Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Gmelius is perfectly suited for making templates for emails to go out to clients. You can easily share the templates with your team, too, so that everyone has access to them. Gmelius also does a great job of tracking emails so you can confirm the information was received by clients. It is not great to send emails out directly from the mobile app or Gmelius itself, but as a plugin it's perfect.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Easy to assign and action emails.
  • Easy to add notes for a particular individual to action them without missing out on important details.
  • Ready to use templates can be designed for everyday responses to clients.

Cons
  • 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.

  • POLING !!!!! Please!
  • Using images/videos in emails (or maybe I'm not doing it right).
  • I wish the dashboard was easier to navigate -- can be quite confusing/frustrating.

Usability
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.

Support Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
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.

monday.com is just not user-friendly, so much so that I can't really compare the two. Working on monday.com made me want to pull out my hair. I couldn't find anything, so I felt like I was missing things. This made me nervous and caused me to lose time. If I am losing time using a tool, ba-bye. Gmelius is super easy while being robustly functional

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • Overall, we did not see a significant ROI from Gmelius compared to other software.
  • Negative impact - time spent troubleshooting features that didn't work or were simply not user-friendly.
  • Negative impact - we felt we lost money because Gmelius removed features from our subscription that were contributing factors in using the software in the first place.
