Key questions are about: mention handling capabilities, maximum monthly volume, analytical functions, social platform compatibilities, possible integrations with other services (for example Bitly, Zendesk)
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.
We have renewed with Engagor on a month-to-month basis. In my experience some of the glitches Engagor experiences are too risky for some of the large brands my team handles. We want to use a listening/monitoring tool that we can trust as this service is something the company uses every single day. For our budget, as well, we would like to have more data space for search, as we do new business presentations quite frequently. When auditing new business social platforms, we like to give them a look at the competitive landscape on social, which can take up a lot of space for business that may not even come to fruition. I've updated this review to reflect that I am no longer in a role that regularly collects social media data or compiles reports, so I defer to my colleagues for an official recommendation on listening tools or other channels that might perform the same service as Engagor.
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.
We evaluated Hootsuite, Coosto and Sparkcentral. Our contract with Engagor will end in 2016 so we’re currently looking at other tools as well. We made a selection between 9 or 10 tools and we are evaluating them to see which one is most valuable.
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.
