### "Front Row Seat!"

March 28, 2026

5.0

Front feels like a one stop shop! It works with Gmail and Outlook, which is super helpful and it really creates a main hub for our various channels and apps.

Pros

Loving the automated workflow that has been super simple for our team to set up and implement as a powerful new tool to help us scale.

Cons

Haven't found any cons yet! It's already seeming like a better option than Hiver, which we were also considering.

### "Front changes the game"

December 29, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Front has been a positive one. I feel like I have a more efficient and steamed lined control over communications and collaborations with our departments.

Pros

I like the ease of use. The unified inbox is an amazing tool that makes getting communications out super efficient.

Cons

Nothing in particular that I dislike. I am still learning to use all its functions but so far so good.

### "Outlook sync is one-way only. Made Front unusable for our team."

February 3, 2026

1.0

Front no longer offers a true two-way Outlook sync, and that makes it unusable for any team that works across both Front and Outlook. Emails are pulled into Front, but actions taken in Front such as reading, archiving, deleting, or tagging do not sync back to Outlook. The result is that emails already dealt with in Front continue to sit as unread in shared and personal Outlook mailboxes, causing constant confusion, duplication of work, and mailbox overload. This is not a minor limitation. For mixed teams, it breaks the core purpose of a shared inbox, because no one can reliably tell what’s been handled. Once our account was migrated to this behaviour in January 2026, the issue was immediately obvious in real-world use. We confirmed the behaviour was permanent and cancelled straight away. Front acknowledged the limitation but refused early termination, relying entirely on contract wording despite the breaking change originating on their side. Since being forced to look elsewhere, we’ve found several tools that now do this job better and far more cheaply. We moved to Missive and the difference has been night and day. Front may work if your entire team lives inside Front and never touches Outlook. If Outlook integration matters to you at all, I would strongly recommend avoiding it.

Pros

The interface is clean and simple to setup. Integrates with social accounts easily enough. Not much else.

Cons

The Outlook integration is no longer a true two-way sync. Emails are pulled into Front, but actions taken in Front don’t sync back to Outlook, leaving shared and personal mailboxes full of unread messages. There’s also zero flexibility when product changes break existing workflows.

Hi there, thanks so much for this detailed review, we really appreciate hearing your thoughts - particularly around the two-way sync changes. The two-way sync change was a big step for Front customers and for mixed teams I can imagine the disruption could be huge. There are ways you can build workflows to manage this (leveraging webhooks and the Front API), but I know that's certainly not possible for all teams to take on. Thanks again for taking the time to share your team's experience, we're constantly looking for ways to improve.

My overall experience with Front has been remarkable for over three years now. It is my go-to solution for customer support through live chat and email.

Pros

Customers require to be engaged 24/7 to retain them. Front is one of the tools that I use to seamlessly collaborate with our patients by sending them their results whenever they need them through live chat, phone and email. Customer support has been at optimal in my organization through Front.

Cons

Being on the front line on customer services it assist in channeling communication directly to customers, creates a friendly platform to chat, send messages and files and engage the right agents on time.

### "Horrible new UI that they've just changed to - oh and they've upped the price as a thank you."

August 6, 2025

1.0

It was good, after getting used to how they try to put everything behind a paywall. Recently they've changed the user interface which looks horrible, apparently thousands of people loved the changes, but I was never asked to trial and this is usually things companies say to make it look like your the only one that dosn't like the change.

Pros

They've changed the whole user interface and just increased the user interface. people who don't use the app, making design decisions on what they think customers want. It's unworkable at the moment

Cons

The ability for the company to put everything behind the paywall and think that their engineers know better than anyone and make changes to the program without asking their users, because people who have never used the program think the program should behave or look a certain way.

### "Game-Changing Email Management for Teams"

March 12, 2025

5.0

Front has completely transformed the way our team manages email communication! The shared inbox functionality is a game-changer, making collaboration seamless and ensuring no messages slip through the cracks. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the ability to assign emails, leave internal comments, and automate workflows has significantly boosted our efficiency. The integrations with other tools we use daily, like Slack and our CRM, make it even more powerful. Customer support is also fantastic—quick, helpful, and always responsive. If you're looking for a smarter way to handle team emails, I highly recommend Front!

Pros

The integrations with other tools, Customer support

Cons

No current complaints about front, we are happy with their system

It has been really good it enables shared inboxes, internal comments, and task assignments, boosting team efficiency.

### "AI that giving help"

November 23, 2025

4.0

Pros

The AI is very helpful for composing emails, allowing me to sound more professional, confident, or friendly. Assistance in this area is always welcome for me, they make my process so simple.

