respond quickly, and the help with the whole team being accountable.

What do you dislike about Front?

I like front a lot, I really have no complaints. However, I would appreciate it if there were a more attention-grabbing "assigned to" notification this would help stuff not get overlooked.

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

Accountability for sure, it's so easy to see where an error occurred or where something went wrong. Its search feature w/ additional filters is highly utilized here.

"The best email client around"
What do you like best about Front?

It makes it super simple to stay on top of your emails, and enables you to collaborate on email responses without having to forward mass chains around the business.

What do you dislike about Front?

Not entirely sure how the functions in Front (e.g. Snooze / Archive) action your emails in Gmail but I never look at emails through the Gmail client now so not much of an issue.

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

Staying on top of emails and only showing emails I need to action imminently and pushing those back which don't need to be attended to now using the Snooze function. Also, being able to collaborate on emails without having to forward mass chains around the business. This is particularly helpful for Finance when we get invoicing/contracting queries which need input from FinOps and Commercial teams.

What do you dislike about Front?

I find it difficult to read to know the reading direction of certain discussions

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

front solves the problem of lost mail due to employee absences. With the shared mailbox, it is easy to find emails.
