"Front is the Best"
What do you like best about Front?

One of my favorite features about Front is the ability to archive items in my inbox. This is very helpful and saves me time of trying to sort into folders but also declutters my inbox. Also the ability to tag colleagues in email chains.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only downside I've experienced so far is that my Front page freezes or lags in my typing anytime I have an email come in or a calendar notification.

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

Front is helping me by having a shared inbox to collaborate and streamline communication for all teams. Also it's plugins for Salesforce help me stay organized and have everything in one place.

"Simplifies inter-department comms"
What do you like best about Front?

Front is an excellent platform to simplify day-to-day comms. Messages and emails use a simple tagging system to direct them to the correct colleague, and SLAs can be set so tasks don't get forgotten. Separate inboxes are easy to create for specific projects, so a good separation of tasks is achievable.

What do you dislike about Front?

Sometimes it can be complicated to integrate external apps into Front but can be done with a little perseverance. There are guides in app but can be time consuming.

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

Tasks can be handed around to relevant team members with simple @ tagging, which streamlines processes, reducing dead time within those processes and making things generally more efficient.

The inability to provide notification sounds on the desktop.

"Great Email App for Business"
What do you like best about Front?

Being able to assign emails to team members and chat with specific team members about a particular email.

What do you dislike about Front?

I don't get meeting notifications for meetings on my calendar.

"How I use Front as my email platform"
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.

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.

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.

"I'ts such a time saver."
What do you like best about Front?

The ease of communication with collegue in front is breathtaking. It helps a lot in minimizing the number of emails and lets you keep an eye on collegue work or issue easily. You can cross reference to multiple email chains in the comment sections and this is now an integral part of our operation process. Ease of use, ease of setting up new user. Rules are a godsend.

What do you dislike about Front?

Nothing really as a e-mail manager it runs flawlesly. I think the only little caveat is that synching the google calendar with front doesnt work 100% as you cannot modify others people event from front.

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

Confusion from forwarding over message to team member and the ability to instantly take over a collegues email of add notes to align them with the company's goal straight in their e-mail manager.