Cons

My eyesight isn't what it used to be, and I find myself wishing it were easier to zoom in on things. I wish we could snooze a calendar reminder.

Hi Nuria, Thank you for the great review! We're happy the AI feature is helping you compose your emails with the tone you prefer. I hear you on the need for easier zooming and calendar snooze. Zooming: You can zoom the whole Front app interface using Cmd + (Mac) or Ctrl + (Windows). We also have an open request for better zoom controls in our Product Ideas Portal. Please visit https://community.front.com/ideas and vote on PRD-I-4195 (just search this code) to help prioritize the update!

### "Great software, hard to be without"

April 22, 2020

5.0

Pros

The best part of Front is that it only adds a layer on top of already existing things, such as an e-mail inbox. Other helpdesk software systems tend to be built around their own database structures and add e-mail on top of that instead. The approach that Front uses also means that if one were to ever leave Front, every single correspondence with customers is still sitting in your e-mail account (s).

Cons

There's not really anything I've ever disliked about the software. My pet peeve is that they've raised the prices quite dramatically over the last years. I'm disappointed that software creators these days seem to lure customers in with low prices to build their base and then raise the prices once they have a big enough customer base. But all in all, the software in itself is great.

Alternatives considered

[Freshdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/124981/Freshdesk/)[Zendesk Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/164283/Zendesk/)

Reason for choosing Front

Because Front uses a completely approach which I think is a much more logical one, especially for a company like hours where each "ticket" or correspondence is usually resolved quickly.

### "Daily Front User Experience"

April 28, 2025

5.0

Very positive overall. I use it daily, and it combines email with internal chat functions.

Pros

I use it on a daily basis to collaborate with peers and end users alike. It's very handy to utilize group distros and I think it's better at remote inbox management than Outlook delegates.

Cons

I wish the organization system for emails could be better, and use a folder methodology instead of just tags.

Hi Chad! Thank you so much for your feedback! We're happy to hear Front's been working well for you! 😃 Regarding organizing your workspace in Front, you could utilize empty inboxes (inboxes not connected to a channel) to organize messages. I've included some additional info on that here: https://help.front.com/en/articles/2249

### "The Best Team Collaboration Tool!"

December 19, 2019

5.0

My team is able to be more efficient and we all can see past comments and such so it makes our team more cohesive. Many times the client doesn't even know which team member they're speaking to because we are so united...because of Front. We are able to create Asana tasks directly from our Front inbox which saves some time. I am able to stay more organized and keep the cleanest inbox that I've ever had in my entire 20+ years of work experience. I can't believe that I could even live without Front before. I don't see how I can ever go back to the old way of just sending e-mails and losing the collaboration function that Front provides. One problem that many people have is tagging an e-mail as backup for a task or the like. With the permalink feature, we're now able to attach an e-mail string to any Asana task so that the we can quickly refer back to the e-mail without screenshots and the like. It's so much easier now to keep all of our information together without an overload of e-mail messages.

Pros

I love being able to comment to teammates and to create a client-specific e-mail for our clients to respond to in order for collaboration to be smoother and for communication to be shared. I like being able to share drafts with my team so that they can review and even send if needed. If my direct reports want an e-mail to come from me but want to be sure I say exactly what they want to be heard then they just type up the e-mail, share the draft and @mention me, I edit it, my signature automatically attaches and then I send the e-mail as if I had written it. It's actually quite brilliant instead of sending an e-mail to one person to review, you can share it and everyone can see the edits. I like how you can immediately see at the top the tags of whose folder you're in so that you don't have to search through the e-mail to realize where you may be or which client you're working with. I also like the feature that lets you know if one of your colleagues archive the message that you're currently looking at. It helps to know this so that you know whether or not you need to reply to the message or assume that they're still going to respond. I also love how we can snooze an e-mail until later so they don't junk up the inbox. I am usually terrible at just leaving my inbox full with unnecessary messages that I forget to get back to until it's too late. With Snooze, I now say goodbye for now and get it out of my mind completely and then am reminded of it at the appointed time.

Cons

I haven't really found anything that I don't like yet. One thing that may improve but is not a big deal is that tagging folders at the top right does not always work but if I drag the message to that folder then it does work. It would be nice if you could add an Asana task from Front without adding it to a project. For example, if it's a private task that I don't want shared with anyone else then I should either be able to make it private or not add it to a shared project. I was going to say that I would love to make reactions to the comments placed in Front but it appears that that option was added 18 hours ago so someone else beat me to the punch. It might be nice to have the option to add a follower to an e-mail thread but make it so that they cannot see any previous comments to when they were added. This would just make it so that you can share current information going forward but not include any past information that you may not have wanted to get into their hands. I'm sure Hillary would have loved that feature. One thing that I would love to add is an @mention to say something like @all or @everyone that tags everyone that is assigned or a follower to a particular e-mail comment thread.

