I appreciate the thoughtfulness that has guided Front's development over the years. The Front team's dedication to optimizing the app based on customer feedback is evident in each iteration, and it's great that the Front app is regularly freshened with feature updates and additions. Today's existing integrations with Front coupled with new regularly added services makes Front the perfect platform for unifying your communication workflow. One "inbox" for all your accounts is awesome\! > > **Cons**: There are a couple of pain points for me when it comes to my daily usage of Front. My chief complaint is that at this time there is not bi-directional sync of archived or permanently-deleted messages. In my case, archives and deletes in my Office 365 account are synced to Front, but when I apply the same actions in Front, they do not sync to Office 365. This behavior is annoying in the context of my personal inbox—messages acrue and clutter the inbox—but counterproductive for a shared inbox with a mix of Front and Office 365 users. The obvious solution is to move all users to Front but in my case it is not realistic to onboard our entire team at once. Front should sync all actions back to Office 365. My second and last complaint is Front's calendar: it's not as robust as it should be if it's intended to be used instead of, say, Office 365. The experience for creating timed versus all-day events is cumbersome and to my knowledge, cannot be toggled between. Additionally, there is no functionality for creating recurring events. Unfortunately, my time is currently wasted switching between Front and Office 365 for simple calendaring tasks. I am looking forward to the Front team addressing both the sync and calendaring issues in an upcoming release. These pain points are partially behind my hesitation to push Front to all team members. > > Front has a positive influence on the way I process communication because it allows me to aim for and realistically reach inbox zero. This is possible by allowing me to either respond immediately to a message, snooze it for a later reply or most importantly to me, easily delegate the message to another team member while still being able to follow the conversation. These features allow me to realistically manage multiple inboxes and ensure timely responses to all inbound communication. ----- ### "Front User Experience Review" — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *9 November 2024* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and a wide variety of functionality. > > **Cons**: Crashing issues when email threads get really long. > > It's awesome. We actually just transitioned to Zendesk for a few months now but for our business model, agents find Front more effective. ----- ### "Great for collab, not so great for the budget" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 March 2018* > > **Pros**: We love using this for syncing with Pipedrive - the implementation was easy. The powerful autoresponders are helpful as well. On any given day, we can have a different auto responder, which is great because we're always in a dedicated project on Wednesdays and out of office on Fridays. It's also a bonus that send later is active right out of the box - so when I'm working on emails after my kids are in bed they show up to my clients as sent at 7am the next morning. Set up wasn't too bad since I had already used Support Bee previously. The mobile app is solid as well, though my Android phone tells me it takes a lot of battery power. I wish it was listed as a native email provider on Andoid phones - so right now if I click on a email link in my Pipedrive App, I can't have it open in Front. Front is better than Pipedrive for sending emails since I can drop screenshots inline in emails in Front - something we do on a daily basis. I recommended this to a client who initially liked the idea that it connected with Shopify, showing order information beside each email (see cons for rest of the story). It's normal email stuff works just fine as well - removing formatting, adding bullets, bold, etc all work as expected. As an admin, I like having the ability to make sure my team is keeping on top of shared emails. Additionally, when a teammate needs some help on a message, they can share it with me to help advise them. > > **Cons**: Buyer beware on the TOS regarding refunds. I set this up for a client and got them paid up as an annual client with several users. However, it wasn't a good fit for them. I was not pleased to find out Front does not offer pro-rated refunds, which is costing my client a lot of money and jeopardizing my relationship with them. Customer services was unsympathetic. For this reason I can't recommend Front anymore. If a user signs up with an annual plan, they will at some point be losing money, not saving it - unless they cancel on the anniversary of when they started. Just because it's in the TOS doesn't mean it's the right thing to do: Front is one of the companies that needs to learn this. ----- ### "Want to save money with emails? Front." — 5.0/5 > **Rafael** | *26 September 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Front offers a simple and intuitive interface. It allows one to create inboxes and easily separate subjects into different categories and consequently offering automation, which by itself always save the company a lot of money when the issue is handling hours. Not to mention that this software is really good at integration with other softwares, which saves so much time from having to cross reference information. > > **Cons**: While some competitors will have a URL for each individual email, Front has a generic URL for the inbox. Of course that the emails offer individual identifiers that can be found by selecting "Copy message link", but this isn't that much of an inconvenience and it can be addressed by a simple learning module. > > My experience with Front so far has been highly positive, and it honestly doesn't take long until one can see the amount of time (and money) that the automation and integration will save the company. ----- ### "If you have multiple teams managing emails daily, Front is for you." — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *13 November 2023* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The internal team chat enhances communication and collaboration. The clarity of who is responding or seeing quickly that someone has responded so you do not waste time on emails that someone has already sent or is working on sending. > > **Cons**: The integration with WhatsApp that we use to communicate with drivers is really more geared toward communicating with customers and is a bit quirky but we made it work. > > Overall it was easy enough to set up and configure rules without much technical help. The difference from other systems we used to manage our email was instantly significant and improved efficiency and response times. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/102177/front?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/102177/front) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
