What differentiates Front from other similar products?
One of the most significant issues we've been able to tackle with Front is the creation of company-wide and private labels, which allow employees to view and work on the emails they need to see, Front allows you to sort and filter emails that you don't need. Front has certainly cured my problem with email forgetfulness, you may send it to the future and have it return to your inbox at a set time by using the snooze feature. Previously, you had to create multiple folders to filter your emails or simply leave the email in your inbox to remember to respond later.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The feature of Front that I appreciate the best is the ability to tag coworkers in emails without having to react to the email externally, we may talk and work on a problem before responding to an outside source. I really like the archive option, which eliminates the need to separate emails into distinct folders. It's also useful to be able to search not only your own inbox and archived emails, but also other people's inboxes. It appears to be quite trustworthy, and I have never had an instance of lost email.
What do you dislike most about this product?
With all of the rules it employs to classify emails, Front may be perplexing. If an aspect for the rule is entered improperly, someone may or may not have access to an email you require. It might be intimidating for new users, but I found it to be pretty simple to learn. Front is a great resource that I can't believe I've survived without after using Outlook for my whole professional career. I'd use Front over Outlook every day, so there's not much to hate.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Front might be challenging to master at first, especially if you're coming from an application like Outlook. However, if you understand the Front process and how to filter emails and build rules that suit your organization, it's a fantastic application that keeps everyone on track, that is why I prefer Front over any other email system I've used; the features have made my work life easier.

What differentiates Front from other similar products?
We mostly utilize it for client communication: as project managers (both technical and operational/marketing), we have 10 to 20 projects going concurrently. It improves communication between us; for example, we may simply ping colleagues who know more about a topic to ask for their expertise. The snooze option is also handy for reminding us when to return to a customer and preventing us from having fifty emails in our inbox. It has contributed significantly to highly qualified integral development; it is the greatest alternative for disseminating various interaction procedures.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I am glad that the program is of great importance. Front has been able to build numerous areas of strong and great communication with team members. The UI is really appealing, and I feel very comfortable utilizing its functions. I am appreciative for your assistance. The nicest thing about Front is the collaborative component; there are usually numerous individuals working on a project at the same time, and having a shared inbox, communicating internally in the same thread, and sharing our drafts helps us a lot to be more productive. It is also quite simple to distribute projects/subjects.
What do you dislike most about this product?
You're having sync troubles with mobile devices; it should be lot easier or more accessible. One issue we occasionally have is that when customers use our general address (projects@...), which we usually correspond with, it does not always come up immediately in our inbox (if they start a new thread and is not allocated), so we must be cautious and keep a check on the common inbox as well. It can also be an issue if they utilize this generic URL to provide us with access to test builds, for example.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If communication internally and with clients is a vital element of your profession, I would suggest Front. It is useful for sharing information with coworkers and managing your email box. It entails several benefits that will assist you in developing networks and direct interactions with any member of the firm. You'll appreciate how its interface is built, and the pricing is reasonable. One of the most crucial features is shared mailbox, and you should utilize many that offer it eg projects, support, partners. You should also provide tags to assist clarify the view and identify essential threads or the location of the project..

Does the job but has its quirks

What differentiates Front from other similar products?
I don't think Front tries to differentiate from similar products, but just provides a secure platform that companies can use to substitute for gmail etc.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like that you can link your phone number into the product and text message using their application.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The product is very slow sometimes and it feels old. The app needs a refresher to feel smooth and up to date like gmail.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Front is a great application that has never let us down, but definitely test other products since these products are similar in what they do and see what works best for your company.