### "Front, a must need in your business!"

June 27, 2020

5.0

I strongly recommend using Front. Not only is the program / email-client very good, but the employees at Front are also equally capable. Through the e-mails they send and the experience I've had with their customer service, I noticed they really care about their program and what the consumer thinks of it. If you have any questions, they will answer it properly. If you have any suggestions, they will sincerely think about it. Front has impacted my work, by making my work easily manageable. I can clearly see incoming e-mails being divided into different inboxes. Everyone can have different rights, so not everyone can see how cases are handled. Furthermore I can easily search my sent e-mails, even by using formula's such as ‘from:’ or ‘to:’, which makes searching older conversations or e-mails for bigger cases very easy. This can be very though in other e-mail clients. I can conclude that my overall experience with Front is very good!

Pros

I like how everything is organized and therefore is easy to see. I can clearly see the divided inboxes on the left, making it easy to see how much work still needs to be done. Also, the e-mail conversations itself are shown like they are in e.g. iMessage or Whatsapp. This feels really familiar and makes it easy to read really long conversations. Moreover, there are many settings, which can make the difference for various different users. For example, I use the 'Paste as text' setting, so everything I paste is stripped of its formatting. I know some of my colleagues dislike this, but I love it. Furthermore, shortcuts are easy to learn and this makes it possible to work even faster. Overall, I think Front feels very intuitive, it is easy to learn, and makes e-mailing a lot easier.

Cons

At the moment, there is but 1 thing I dislike. When you’ve just sent a new e-mail, it takes a while to show up in the ‘sent’ folder. We used to be able to see that immediately. Because of the way we work, we copy and paste the text of the sent e-mail in our other systems. This delay, especially when one sends many e-mails, is particularly annoying. This is the only minor thing I think can be improved.

### "A Great Software to Communicate With Customers"

July 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

I've used Zendesk for years, which is a really popular customer ticket support software, and this software is way better than it! The UI is already familiar as its set up like the main inbox to your Gmail or Outlook account and you can actually see when a customer has 'Seen' your message! The software has its own Desktop app unlike a lot of others, but I mostly use it through the web to sift through multiple tickets easily. A great benefit, as well, is how easily you can integrate other software into their plug in feature. So you can connect it with your business' Shopify, Salesforce, WhatsApp, Google drive and many many other apps! There's a comment section on each conversation that you can use to communicate with team members and because it's a true emailing software, you can CC and BCC other people on your customer's messages, if necessary. You can set a time limit for how long you have to cancel a sending response and you can create templates for canned responses/macros that you will have to use on a regular. It's a really great software and I wish I could use it for every email/ticket customer support role I'm ever in.

Cons

The only dislike I have is when I was first given access to it, I selected the option to log in with my work's Google account to make the process easier. I then realized that my work emails were actually coming into the main Front's inbox and all the other teams could see those messages. I found the option to turn off all personal incoming messages but I could not unlink my Google account from it so I can still see all my old messages in my inbox and have no way of removing them without them being deleted from my actual work account's email.

### "Switch to Front and you don't have to Cc anymore! "

March 10, 2020

5.0

Overall, Front is awesome! It has multiple options and features to make your life easier. You can create "tags" to your e-mails and archive them in the same folder. You can also "snooze" an e-mail for a particular day & time so you won't forget about it. There is something I really like and it is the feature "new discussion" in which you can select your teammates, discussion topic, add comments rather than sending a regular e-mail (this will help you to avoid hundreds of e-mail for the same discussion)

Pros

What I like the most about Front is that I don't have to use Cc option on e-mails anymore. Front has a lot of great options and one of them is called "mention" Let's say a customer writes to you and you are not the correct contact person for that e-mail: with our previous electronic mail supplier we had to go over it and write something like "I'm copying Karen here who will help you out with your request" and copy Karen's name on Cc space. But with Front now we just need to "assign" that e-mail to the right coworker and it'll disappear from you inbox. Then it'll go automatically to the right person and he or she will reply from it (without customer seeing too many e-mail redirectioning to the correct party)

Cons

There is something I haven't found on Front and it is the option called "recall message". When you send a message there is a gap of 5 seconds to cancel it but once it has been sent there is no way to recall it

We use it mainly to communicate things in between the team but it help us specially to handle issues which require the attention of many members of our team. Like I said before, it saves us those 2 minute calls or at least miscommunication issues that can make you not deliver to your customer.

Pros

How simple is to communicate and handle issues between our customers and our team. It just saves you a lot of time, specially those unnecessary "2 minute calls".

