While Front offers many valuable features, there are a few areas that could be improved.

One drawback is the pricing, which can become expensive as teams grow and require access to more advanced features. For smaller businesses, the cost may be difficult to justify.

The platform also has a large number of features and settings, which can make the initial setup and customization process somewhat overwhelming. New users may need time to fully understand workflows, automation rules, and permissions.

In addition, some advanced reporting and analytics capabilities feel limited compared to dedicated customer support platforms. We would appreciate more flexibility when building custom reports and tracking team performance metrics.

Finally, while the AI features are useful, they are still evolving and occasionally require manual adjustments to ensure accuracy and relevance.

Overall, these issues have not significantly impacted our experience, but addressing them would make the platform even stronger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, Front has become one of those tools I didn't know I needed until I started using it every day.

The shared inboxes have been a game changer for our team. We can assign conversations, jump in when someone needs help, and avoid that awkward moment when two people reply to the same email. It sounds simple, but it saves a surprising amount of time.

One thing I genuinely love is being able to leave internal comments right inside an email thread.

The automated rules are also worth mentioning

But honestly, the biggest win for me has been the visibility. You can actually see what's happening across the team — what's been handled, what's still open, who's on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any memories of dislikes or frustrations with Front so far Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Front is how it centralizes communication in one place, making it easier for teams to collaborate, track conversations, and maintain visibility across customer interactions. It helps improve response times, accountability, and overall efficiency by reducing the need to switch between multiple tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main frustration with Front is that some processes are still too manual. As conversation volume grows, it can be difficult to quickly filter, track ownership, and extract meaningful reporting. Additional automation and more robust analytics would make the platform even more effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Front gives our Support team strong visibility and ownership across customer conversations. It makes it easy to see what is waiting, who owns each conversation, and where follow-up or escalation is needed.

What I appreciate most is that it supports both day-to-day execution and leadership visibility. Agents can collaborate internally without losing customer context, while managers can review conversations, spot coaching opportunities, and identify queue health risks before they become bigger issues.

Front has also helped us turn customer feedback into something meaningful for the team. From January through May, we received 1,637 CSAT reviews through Front, which contributed to our Stars for Good program, where each CSAT review equals a $5 donation to a team-selected charity. That represents $8,185 in donations connected to customer feedback captured through Front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Front is a very powerful tool, but that also means it can take time to set up the right workflows, views, tags, and reporting habits. Without clear team conventions, inboxes and tags can quickly become noisy and harder to manage. In my experience, it works best when the team has strong operating practices around ownership, consistent tagging, and reliable follow-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Front is very fast and helpful, especially with automations. We can assign automations, create folders, auto tag, create colorful tags, and use channels. The ability to comment internally, tag individuals, re-assign, and snooze is something I like most about Front as it helps in clearing inboxes. It allows us to communicate specific questions to admin and managers without ruining the email thread, and we can share more context easily. The initial setup was pretty straightforward, as our admin created our emails and assigned access and double authentication. We reach our ROI less than 6 months due to cheap price. It is integrated well with Grammarly, Shopify and chatgpt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the UI changes without prior notice, and the assigned inbox is a little bit confusing at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Front is great for quick communication between team members and easily answering all written inquiries across the org from one central platform. They allow for integrations with Dialpad that allow our employees to answer text messages through it as well as a live chat integration so they can speak with visitors as they come to our website. Set up is easy and support is great. It performs well, is easy to use and learn, and is affordable for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue I've found with Front has been personal inboxes. General inboxes are great but personal don't always function as would be expected (ie issues with accessing individual inboxes and sharing all info with teammates). This seems to have improved some, but it is still frustrating looking for an email across your organization and needing to go into individual inboxes to locate it depending on where it has ended up.

I use Front to respond efficiently to customer emails and tickets while managing my team of customer service agents. It’s easy to navigate, and the quick, simple filters make a real difference when prioritizing tickets by urgency. With just a glance, I can see my team’s activity and manage their inboxes, which helps me allocate work more effectively.

I especially appreciate how Front removes the confusion that often comes with shared inboxes. Features like routing and assigning emails have a noticeable impact on day-to-day work. Conversations can be automatically directed to the right team or person based on rules, which saves time and helps ensure nothing gets missed. Assigning emails also creates clear ownership, so everyone knows exactly who is responsible for responding, reducing duplicate replies and unnecessary delays.

Rules and macros further streamline repetitive tasks, such as tagging emails or sending standard responses, which makes handling a high volume of emails much more efficient. Overall, Front smooths out the workflow and improves coordination across the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Front is a very powerful tool overall, there are a few areas where I think it could be improved. One thing I’ve noticed is the AI feature: it’s very helpful, especially for drafting and summarizing emails, but there used to be an option to adjust the tone of responses (for example, making them more formal, casual, or empathetic). I found that control really useful. I’m not entirely sure whether it’s been removed or changed, but having that option clearly available again would definitely enhance the experience.

Another area is automation. Sometimes the automation rules and workflows can be a bit complex to set up at first, and I’ve also run into cases where the AI chatbot says it’s applying rules but doesn’t actually do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Front is that it centralizes all of our customer communication in one place, making it much easier for our team to collaborate and stay organized. Shared inboxes, internal comments, and assignments make it clear who owns each conversation and prevent duplicate responses. The integrations with other tools we use allow us to access important customer information without constantly switching between applications, which has made our workflow much more efficient. Overall, Front has improved response times, increased team visibility, and made managing customer conversations much more seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area where Front could improve is search performance, especially when trying to find older conversations or messages with common keywords. The interface is generally intuitive, but some settings and automation rules can take time to learn and configure, particularly for new users. I’d also like to see more flexibility in reporting and analytics without requiring workarounds. While the AI features are promising, they could provide more customization and context-aware suggestions to better fit different team workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Front is that it acts as a lightning-fast, single source of truth for our team's communication. The UI/UX is incredibly clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate without any steep learning curve. From a performance standpoint, it never lags, even when searching through massive client message histories. It seamlessly integrates with our everyday tools (like our CRM), which completely streamlines our collaborative workflow. Recently, their AI and intelligence features have been a game-changer for summarizing long threads and drafting quick replies. Finally, the support and onboarding team made setup a breeze. When you factor in the hours saved each week, the pricing is more than justified—the ROI was almost immediate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because Front fundamentally changes how you handle email compared to traditional clients like Gmail or Outlook, there is a bit of a learning curve for new team members. Also, because it centralizes so much communication in one place, notifications can become overwhelming if you don't take the time to set up strict rules and boundaries early on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the Snooze option very useful for returning to already read emails, as it helps me remember to respond to them later. The internal collaboration with the team is an amazing option because we can work on a single email and send notifications to every team member involved, which can be customized per the subscriber's choice. I appreciate how the Assigned option brings clarity to the ownership of tasks. The internal chat is fantastic for working on an email with the team all in one place instead of moving between different platforms, and it helps keep the context of the whole scenario in one place. I also like the Rules setup option for work and collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is a bit high, which makes me think twice. I would also like to add an option for mail merge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
