Considered Both Products
Front
Chose Front
Front is cleaner from an email communication standpoint. Less details are sometimes better. Hubspot is more of a CRM and that focus is key. While Front is more of a communication channel.
Chose Front
Front was easier to have shared inbox. It also gave us more flexibility in tagging, both tagging users and tagging the emails to triage. It was also quick to set up and get users on boarded and trained. We found it was just a more intuitive and flexible system for us.
Chose Front
We switched to Front because of how simple it looked, then we realized we could tailor it to the type of business we have. I don't see us using any other tool to manage emails besides Front.

Chose Front
I have only used Gmail in the past and Front is any day better than Gmail in terms of the interface and ease of usage. The ability to send scheduling links and comments between the email threads makes it better than Gmail. The shared inbox also makes it easier for the entire …
Chose Front
Front's UX/UI is more intuitive. The work seems to flow better in their app.
Chose Front
A few features are very good in Front that are not in Outlook, like sharing draft content with teammates, commenting, read receipts, etc., which made us choose Front.
Chose Front
The tagging feature stands out. Their tagging can be quite deep and effective if it's set up properly. For example, I can pull out all the clients who [have] an issue with billing. Or better yet valued clients who [have] a specific MRR that has an issue with billing that needed …
Chose Front
Front is honestly an amazing blend of an email server and slack, as it allows for nimble, efficient, and immediate communication between team members without needing to forward a single email back-and-forth before finally responding to a client. Front also saves time when …
Chose Front
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.
Chose Front
Thanks to Front, it has allowed us to have smooth and effective internal communication between departments, attaching projects, problems, and endless files without any problem. It is allowing us to have practical and soft customer support.
Chose Front
Front is better than any other tool. It is a great app to use also because of its multipurpose features. Anyone can also use this app for your customized business needs and manage your work accordingly. I feel that Front is easy to use and it is also very user-friendly due to …
Chose Front
I love how scalable the software is. Also, Front comprises many good features that are needed for helping teams work efficiently and effectively for sales and support.
Chose Front
Front has been simple to implement and operate on our team. It is not possible to lose an email; it is impressive how it adapts better while being used daily. We can have excellent communication between colleagues, the percentage of evaluations, and changes in planned tasks …
Chose Front
Front is always getting the newest capabilities of the industry [and] is never behind. Instead, it provides you with features that [you] would not even think exist. Also, it is faster than other apps [and] takes just a moment for you to get started in your daily tasks.
Chose Front
Front was not designed as a ticketing system and doesn't have great reporting tools, but the commenting and draft features were important and other platforms' versions of these features were weak or unintuitive.

It should be noted that we ended up developing our own messaging …
Chose Front
It offered newer features and more ways to control user communication inflow, as well as team roster management. The Front app also had a presence on the app, mobile web, and web, which was helpful for on-the-go email queue management. In short, at the time we made this …
Chose Front
We have used Yesware. It's a really good lead prospecting tool, but doesn't have the shared inbox, or collaborative capabilities of Front.
Chose Front
Zendesk is by far the market leader here and offers a tremendous solution. It is, of course, very expensive -- especially if you require multi-brand support. Many of the other solutions (except Groove) offer some flavor of multi-brand support but they are not as good as …
Chose Front
We had all our leads going to a gmail account before front. Front solved so many problems that Gmail had. It was much more user friendly for somethings and it was a much more flexible software that we were able to use to meet our needs. It also has a reporting feature that …
Chose Front
Front is a flexible and quickly growing tool that integrates with almost every system we use. Front have been our go-to support system since we started and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
Sprinklr Service
Chose Sprinklr Service
We briefly used Hootsuite with another client. From day one, there were issues, from logging in to trying to compile data. We very quickly switched from that to Sprinklr.
Chose Sprinklr Service
Very similar in promptness, politeness and skill. Availability on weekends is good for both.
Chose Sprinklr Service
First, we had a social studio which was good in terms of functionalities but slow. After that, we had the chance to use Talkwalker & social bakers which were good tools yet not enough compares to Sprinklr
Chose Sprinklr Service
The tool is the best compared to the competition. It has advanced features. It is more difficult to master the operation, but in the long run, it is beneficial.
Chose Sprinklr Service
Many tools are the same, but the one where I noticed the biggest difference was between brandwatch and Sprinklr when it comes to social listening. Brand watch has a good and more affordable social listening platform, but it is not as easy to use and requires the client to code …
Chose Sprinklr Service
We also use Meltwater in our BU, and the good thing about Sprinklr is that you can actually compare your data numbers with the key word searches. Meltwater is limited in that it doesn't offer a wide range of services. Although the graphs and some other analysis functions on …
Chose Sprinklr Service
These tools were good to manage social interaction when you just have one or maybe two social media managers who take care of anything. When it comes to teams, there was not a good way to manage bigger amounts of requests and to have an overview of who does what. So you waste …
Chose Sprinklr Service
Sprinklr Modern Care is a stand out platform compared to previous social tools I've used. The listening tools are fantastic and unlimited.
Chose Sprinklr Service
Easy to use/user-friendly is the first benefit that comes to mind. It's very intuitive and doesn't require any training to get up and running and to start seeing the benefits.
Chose Sprinklr Service
The social listening and benchmarking dashboards of Sprinklr Modern Research have been a huge game changer for our department. They allow us to gauge the competitive landscape and monitor any trending topics in a particular space which allows us to realign our priorities for …
Chose Sprinklr Service
I only use this solution
Chose Sprinklr Service
We previously used Sparkcentral for our social media care. While we were very happy with the team there, the product had not evolved as much as Sprinklr and we found it to be lacking in its ability to handle different languages, route certain types of conversations with higher …
Chose Sprinklr Service
I've never used any Sprinklr Modern Care alternatives, but when it comes to communicating directly with customers, I much prefer using Sprinklr Modern Care over contact form and email interaction.
Chose Sprinklr Service
Prior to Sprinklr Modern Care, we used vBulletin and a custom repository to address the community needs of our customers. Keeping the experience user friendly was a key point on our needs list and our custom solutions and vBulletin forums were only positive experiences for our …
Chose Sprinklr Service
Evaluated and considered tools like uservoice, Lithium, Jive, and SuggestionBox. Ultimately, being able to quickly provision the system and test drive things in real-world situations really influenced the decision.
Chose Sprinklr Service
Uservoice.