Cons

It might be a little expensive, specially if you are just starting or at least the opportunity cost might be quite high compared with some other tools you might want to have (Regardless the department).

### "The absolute worst customer support I have ever experienced"

January 29, 2019

2.0

The only reason we haven't left already is that we've invested too much time building a system in Front.

Pros

Pretty accessible to learn up front, but they are not communicative at all about the updates they release.

Cons

Front pays very little attention to user experience, as evidenced by the fact that they did not give users the option to opt of their Front 2.0 release. Our company's workflow was based heavily on the layout of Front's original version, and they gave zero warning about the enormous changes that were coming with 2.0. Additionally, their customer support team is an absolute joke. They consistently refuse to look into reported issues with even minor effort, and will often straight up tell members of my team that they are wrong about reported bugs rather than offer assistance. When one of my team members gave a front representative a poor review with detailed feedback in response to how he handled a bug report, the front rep actually gave my colleague a 1 star review in reply. Not a great way to run a company at all, especially considering that we are paying customers.

August 17, 2020

5.0

We're thrilled with our experience. Support team really does an incredible job at providing super helpful information quickly and kindly. Their self-support documentation is also wonderful. The application itself functions as expected for our inbound sales team to manage hundreds of inquiries with Canned Responses, auto responses, Snooze + Follow up, tagging, and collaboration. Highly recommend the tool. We use Zendesk for our Customer Experience team (support). It is a very robust tool and we haven't evaluated fully what it would look like to move to Front App from Zendesk. The needs get very technical for huge customer support operations, so Front would probably be sufficient, but I haven't fully vetted that.

Pros

I love the customer support. The tool behaves as expected and has the requirements we need to manage a global set of 6 inbound sales teams, managing tickets that come from all of our property listing sites. It has integration with Salesforce that allows our reps to interact seamlessly (for 90%+ of instances). We're very happy with the rule automation and workflow management. Our company heavily relies on Front and is happy to do so!

Cons

The analytics are pretty good, but could use some more flexibility. There are a couple niche, specific limitations that we have that we have to build workarounds for. Honestly can't think of a major pain for our use case. It is a sales use case, not customer support. Very rare down time, and any issue is displayed for all to see and addressed quickly.

### "Front has allowed our company to save about a 5 to 1 ROI in time savings"

July 10, 2018

5.0

Major time savings and better organization is the key benefit we get as well as being able to build our own custom plugins.

Pros

Front allows teams to work in a more organized flow with incoming emails. One of the ways we have been able to utilize Front has been to group all emails for specific teams into Team inboxes and then team members can take emails out of the queue and work to bring the box to zero. This has saved us a lot of time from trying to organize emails in outlook. The main selling feature for us however was the ability to create a custom plugin in the panel on the right as well as pull data from the current conversation from the Front API that is well built. This allows us to customize our flow. Front also has several default integrations some more useful than others. They seem to be growing at a large pace so you can expect to see major enhancements with the product in the future.

Cons

The price can be a little high per user and the Enterprise version doesn't seem to offer the kinds of benefits you would want to see for such a large price jump. There also seem to be some features on enterprise that feel like they should be one tier down like user roles and authorization.

### "The New Front-tier of Remote Working"

December 20, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with Front is it allows you work efficiently, keep in touch with your team at all times and overall just allows you work faster.Personally, I believe it is a great tool to have for any organization because of the integrations and features it offers.

Pros

Front looks like a regular email with upgrades which includes the followingArchive: This is used instead of deleting in case to need it again you can do a searchOpen: This is where your emails that needs to be handled are kept. Whether or not they are read or unreadAssigned: My favorite, once an email is assigned to you, you must handle it. You are able to assign task or tickets to yourself or unassigned as well.Snooze is another good one. This is like a parking lot. You can leave a ticket here and pick it up tomorrowOther things I like about Front are, It allows you to integrate your personal and work emails in one place and offers the option for personal inbox, team inboxes and the ability to assign a conversation. Front even gives you the option to add your companies plugins.

Cons

As a user, I honestly can't think of anything that's missing right now. It's a great tool.

### "Best Email Client To Date"

August 12, 2020

5.0

Front allows me to involve team members in an email chain using the comments feature, without informing the client or unrelated individuals. This makes distance working easier as we can collaborate on a topic or ask for assistance quickly.

Pros

Easy inbox management, use of the archive feature and snooze allows you to delay not important emails, or to clean up emails awaiting replies. Tags allow easy sorting of various tasks and topic related emails into one place.

Cons

When viewing a discussion on the mobile app, it takes you from the start of the discussion, rather than the most recent message, which is a pain for internal conversations between multiple employees on a topic. the search feature is implemented well, but needs some work with regards to discussions.
