About Front
Front is the shared inbox for teams that brings all of your business communications into a single collaborative platform. Teams in customer support, sales, operations, IT, and marketing can manage [email protected], [email protected], and other group email addresses, Facebook, Twitter, chat, and SMS messages, in one place, and respond without switching between multiple tools.
Designed for team collaboration: Emails and messages in your shared inbox can be assigned to teammates to makes it clear who is responsible for responding, and collision detection prevents multiple replies to the same message. You can directly mention teammates to share and discuss messages and drafts before sending a response to a customer. Email templates let you quickly reply consistently to common questions.
Enhances team productivity: Front works like an email client, but it’s more powerful than Gmail or Outlook. With features like internal comments, follow-up reminders, read receipts, mail merge, email sequences, and canned answers, you’re able to respond 2-3x faster to customers. Mobile apps on iOS and Android are available for responding and triaging on the go. Front’s comprehensive analytics shows your response time, message volume, and many more to measure your productivity.
Integrates with all your apps: Front works with many of the other software you already use — Salesforce, Slack, Trello, GitHub, Intercom, Asana, and more, so you can access and sync this information in Front. Custom integrations for your specific business need can be developed using the API.

We have a shared inbox and we had trouble to avoid double answers and we had to forward the emails to each other or CC them on our replies so they could get informed of a conversation
Pros
Sharing emails without having to forward them, being able to have internal conversations within an email, plenty of integrations
Cons
When I need to speak to all the team, I have to create a discussion and add them all, one by one.
I'd rather have the possibility to @team within an email or a discussion to make sure they are all included.
I also whish we could find a slack inbox where we could find all the channels we have and avoid having to switch between the two softwares.

Great experience. Sales Rep was educated, nice, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Then the product was easy to use and solved what we needed.
Pros
It is incredibly easy to use. We transitioned to this from HubSpot support and we were concerned about a learning curve, it is about as basic and intuitive as it comes. We budgeted 2 weeks to implement and it took us less than 2 days to transfer everything over and learn how to use it for its core functions.
Cons
I may be doing this incorrectly- but the Slack integration doesn't always work correctly. I think it would've been helpful in the integrations section to have a troubleshooting guide if it doesn't work. For us we filled out all fields and appropriate slack channels but the messages were not sent there. (Again could be our error)

Front: your home base for email communication with customers

Using Front, I am able to reach many customers on a daily basis. Front helps me solve their problems by allowing me to communicate quickly and effectively. I can't praise this software enough.
Pros
I use Front daily to communicate with customers. Overall, Front is a powerful and accessible email client with a very pleasing UI.
What I like in particular is the template functionality. Templates for emails can be stored, changed at any time, and are lighting-quick to access. I also like Front's internal messaging system for writing notes to colleagues (using the @ system). This means I can leave notes for colleagues, for customer cases that require more time or team input.
Front's search functionality is also unparalleled. If my organisation has ever had any contact with a customer, I can find it using the barest of search strings. To give an example: Front will pull up alternative email adresses that customers have, by cross-referncing known information such as customer name.
Lastly, the UI uses colors that aid readability, but are also visually very pleasing.
All in all this software is critical to my daily work, and is the most pleasant and easy-to-use email client I've ever used.
Cons
I personally find very few faults or things that could be improved, that would have a direct effect on the work I do. Having said that, I find the conversation tracking function ever so slightly redundant. This is because I keep track of conversations myself, by having multiple Front tabs open. On the alternate tabs, I use search strings to keep all prior conversation with a customer open. I am aware however that this is my personal style of working, so it doesn't say much about the tracking function itself.

One of the worst email applications I've ever used
Reviewed on 02/04/2018
Pros
The overall look of Front is simple, which is nice.
The snooze function on emails.
The support staff were friendly and quick to answer.
Cons
My company switched my team over to Front after a couple people who shared an inbox had issues with managing it. I didn't have a shared inbox, but struggled with the lack of functionality for just personal inboxes.
There are so many missed functionalities to Front it made my job incredibly inefficient. I found myself spending more time doing my job which consists of heavy emailing because of Front problems.
1. No calendar. Cannot make appointments, set up meetings, etc.
2. Unable to edit messages in a previous thread. Say someone sends you a list of questions. You cannot just answer next to their list in the previous email and say "see below."
3. Archiving messages... when we first switched to Front, the management team used it for a few weeks to test it. When the team was instructed to switch within the next couple weeks, and BOOM thousands of emails that Front could not autoarchive. I had about 10 emails in Outlook during the switch. The front inbox had accumulated thousands over the course of the management test period. Front could only auto archive shared inboxes, not personal. I had to spend 20 minutes selecting 3000 emails to auto archive since it didn't sync correctly with Outlook.
4. Saving emails... you can't. You only have the option to send a link of the email which only works for those that also used front.
5. You cannot edit pasted tables in front, as far as formatting goes. No deletion of columns or making rows smaller.
6. No red flags or categorizing. Often I'd keep emails in Outlook and red flag them to remind myself to check on it before I leave. No flagging in Outlook. This is replaced by snoozing in Front to make it reappear later, but I do miss the flag option.
7. You archive something in someone else's inbox that they share with you... it archives in their inbox, too.
8. No options to make folders. You want to move emails to a folder to refer to later? You cannot.
I could go on and on and ended up emailing a list of 18 problems after using Front for the first 3 months to management who sent to Front support. The responses were basically they hope to rollout that feature one day. Which obviously doesn't help now.
