You can customise it to do what you want to do. Put in the work to learn the back and end and build your own guest journey. You are not limited like other competitors to how the guest flow goes, you build your own. Support are great in helping with this and always attentive
I think Front is very useful for every company with multiple teams working together on different emails from clients. Not so useful if a lot of different teams need to work on a request at the same time, because when an email is sitting in multiple shared inboxes things can get messy. Also would not recommend for teams that work is individualized, as team work is the main point of Front.
I call them "sticky notes" but Front calls them Comments. It's a way to collaboratively make comments on messages sent to joint inboxes for folks to coordinate a response before it goes back to the sender.
When exchanging with someone using the Comments feature, someone can create a draft reply and then share it before it goes out. It also includes the typing indicator letting you know they are not just replying, but specifically working on a draft reply. These things are really great for individuals, or teams, that don't sit next to each other.
Tagging. It's a fairly simple concept, but very useful for classifying notes and being able to manage, what could be, a messy inbox. Additionally, the ability to have your own personal tags really allows the user to manage their own messages in a way that works best for them.
Zoom Meeting Integration as there are some clients who want to have a call immediately.
Tagging can be improved - looks scattered.
Calendly Integration, they have their own calendar appointment but it would be good if I don't need to leave the front to set up [calendar] appointments.
As great as AKAI is, its only issue is we cant take payments through our PMS - AKIA is reluctant to work with PMS payments as it wants to take payment itself. If this cant be navigated and other opportunities within our PMS appear that can do what AKAI does, it will force us to move in this direction
Once you get past the blanc canvas and begin to build, you learn its capability and become ingrossed. Easy, user friendly once you get your head around the set up
It's very easy to understand and use by new customer support agents as well. Be it a technology, product, or marketing person, we have trained most of the company folks to read and respond to customer conversations in their free time with the help of the Front app. It is also easy to set up for an admin and manage his/her team with communication rules.
The support is good, and it's definitely prompt, but still lags when it comes to technical requirements, as I guess they are slow in developing newer features fast. So no complaints in terms of responsiveness, but yeah, at times it's not very helpful when you need certain features or are blocked on things which can't be unblocked.
Initially its a blanc canvas, once we got our head around that your good. It does take a fair few onboarding sessions to really learn. With the blanc canvas approached AKAI need to remember new buyers will be overwhelmed by this possibly
This is something I am not familiar but it seems like it is [available] in Gmail. Thus I cannot give any feedback about it. What I am sure about is Front works for our team and I see Zoom using the service in the Customer Success Organization in a long run.
Quality- with all the benefits given, in just matter of time, all your organization will find it familiar and less effort is needed when composing emails.
Effectiveness- no one wants to miss an email, or never respond to a possible customer. Front will help you that. If you do not want to send that email now, you can set a timer and Front will send it for you later on.
Simplicity- Front is not the most difficult app to handle, indeed, it is too easy to learn. From the first moment you will have a guided tour and will learn all the good things that it has for you.
