Pros

“the LiveChat notifications work on every message, I was also able to transform a conversation into a ticket when the chat ended with a workflow automation that worked the first time!”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Brian S.

Director

“Limited customization of AI responses, had some spam come through that muddied up responses, AI responses could be improved with longer, more-detailed questions”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jenna O.

Digital Marketer

“It offers me the opportunity to communicate with any questions or comments I have while allowing me to continue working in the background”
DM

David M.

Analyst

Pros

“The email notification feature is very convenient as it allows me to collaborate with everyone in the company.”
CJ

Céline J.

Content Manager

“It works with Gmail and Outlook, which is super helpful and it really creates a main hub for our various channels and apps.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Mai M.

Managing Director

“Emails are pulled into Front, but actions taken in Front such as reading, archiving, deleting, or tagging do not sync back to Outlook.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Grey H.

Director

Cons

“Some times the live chat communication can lead to misunderstandings due to improper way of expressing the statements.”
MM

Mohammed M.

Project manager

“It behaves differently depending on whether it is used via browser or mobile, with absurd functional limits for a paid professional service.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Michela d.

Managing director

“I cannot remove nor rename a segment, this is a long time bug, I am used to, meaning that I can remove or rename it, but it then reappears 🤷‍♀️”
PB

Paul B.

Customer Experience Manager

Cons

“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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Grey H.

Director

“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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Robert K.

Director

“My eyesight isn't what it used to be, and I find myself wishing it were easier to zoom in on things.”
