Front vs. Genesys DX (discontinued)

I think Front is very useful for every company with multiple teams working together on different emails from clients. Not so useful if a lot of different teams need to work on a request at the same time, because when an email is sitting in multiple shared inboxes things can get messy. Also would not recommend for teams that work is individualized, as team work is the main point of Front.

The relationship building with the entire team at LMI from Sales, to the Account Manager to our Customer Relationship manager and their product Bold360 was excellent. They were always willing to listen to different ideas and try to make them work for us

• I call them "sticky notes" but Front calls them Comments. It's a way to collaboratively make comments on messages sent to joint inboxes for folks to coordinate a response before it goes back to the sender.
• When exchanging with someone using the Comments feature, someone can create a draft reply and then share it before it goes out. It also includes the typing indicator letting you know they are not just replying, but specifically working on a draft reply. These things are really great for individuals, or teams, that don't sit next to each other.
• Tagging. It's a fairly simple concept, but very useful for classifying notes and being able to manage, what could be, a messy inbox. Additionally, the ability to have your own personal tags really allows the user to manage their own messages in a way that works best for them.

• We’ve built our environment to scale globally and currently leveraging the platform in U.S., LATAM, BRAZIL, APAC, and EMEA.
• Email integration with Outlook has helped channel emails to agents by skill set.
• The knowledgebase has shared global articles, which are auto-translated to our fans who engage our brands based on their questions.
• I want to add kudos to the support received from our Customer Success Manager and Technical Account Manager.

• Zoom Meeting Integration as there are some clients who want to have a call immediately.
• Tagging can be improved - looks scattered.
• Calendly Integration, they have their own calendar appointment but it would be good if I don't need to leave the front to set up [calendar] appointments.

• Reporting capabilities. I think the dashboard and reporting tool could contain more details in terms of what data is visible and available to the user/administrator.
• Native mobile applications to provide added support.
• Improving the beta testing program to use new features before understanding whether the update can be pushed out without causing issues with the end-user.

We are very happy with Front and don't anticipate changing

It's very easy to understand and use by new customer support agents as well. Be it a technology, product, or marketing person, we have trained most of the company folks to read and respond to customer conversations in their free time with the help of the Front app. It is also easy to set up for an admin and manage his/her team with communication rules.

Day-to-day use of Bold360 AI (chatbot) use (reviewing new questions, adding new responses, tagging, etc.) is fairly simple, but utilizing more advanced features and custom channeling, etc. typically require escalation to developers and may require additional costs if you want help to implement

The support is good, and it's definitely prompt, but still lags when it comes to technical requirements, as I guess they are slow in developing newer features fast. So no complaints in terms of responsiveness, but yeah, at times it's not very helpful when you need certain features or are blocked on things which can't be unblocked.

The Bold360 team has been supportive throughout the process. My reason for providing the 8 rating is due to the training curriculum. I believe Bold should work closely with the client to determine what training would best support the customer's needs.

This is something I am not familiar but it seems like it is [available] in Gmail. Thus I cannot give any feedback about it. What I am sure about is Front works for our team and I see Zoom using the service in the Customer Success Organization in a long run.

Each is unique in [its] own way but we wanted something powerful and easy for the people performing day-to-day tasks within it. We didn't want to always have to rely on IT to not only develop but also maintain the solution and therefore adding an unnecessary dependency on the opportunity the platform can provide to its users. We also wanted a native live chat platform within it, rather [than] further customization to integrate with another solution provider.

• Quality- with all the benefits given, in just matter of time, all your organization will find it familiar and less effort is needed when composing emails.
• Effectiveness- no one wants to miss an email, or never respond to a possible customer. Front will help you that. If you do not want to send that email now, you can set a timer and Front will send it for you later on.
• Simplicity- Front is not the most difficult app to handle, indeed, it is too easy to learn. From the first moment you will have a guided tour and will learn all the good things that it has for you.

Incentivized

• Considerable saving on ticket deflection so return on investment
• Saved on extra support engineer recruitment through self service
• Enabled support engineers to concentrate on more complex customer issues as simple and semi-complex issues are generally dealt with through self service--so better quality of service for customers
