Great product: good collaborative efforts, some room for growth.

I am still learning so there are many buttons I don't know what they do and so many places to find your communications. I get a little confused.

The tagging function between colleagues is very convenient. Overall, the interface is also very pleasant and easy to use.

Very user friendly and so helpful when you are managing a high volume of emails in a day.

On top of that, you would be able to see when a teammate was replying or typing under the email, which was a good way to know who was working on what.

It's very intuitive to talk with the team and get back to customers/prospects with an answer. A win win and great investment for company that works digitally.

I also personally love the ability to automate parts of our workflow using Zapier and the Front API — it's a real game-changer.

The modern UI and feature set are both great and this software is extremely helpful in executing our day to day communications through all of our customer-facing channels.

Shared inbox is  very useful to assign specific conversations or issues to the correct person to action. Templates and tags are also great to save time.

Seems like a decent platform but they ask too much trust in their pricing model, don't recommend.

I highly recommend Front for team-based customer service or support teams who can take advantage of shared drafts, comments, assigning threads, tags, and snoozing.

HOWEVER, the use of @ symbol is different than the other communication software we use (Slack). Can be confusing when using the two.

Front allows us to automate a lot of our communication and integrates seamlessly with our workflow systems. It has kept my team organized and efficient.

I use it to reply tickets for customers every day. It's a solid helpdesk and on par with the best helpdesk out there.

In a shared work model, the ability to assign emails to yourself or other members of the team was extremely useful, to ensure we were not doing double-work or responding to emails at the same time.

When you send a message there is a gap of 5 seconds to cancel it but once it has been sent there is no way to recall it.

This has been a terrible onbaording process, terrible. Zero support, everything is by email and comitments made were not follwoed through.

Terribel support and onboarding proces. The handoff from sales to cusotmer supprot has bene horrible.

In addition, it does have trouble loading every once in a while, and requires a hard reset.

Sales Rep was educated, nice, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Then the product was easy to use and solved what we needed.

It has been a game-changer for our teams at work. We all use it as our email client and it helps us communicate more effectively which saves time and ultimately money.

It’s the best professional level software for any office or school. Very reliable and super user friendly.

I grew up with this software, it was taught to me at school and I thought it was the only way to do things. I was in love with Microsoft 365, its useful, accessible and easy to use tools.

I love that the programs integrate seamlessly and can store files online in the SharePoint platform for ease of use when sharing documents for collaboration.

It's very easy to use and the fact that you are able to not only switch between them very quickly and seamlessly, but the fact that they integrate with one another is amazing.

Overall experience is great start from installing to using and updating yearly in the organisation. It just takes care of its own when it comes to updating which is great.

It is terrible on mobile or even if you just have the admin panel taking up half of your screen. Can be frustrating to work with.

The overall suite is nice to collaborate with fellow employees on specifically Microsoft Teams is amazing for collaboration.

My overall experience is good  I would recommend this program to everyone. I have had a positive experience  with this program.

If I have no internet connection then I an not able to access anything which can be frustrating if I am out somewhere with no connection.

My experience with Microsoft 365 has been great. I really like using the software because it helps me with business letters and eeseach.

It's nice to have a one-stop-shop for all of your needs. That makes it super helpful because it works across platforms.

Non profit pricing is excellent. Love the Office 365 Exchange much better than on-site.

Customer Service is included in the cos,  I have had to call them a couple of times and have been taken care of by a real person and they have resolved whatever issue I was having.

Everything you love about the disk version of Microsoft but in the cloud. Super easy to use, super easy to share - and you can plugin in Grammarly.

I like some of the apps that you can integrate with the system. They are superior and more advanced.

There are many things that I love about this program. The price point is fantastic, especially considering all the resources you get for a small monthly fee.

It's super easy to setup for my employees. I get the peace of mind they are using the best.

And all includen in the same plan. I use it in my work space and its amazing, the flexibility and the integration is amazing.

I like the ease of use of Office 365. It is a great value for the money and helps me keep all of my business information easily accessible.

The auto quarantining is a bit aggressive and sometimes has false positives. As an admin I can release them so no email is lost, but still a bit annoying.

I love that they offer Office 365 for free to use, and I love the ease of most of their apps, such as Microsoft Word, and a few other docs.

Doing the same search query on desktop vs. browser will consistently return different results, which is particularly frustrating. The calendaring system has also gotten worse over the years.

The overall experience has been wonderful. Even the customer support was a pleasant surprise, compared to others.

It was a godsend to have 365 in place, because I was able to move my business out of the office as needed during the more challenging springtime, and now have the option to work from home as desired.

The microsoft suite is amazing because it is compatible with pretty much everything now. Making documents is great because it has review things where you can send things to other people.

Microsoft Support is horrible and it takes an incredibly long time to get through to them if you have a problem.

Overall Microsoft 365 is an amazing product with great features and wonderful customer service.

The customer service staff is amazing and well trained. My experience with Office 365 has been amazing and I will continue using this product.

It’s been a great product and I like having mag programs to get various jobs done. Price point is good and quality is great.

The worst thing would be that its hard to recover lost excel documents as they don't show in recent workbooks.

I love that this program is very easy to use and has lots of functionality. I also love that there is a place to find answers when necessary.

Great suite of products. With Excel, Word, and Outlook being at the forefront of the great softwares that are part of office 365.

Ease of use and the ability to communicate and share your screen with coworkers. Great part of the Office 365 suite.
