Traditional email clients have a lot of features, but they still aren't enough for most growing teams. Buying additional tools as support needs grow is also not cost-effective. Such a decision can quickly lead to budget overruns.
It would be more reasonable to select a complex tool with advanced functionality. Focus on your business development plan and choose a tool for high-quality customer support that will suit your company now and in the future.
