Front

I can share and comment on threads with the rest of my team. As an admin, I also have granular control over users' access permissions to email inboxes.

The disregard the little details over and over again in favor of new updates. The app (iOS especially) makes me wait a lot of times when it shouldn't, making it feel slow in stark contrast to other mail apps. Things don't load instantly. Contacts aren't cached. Their UI designers blatantly disregard Android / iOS / Mac / web design conventions (which are there for a reason) in favor of their own convoluted system. Their release notes are boring and they make me update my app even when it's perfectly usable (this condescending attitude is particularly annoying). Many of these small glitches have actually led to catastrophic disasters within my team like unwittingly sending followup emails ("sequences") to 200+ recipients. My advice to them: focus on stabilizing your current, buggy product rather than trying to introduce a million features that don't work 100%.

I love that Front gives you a single dashboard for all your emails. And also creates a collaboration space for you and your colleagues.We dealt with a lot of customers. And sometimes, I just didn’t know how to respond to emails. Tagging my colleagues in the emails and asking them to check my drafts was a game changer.Really great for communication and collaboration.

There’s quite a bit of a learning curve with Front. In the end, I was able to organize my inbox the way I like it, but it took a bit.

The ability to simply @mention someone in an email thread helped smooth out efficiency with our external communications.

Before using FrontApp, we would either have to forward email threads or link to email threads in Slack. Now, if our teams need assistance from other departments, they can use an @mention to give immediate context to the helping party.

Creating Rules using conditions is a breeze and is powerful using their rules editor.

Some of the "Comment" features were lacking--rich text formatting needed to be in markdown format, no pinned comments, closing edited comments. That being said, they had a recent update that completely addressed all those issues.