We really liked the way that the Sprinklr Modern Care technology worked. It was really simple, easy for customers. Ultimately the technologies are not that different. The bigger reason is that we really appreciated the team at Sprinklr Modern Care.
Chose Sprinklr Service
• We use a tool called HelpSpot for email ticketing. They have a knowledge base for FAQs but no forum / community platform. Their technology not nearly as good • We looked at a number of tools that did either FAQ or feedback or community, but none except Sprinklr Modern Care …

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.

Sprinklr Service has always been well-suited for all of the work we do. As it's all social media content, and most require responses or escalations, Sprinklr Service covers all of that. The only time I think we wouldn't need it is if we were working with a much smaller client who didn't need us to have eyes on so many platforms at once.

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.

  • Transparency—Sprinklr Modern Care allows us to engage with our customers openly and honestly. Even frustrated or angry customer posts offer an avenue for us to display our business integrity and turn negative experiences into positive ones.
  • Moderation—Being able to moderate and organize our community so easily by merging topics into one canonical thread or archiving out of date threads helps to keep our search results relevant and improves the chances that our visitors find the help they need easily.
  • Company Visibility—The ability to easily alert any company employee of topics that might be interesting to them helps to improve the overall visibility of our customers. It also makes it easier to spot trends and encourage quick action if many people comment on one topic with the same problem.

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.

  • I find it difficult to dive into analytics for each social post. The reporting tool gives me an overview of the channels but I would love to look at a breakdown of each post performance.
  • You currently can't add closed caption subtitles to videos uploaded through Sprinklr so this results in having to revert to the native platform.
  • I would love to be able to set up a newsfeed that includes posts from a number of our partner accounts, so I can keep up to date with what they're posting.

The initial use of the product started out as a 90 day test to see if we could engage customers at a higher level using Sprinklr Modern Care. After a year the use of Sprinklr Modern Caren has now been extended to multiple products.

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.

It's a very easy program to learn and use. I have trained over 50 people on it over the years, and not once has anyone had trouble using it. It's very user-friendly and covers all the bases that social media moderation requires.

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.

I know the Sprinklr conference calls have been helpful, but sometimes submitting a ticket can be a little daunting. In the past, we've included information in screenshots that are then asked for by a member of the support staff. The turnaround time has been between 3 days, which isn't horrible.

Basic setup took me less than 30 minutes. This includes initial configuration, putting in the initial content, and getting the look-and-feel customized. The domain routing took the normal lag time any other website or blogging service. The really important thing was to get the user accounts setup and begin seeding the system with content before a public launch.

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.

  • Increased employee efficiency: Having a clear, one-stop "shop" where users can leave feedback, ask questions, and find bug fixes or workarounds has saved me (and other community managers at my company) loads of time that was once spent responding to numerous emails on an individual basis.
  • Better customer service: Since everyone in the company is alerted of what's being written on our forum, it's easy to spot a high-priority issue, delegate to the person in charge, resolve it, and respond as soon as possible.
