Geekbot Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

So far our team is only using Geekbot to handle Standup, but it is amazing. There is not a single thing missing there. A most appreciated feature is that it handles timezones. Our company works with people from Europe, the US, South America and New Zealand without this, standup would be a mess. Also love that people can pick and choose the best time for them to fill their standup, that's especially practical for contractors that have variable hours.

It would be amazing if the whole setting up of standups could be done directly in slack, but honestly I don't see anything I don't like about Geekbot so far.

Highly appreciated your review on Geekbot and thanks for all the love Marie :)

* Easy to setup standup* Easy to customize different questions* Ability to set preferences as to when you get notified* Ability for standup to get broadcasted in slack channel

* Sometimes the software is a little buggy (geekbot will forget to notify me, sometimes responses do not go through)* Ability to ask random question is there, but in order for me to manually add it to our existing standup, I had to manually add 150 questions to our standup, not fun hehe.

What we really liked about Geekbot is that it is simple and easy to set up and use. Geekbot gives us a snapshot of what the whole team is working on each day. This helps managers keep track of deliverables, reduces the formation of silos in the team as well as fosters an environment of support and learning as the app enable team members to flag obstacles earlier and receive the help they need. In terms of task management, the app has helped managers track deliverables across the team. It has also helped increase ownership, consciousness and accountability among individual team members for planning and executing their daily tasks, especially as the team is now fully remote.

Customisable templates is an area where Geekbot could improve - they just don't have as many templates as their competitors do. I would like to see more templates around process like employee onboarding, which Standuply offers.

Thanks for mentioning both the pros and the cons of Geekbot, George. We are constantly want to increase and add new templates, so hopefully you will get to see more soon :)

Very convenient tool to synchronize a remote team. We use it as a text daily standup as well as for being informed about overall team health. So it's a very big friend for managers and I can recommend it for any remote team

Seriously, we're fully satisfied. Don't know what to say about cons

Glad Geekbot is a good fit for your remote team, Yuriy! Thanks for your kind words :)

Easy to configure our group, and we loved a few options: 1) Managing different timezones 2) Customizing the messaging for the standup to fit our culture

Nothing really. We tried several Slack standup integrations and this was the only one our team liked and didn't find annoying. :)

Thanks for your kind words,Porter! Glad Geekbot is helping your team sync and maintain your company's culture. :)
