"Changed The Way I Work!"
What do you like best about Front?

I like the snooze feature and the ability to leave comments on each email. It has made me so much more organized and better able to be productive! I also like the design - Front is so much more attractive than Outlook .

What do you dislike about Front?

I don't think the analytics are accurate. We used to use them for our team to see how quickly we responded to emails, but the reports never seemed to be right. I would respond to emails within a few minutes, but Front would tell me that my first response time was often over a few hours. I was also told we could set "office hours" to where we would not get assigned emails after a certain time, but that never seemed to help, either. That's the only thing I wish was improved.

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

Like I said before, being able to snooze emails that I need to come back to later or leave comments on them as I get work done has made me work more efficiently. I am the kind of person who gets overwhelmed when I see a ton of emails in my inbox, even when I know that I need to keep all of them there to work off of. Being able to prioritize which ones need my attention first has reduced my stress and improved my overall work performance. I recommend this software to everyone in my work sphere that I can!

"Front is made for covenience and efficiency. If I would recommend an email platform it'd be Front."
What do you like best about Front?

The @mention system is super covenient. It's way easier to save group contacts as well as templates for sending out emails. Simple and easy-to-use UI is what I always look for when I do work related email.

What do you dislike about Front?

So far I havent found anything I dislike about it.

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

Assigning emails to coworkers have been helpful in being efficient with workloads. Using the mention system helps keep the people related to the email in the loop when small updates are in motion.

"A game changer for team communication."
What do you like best about Front?

We have created a team inbox that allows insight into real time client requests and responses which is very helpful if someone is out of office or in a meeting and we are awaiting a response. We can also comment and chat about how to respond or the details of the project needs as a team in Front directly.

What do you dislike about Front?

The Inbox feature for loading in Gmail is a little challenging to manage and I do often feel like i might be missing or overlooking email. I wish there was a "tagged in" feature.

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

1. Clients having a single point person and not knowing who to reach out to if that person is out 2. Faster response times and information getting to our team

"Easy to use and stay organized"
What do you like best about Front?

I like that you can comment on an email, invite participants, and merge emails. Commenting avoids pointless, noisy email chains. Clean, easy to use, never had an issue.

What do you dislike about Front?

Not something that can be fixed, but I like my Inbox at 0 -- the team inboxes bother me because I can't archive those items and constantly have to look at not 0's on those other inboxes

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

Teamwork is so much easier, we collaborate on the same emails and can escalate issues without forwarding anything, comments are a life saver!

"It enormously simplified out daily work communication"
What do you like best about Front?

I like the fact that it separates email by assigning the ones for you.

What do you dislike about Front?

I do not like the fact that sometimes it is hard to find an old email on Front

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

Before Front, my colleagues and I kept receiving tons of email we were not interested in reading. Now with Front, communication is enhanced by tags and assignment of emails and you receive only the email that you need to see and read.

"Great to Stay Organized"
What do you like best about Front?

I like best about Front is the ability to create different tags. It helps organize your inbox as well as your team. More organization helps you have a more productive day. Another like, is the chatter feature that you can use within your company. It is helpful to be able to pinpoint which email you are speaking about with another teammate.

What do you dislike about Front?

I dislike the aesthetic of the Mac application. I think that the layout is very plain. I think it would help if users were able to customize their profiles a bit more.

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

My workdays with Front are a lot easier, which makes for a better week. During COVID, my workload has doubled, and Front has helped with a lot of the organization. The snooze feature helps with follow-ups, and the send later feature helps if I am working out of business hours to be still able to send emails and get work done.

"Simple and straightforward, highly adaptive"
What do you like best about Front?

UX makes adoption easy and OOTB features and ability to customize rules makes it easier to implement. Pricing model enables scalability and easing into the organization without a high upfront cost/capital required.

What do you dislike about Front?

Ideally, pre-set customizations to align with different use cases/business types. We spent a lot of time working with our account manager to get to where we needed. However, our situation can't be unique and would be great to choose a default set-up that applies to our model.

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

Prioritization of internal team and customer requests. Centralizing our support and moving away from individual SPA's -- enabling greater coverage and increased response time
