Front is better than the rest
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Front daily all day, every workday. I use emails as a way to communicate with our customers. We had problems that Front has helped cure. There were times when we would answer the same email as a coworker by mistake. The real-time viability fixed a lot of issues we were having. I am not sure how we survived before without it.
Pros
- Real-time visibility helps us to see if someone else is working on the email.
- Being able to assign an email to a coworker helps out.
- The internal comment section is wonderful.
- I enjoy the snooze feature.
Return on Investment
- We have not had any negative impact on business due to Front.
Usability
Could not imagine working without Front
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Front on our Client Success Team to increase efficiency and collaboration. From onboarding to challenging client questions the team is able to communicate in the platform instead of sending drafts back and forth which can increase the likelihood of human error. This has taken our team efficiency to the next level. We also use the analytics to ensure our clients are being responded to in 2 hours and see our high volume times for emails.
Pros
- Team Collaboration
- Analytics
- Templates
- Shared Inboxes
Cons
- Out of Office Rules
- Customer Support Availability
- Pricing
Return on Investment
- Efficiency has gone up
- Client response time is tracked under 2 hours and up to par with our guarantees
- Quick assignments of inboxes increase productivity
Usability
Front helps your business stay organized
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Front is just a very well organized platform. From being able to customize tags, archiving, and just navigating through the application, everything is super easy to achieve. I love being able to send emails to other branches inboxes with a simple few clicks, and being able to assign emails to certain team members also helps things in the office run more smoothly.
Pros
- Ability to move email threads to particular inboxes
- Being able to assign an email to a certain employee
- Having a space within threads to have internal communications
Cons
- I wish I was able to remove our branch from a thread that we were accidentally put in
- Sometimes merged conversations aren't in the correct time order
Return on Investment
- I think it's a great asset for the company I'm at
Usability
Great tool to insure smooth team work
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Collaboration between teams mostly, it's much easier with Front because we can just reference threads, copy and paste IDs, tag people from different teams to colaborate on an email or project and move emails to different shared inboxes, that insure the topics stay organized and the communication with the client streamlined.Front Analytics is also a great tool to track team performance and goals.
Pros
- Shared inboxes
- Comment section so the people involved can discuss
- Tag people from different teams
- Front Analytics to track response times and team performance
Cons
- The emails disappear from user's view when moving to a shared inbox they're not a part of
- Change the privacy status of a tag after it was created (private/open)
- Some threads Front can't identify the different email correctly, creating a very long email that's hard to ready.
- Please remove the option to tag shared inboxes, that doesn't work properly but it's still an option
Return on Investment
- It improved really improved response time
- Front helped with work between different teams

Front. Excellent email for personal and team use.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Front is the email platform we use for all communications. It allows all teams to work off single threads and communicate between teams without need for other mediums like Slack, Teams, or other internal communication channels.
My use case is on the Sales and Custom Support side of the business. I handle all inbound and outbound communications. When needed I tag and assign to different teams as needed. This cooperation between teammates is very helpful. Its also organized to keep all communication about a task in one place.
