Chose Front
Front was easier to have shared inbox. It also gave us more flexibility in tagging, both tagging users and tagging the emails to triage. It was also quick to set up and get users on boarded and trained. We found it was just a more intuitive and flexible system for us.
We switched to Front because of how simple it looked, then we realized we could tailor it to the type of business we have. I don't see us using any other tool to manage emails besides Front.
I have only used Gmail in the past and Front is any day better than Gmail in terms of the interface and ease of usage. The ability to send scheduling links and comments between the email threads makes it better than Gmail. The shared inbox also makes it easier for the entire …
A few features are very good in Front that are not in Outlook, like sharing draft content with teammates, commenting, read receipts, etc., which made us choose Front.
The tagging feature stands out. Their tagging can be quite deep and effective if it's set up properly. For example, I can pull out all the clients who [have] an issue with billing. Or better yet valued clients who [have] a specific MRR that has an issue with billing that needed …
Front is honestly an amazing blend of an email server and slack, as it allows for nimble, efficient, and immediate communication between team members without needing to forward a single email back-and-forth before finally responding to a client. Front also saves time when …
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.
Thanks to Front, it has allowed us to have smooth and effective internal communication between departments, attaching projects, problems, and endless files without any problem. It is allowing us to have practical and soft customer support.
Front is better than any other tool. It is a great app to use also because of its multipurpose features. Anyone can also use this app for your customized business needs and manage your work accordingly. I feel that Front is easy to use and it is also very user-friendly due to …
I love how scalable the software is. Also, Front comprises many good features that are needed for helping teams work efficiently and effectively for sales and support.
Front has been simple to implement and operate on our team. It is not possible to lose an email; it is impressive how it adapts better while being used daily. We can have excellent communication between colleagues, the percentage of evaluations, and changes in planned tasks …
Front is always getting the newest capabilities of the industry [and] is never behind. Instead, it provides you with features that [you] would not even think exist. Also, it is faster than other apps [and] takes just a moment for you to get started in your daily tasks.
Front was not designed as a ticketing system and doesn't have great reporting tools, but the commenting and draft features were important and other platforms' versions of these features were weak or unintuitive.
It should be noted that we ended up developing our own messaging …
It offered newer features and more ways to control user communication inflow, as well as team roster management. The Front app also had a presence on the app, mobile web, and web, which was helpful for on-the-go email queue management. In short, at the time we made this …
Zendesk is by far the market leader here and offers a tremendous solution. It is, of course, very expensive -- especially if you require multi-brand support. Many of the other solutions (except Groove) offer some flavor of multi-brand support but they are not as good as …
We had all our leads going to a gmail account before front. Front solved so many problems that Gmail had. It was much more user friendly for somethings and it was a much more flexible software that we were able to use to meet our needs. It also has a reporting feature that …
Front is a flexible and quickly growing tool that integrates with almost every system we use. Front have been our go-to support system since we started and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
Front is cleaner from an email communication standpoint. Less details are sometimes better. Hubspot is more of a CRM and that focus is key. While Front is more of a communication channel.
At the enterprise level it has facilitated our decision-making, as it allows us to visually capture the big picture and eliminates complicated management requirements. Sugar Serve ensures organizational integrity by allowing us to present it across multiple departments and work …
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.
Sugar Serve is best to be used for medium and large businesses. It helps you to understand your customers' moods. Its mood survey is the best thing that I can get from any other tool. It helped me to understand the customer's mood and on that analysis, I can discuss the problem and can help them accordingly. It just needs to add more auto-messages or gifs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At the enterprise level it has facilitated our decision-making, as it allows us to visually capture the big picture and eliminates complicated management requirements. Sugar Serve ensures organizational integrity by allowing us to present it across multiple departments and work together, sharing information accurately. The advantage of being able to customize and improve each time depending on the application allows us to carry out specifications in some departments.
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.
