"Makes managing a shared inbox actually easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Front?

The absolute best part for me is the smart commenting feature. I use it constantly. It’s so much better than having these massive, messy email threads with my coworkers just to ask a quick question. You just @ mention them right in the email and solve it there. Also, the assign function is a lifesaver, it stops us from accidentally replying to the same customer twice. The tags and archiving also keep things way more organized than a regular Outlook or Gmail inbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Honestly, the only thing that bugs me is the calendar. Every now and then it feels a bit clunky or just doesn't sync up perfectly when I'm trying to schedule stuff. Its not a dealbreaker or anything, and everything else works great, but the calendar could definitely use a bit more work to make it smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

I am glad to hear smart comments, @mentions, and assignments are making collaboration easier for your team and helping prevent duplicate replies. It is also great to hear tags and archiving are helping you stay organized in shared inboxes.

Thank you as well for the feedback on the calendar experience. Even if it is not a dealbreaker, we understand how important reliable syncing and smoother scheduling are, and we are continuing to improve this area.

Thanks again for sharing your experience — we really appreciate it.

"Productivity Power-User"
5/5
What do you like best about Front?

The internal commenting is a lifesaver. Being able to @mention a teammate directly on an email thread instead of forwarding things back and forth in Slack has made our workflow so much faster. The shared drafts also help us stay aligned on tricky client replies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I wish the mobile app was a bit snappier; it sometimes struggles with very long threads compared to the desktop version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Front offers fresh, instinctive & easy to use interface."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Front?

I love how Front is Omnichannel, you can manage multiple message/discussion app alongside the emails in a single interface, with the advanced automation 7 workflow rules. It is easier now for the managers/leaders to track SLA's & smart routing for particular emails with keywords.

Using the helpdesk level of data, it is easier for to measure teammates KPI's, response time & CSAT scores. which provides me enough tools & saves crucial time to address the challenges/roadblocks the team is facing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

while Front is a powerhouse for collaboration, it isn't perfect (Well nothings 100% perfect tho.). The little hurdles I face are, SYNC Friction between Outlook & Front. if we archive or read an email via Front the response doesn't often talk back to Outlook, sometimes I noticed delay of seconds - minutes in emails reaching Front when Outlook has already received the email. The Search tool is bit chaos currently, its harder to search with in discussions & it lacks advanced search capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good, balanced, team-building tool -but expensive for small businesses or medium-sized corporations"
4/5
What do you like best about Front?

The way we can share inboxes with the team and work on items, tasks, and messages in a seamless, well-integrated manner. Also, templates are great time-saving elements that make some repetitive communication tasks a breeze. The client-centric approach it offers for some projects and companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Pricing - we understand that development costs money, but Front became expensive vs. the features they're adding, at least for small businesses and medium-sized corporations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Easy to Use, and Improves Response Times"
5/5
What do you like best about Front?

It's just so simple. Everything is easy to use and all or users are finding it helps them improve response times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The base plan only supports up to 10 users. We don't need a lot of the AI features but we would need more than 10 users in the future, there is a significant increase in costs with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

We're glad to hear that Front has been simple and easy to use for you and has improved your response times! We understand your concern about the user limit in the base plan, and we appreciate your feedback on this. We are constantly working to improve our offerings, and we will take your comments into consideration for future updates!

"All-in-One Tool That Keeps Everything in One Place"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Front?

All is in one place, there is no need to change of tool everytime Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Sometimes, it's difficult to organize my work. There is one big pool of requests and separate it between emergency asking or not can be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review — we really appreciate it!

It's great to hear that Front has become the central hub for your organisation, keeping everything in one place and making it easier for your whole team to work together.

We also hear you on the challenge of organising and prioritising requests when everything lands in one pool. Being able to quickly distinguish what needs urgent attention from what can wait is really important, and we understand that isn't always as straightforward as it should be. Features like tags, custom rules, and SLA settings can help with triaging by urgency — if you haven't already explored those, our support team would be happy to help you set something up that works for your workflow. Feel free to reach out at support@front.com.

Thanks again for being a Front customer!

"Seamless Email Collaboration and Integration with Outlook"
5/5
What do you like best about Front?

I like that Front helps me and my team collaborate when drafting emails to our clients. It's helpful because we can chat as we're drafting emails and catch each other up on different pieces of information that we need. I also like that it integrates with our Outlook emails, which helps me manage all of our emails in one place rather than having to open a bunch of different inboxes. It's nice because it works as a ticketing system, so I can see when things get done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Nothing as of now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thanks for the wonderful review! We love to hear how Front helps you and your team :D
