Front has so many bells and whistles..

You spend countless hours just figuring out the platform. You pay unreasonably high subscription fees that keep changing randomly. For a company that prides itself on building long-lasting customer relationships, they provide a poor customer service.

"Nice full-featured inbox management tool - loaded with features!"

I like that Helpwise really combines the most important customer communication tools into one package. It really is a full-featured tool to compete with Front.

"Great product with amazing support"

Customer support team is super helpful and caring. They are great listeners. You share feedback and they take quick action on it. Never experienced such a great customer support from any product.

"Get Help for your Helpdesk with Helpwise"

It's easy to configure and takes just a few minutes to get my team up and running. I also like that their team always has improved on their features which makes the subscription worth every penny spent.

Ever feel like big software companies don't care about their users?

You don't want provide a bad customer experience, nor do you want your teams to be overburdened with work. But choosing the wrong software ends up hurting your process more than it helps.

Need to be prepared to pay for wacky price changes to their Front subscription plan

“Been with them for about four years and they decide that they're going to up the price 40%? Just grandfather the plan! Don't know where they got "custom plan" from since we've just been buying the app normally. This kind of nasty pricing change doesn't bode well for an ongoing relationship with the company.”

Deal with incredibly poor service standards

“The service is incredibly distasteful, and the sales process lacks a transparent investment into understanding customer needs and how to best approach operational complexities. Our team reached out several times to review the system again after a bad experience and received no response or follow-up.”

Spend more time fussing with the tool than getting customer queries resolved

“Keeping up to date with how notifications occur in Front is more challenging than typical email providers. I have noticed a delay (0.5-1.5 hrs) in when someone tags me in something and when it actually appears in my view.”
