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. Review Source Response from Front March 30, 2026 Hey Mai šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ Thanks so much for sharing your feedback!

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.

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 whatā€™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, weā€™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 donā€™t sync back to Outlook, leaving shared and personal mailboxes full of unread messages. Thereā€™s also zero flexibility when product changes break existing workflows. Switched from [Trengo](https://www.capterra.com/p/177967/Trengo/) Trengo didn't integrate with Instagram at the time. Review Source Response from Front February 13, 2026 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. DC Dennis C. Medical Laboratory Technologist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Front is a 10/10" July 23, 2025 5.0 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.

" June 10, 2025 5.0 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. Pros User interface and the ability to use AI features for advancement. Incredible support services from the team vendors. Faster channel between service providers and customers.

Director Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Switched from [Freshdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/124981/Freshdesk/) because it didn't have an app which is why i changed Review Source JM Jay M. Director Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 fantasticā€”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 Review Source Response from Front May 16, 2025 Hi Jay.

GC Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time user " June 20, 2025 5.0 Pros Hotkeys make work go very quickly; snooze and send later work great; linking conversations, pinning docs in thread. Cons Pricing is quite steep, and depth of rules only goes so far--for example, SLA functionality is limited. Review Source Response from Front June 23, 2025 We're thrilled to hear that our features like hotkeys, snooze and send later, linking conversations, and pinning documents are helping you work quickly and efficiently!

Data Processor Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Front Review" September 18, 2025 5.0 It has been really good it enables shared inboxes, internal comments, and task assignments, boosting team efficiency. Pros It's consistency across browsers and devices, making applications accessible on desktops, mobile devices, and tablets. Cons Can be slow with large volumes of messages or complex workflows.

Community Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Review Source Response from Front November 27, 2025 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.

Let me know if you have any questions! AG Adam G. Director of the board Furniture Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source EH Emily H. Marketing and Techology Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Front is great!" May 27, 2025 5.0 We have used Front for several years now, it's been a great tool and core part of our software and systems. Pros Front's collaboration, shared inbox system and ability to coordinate with people on my team, make it a necessity in our core tech stack. Cons I can't think of anything in particular, Front is great and works really well for all our functions. Review Source Response from Front May 28, 2025 Thank you so much for your wonderful review! šŸŒŸ Weā€™re thrilled to hear that Front has become such an essential part of your tech stack and that the collaboration and shared inbox features are making a real difference for your team.

December 21, 2024 5.0 Pros It was so easy to integrate all the social media channels we wanted to be able to use all of them from the same interface. Cons At the beginning it seemed a bit difficult to understand but once I got the hang of it it was a breeze. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer President Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for collab, not so great for the budget" March 30, 2018 3.0 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. Review Source SAG Sydney Arin G. Blog Editor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for email management" August 30, 2023 5.0 Pros I love that Front gives you a single dashboard for all your emails. And also creates a collaboration space for you and your colleagues.We dealt with a lot of customers. And sometimes, I just didnā€™t know how to respond to emails. Tagging my colleagues in the emails and asking them to check my drafts was a game changer.Really great for communication and collaboration. Cons Thereā€™s quite a bit of a learning curve with Front. In the end, I was able to organize my inbox the way I like it, but it took a bit. Review Source AA Andres A. Logistics Coordinator Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My experience with Front" September 18, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with Front has been satisfactory, it has fulfilled all my expectations and has been crucial when it comes to keeping in contact with my coworkers. Pros I like how Front has helped me improve my workflow, allowing me to effectively communicate with my team members is a vital aspect of my day-to-day. Cons I have not encountered any issues when using Front, it is usually bug-free, and the customer service they provide is top-notch. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer SDR Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Front is amazing tool to manage your email " May 25, 2022 5.0 It's amazing overall. We saw email managed properly. Being a part of sales team email tracking is a bliss as it increases our productivity Pros Frot is amazing. The best feature is email tracking through which you can get the read receipt of the email. Also, the tagging feature is good and helpful where you can tag or assign your teammates on the email Cons The user interface is a bit complicated and difficult to use for the new user. Also, the mobile app tends to go slow sometime. Rest all is good Review Source LL Lauren L. Senior Operations Coordinator Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Shared Work Model DREAM!" September 25, 2020 5.0 Pros My team uses Front daily for our customer communication, as well as internal communication. The ability to tag an internal user and comment on the threads without having to reply to the email is a game-changer when it comes to problem-solving and communication regarding more complex emails. We used multiple inboxes, separated into different inbox groups, with different permissions. It was easy to track and manage despite having so many inboxes. In a shared work model, the ability to assign emails to yourself or other members of the team was extremely useful, to ensure we were not doing double-work or responding to emails at the same time. On top of that, you would be able to see when a teammate was replying or typing under the email, which was a good way to know who was working on what. Cons Front tended to have quite a few outages and crashes that impacted our workflow heavily. Fortunately these were able to be resolved quickly and communication was reliable and fast! However, the number of times we experienced an outage was frustrating. Review Source JL Joyce L. Lead Product Manager Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best email collaboration software" September 3, 2020 5.0 Pros Our support team first migrated over to Front from a traditional ticketing software a couple of years ago, and we were blown away by how easy it was to use. We've since added other use cases and teams to Front, and most of our team members also use it as their main email client for their personal work emails. I also personally love the ability to automate parts of our workflow using Zapier and the Front API ā€” it's a real game-changer. Cons There have been significant price increases over the last few years since we've started using the software. While we'd like to have more team members using Front, the pricing is just not feasible for us at this point. The other small thing would be very specific missing features we would love to see that just aren't supported at the moment. But that's totally understandable as our use case may not be very common.

It's easy to set up and use. We use it on a daily basis to allocate and track orders Pros Being able to auto-import our orders and then allocate them to a delivery driver is really simple and easy within Front. Cons I haven't seen any downsides to using Front at this time. Review Source Response from Front February 6, 2024 We're glad your experience has been positive and that you're seeing a ton of value in easily assigning orders to drivers. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! AH Arthur H. Customer Care Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game-Changer" January 17, 2023 5.0 This product caused me to uninstall outlook from my computer. Efficient, easy to use product with great tools that are huge timesavers. Pros Delegation of emails in the inbox. Snoozing orders to reopen when they need to be dispatched. Merging multiple emails when silly people reply to an email by using a new thread or merging order confirmation emails with customer queries. Cons Inability to track statistics with Power Bi - there is a limit on the API. You pay by plan not by usage. The calendar doesn't have a scheduling assistant like Outlook does. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer System Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source CAC Cheryl Ann C. Customer Service Representative Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Review Source PF Patrick F. Application Engineer Building Materials Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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.
