Geekbot Reviews - Page 3

It is really easy to use and helps keeping our team on the same page with our daily standups.

I cannot list anything negative. It is really simple and straight-forward for our team.

Thanks a ton Karen, for your lovely feedback about Geekbot :) Hope that we will continue to help you and your team get synced up daily!

It's easy to use, good to keep up with your team. fun little tool to keep up to date with everything

people still need to be prompted to fill these out. automation can only get you so far

I can schedule different stand up workflows per day and receive analytics.

Hard to access from Slack, because I have to go to the Geekbot website to configure it.

Geekbot is a powerful standup management tool that helps teams stay organized and on track. I have been using Geekbot for the past six months and have been extremely impressed with its features and functionality.

I found most helpful is the ability to add tasks. The tool also allows for easy communication and collaboration within the team, also has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to navigate and find the information I need.

We have recently adopted agile ways of working at Dr Martens. We are a global company and our product team works across four different time zones (UK, US, India, Bulgaria). We were finding the time difference challenging, and decided to trial Geekbot for our daily stand-ups. What we like about Geekbot is the ability to tailor the questions to our team, choose what time to automate the questions being sent out, and being able to link the responses to our Teams channel. Geekbot has turned out to be a valuable tool for us in being able to keep track of what all team members are working on throughout the day and where they have any questions or blockers. We intend on continuing with Geekbot once our trial period ends

Have to set the timer to 1/2 hour before the meeting time otherwise does not allow enough response time before the meeting

- Ease of use - Nice UI - Easy to setup and administrate

No ability to make engagement summary timezone-based

Thanks for the feedback on the both the pros and the cons your experienced withh Geekbot Maksim :) Fingers crossed we will be able to provide what you mentioned soon!

Increases our team’s engagement A good overview of people’s daily activities. It allows you to keep track of tasks.

It’s difficult to find any cons when it’s that user friendly and customizable.

Thanks a lot for your kind words on Geekbot, Arzu :)

Task management. it's very easy to set up. We use the standups for our daily task managing.

I'd like to set different time/question choices in the same standup for different team members if possible.

Thanks for the feedback Vivian, though, what you asked for in Cons is totally doable and if you don't know how to set it, feel free to reach to us :)

Fair pricingEasy to set upAwesome customer service for all tiers

Love it all so far - can't find the disadvantages

It's timely reminder helped me to get timely report of my team mates work progress. Daily reminder for their on going work progress, hurdles they are facing. Set up daily meeting reminders and calendar events.

Sometimes it feels like talking to a bot. It will be nice if we have some more AI feature in this.

We always try to make the feeling of using Geekbot better, so thanks for sharing this Deepak :)

Customizable - able to set up days and times that meet the projects demands. Engaging - private fun messages to motivate use. Increases Accountability and Transparency - having a bot send out messages helps separate Scrum Master from becoming Scrum Overlord. Efficient and concise - avoids the quick stand-up meetings that turn into long complex code reviews or water cool chats about the weekend.

No complaints. Works as advertised and the webhooks/API allow for scraping data to where we want to keep our records.

Much appreciated your kind words :) Hope you still using Geekbot for your everyday communication!

We were looking for a tool for our team to help us keep each other updated without the need for a meeting. We value the asynchronous way of working very much. In my role at another company, I have already come across Geekbot as a kind of recognition bot. So we gave it a try here, too, and were quickly thrilled. The configuration, set-up and customisation process was super easy and straightforward. Through a weekly message in Slack, we can now asynchronously recognise other team members, celebrate community wins and share a general status update. Since we have a free Slack plan, it's even nicer to have the Geekbot dashboard with all the historical data.

If I could wish just one thing, it would be some kind of input validation or more input options. For example, to define number intervals and ease quantitative mood checks (e.g. 1-10 scale, 1-5 stars,..) However, since this is indirectly possible in other ways, there is no point penalty for this 😉

Highly appreciated the time you took to drop your thoughts on Geekbot, Felix :) We plan to improve in many aspects and keep being a service that helps team communication!

Ease of using the product, don't have to chase team members

Can be pesky, several reminders daily, works for some, should be able to have a trcak feature based on employee/team member role

Geekbot really helped information flow between our US and India teams. It was originally hard for us to keep track of what everyone else was doing, and there was no convenient time to have a scrum because of the 12 hour time difference. After using geekbot, people were able to jump in and help others because they knew what they were working on. It also helped increase the accountability on the team by having a team wide commitment to what everyone was working on.

I wish there was integration with Jira - that way, you can easily see the tickets others are working on without having to search them yourself. I've been told this integration is coming, though!

Truly appreciate your kind words. We're really happy Geekbot is a great solution for your team and promise we will integrate with Jira shortly!

Geekbot has helped my team become more communicative and collaborate as well. They have kept in better touch with me and GeekBot has saved me time by generating automatic check-in's for my clients.

I would like to see a feature with the Slack integration that allows check-in responses to be delivered right back to the DM with my clients rather than another channel in Slack. This is a bit clunky for me and hard to keep track of responses in two different chat threads. It's hard for my clients too.

Ability to customise it to suit my business needs

Cost of it but i do believe the product is well made so i would not fault the payment.

Thanks for pointing both the pros and the cons you spot through your interaction with Geekbot, Kiran :) Really appreciated and we will definitely take them into consideration!

It is well integrated into Slack and integrates well with our asnyc communication workflow

It's a simple software, there's not much you can't like.

Thanks so much :)

Easy to use and implent. The entire team was able to pick it up very fast.

Login every time you want to use it takes some time.

Integration with Slack is incredibly useful and simple. Keeps myself as well as my team up to date with progress.

If I forget to post a response for a check-in and decide to do that the next day before the check-in time, I will not be prompted for a response. Geekbot should ask for a response exactly as scheduled and should not depend on whether you've given a response that day or not.

Thanks for taking the time to provide us with some feedback on Geekbot :) If you are referring to reminders for your standup, then you can easily set them up from your dashboard under the My Preferences section inside the standup of your choice. Feel free to reach out in order further understand the case here and hopefully we can resolve this asap!

It is very easy to connect this tool to Slack and add/remove our team members as necessary. We use this tool for our weekly standups channel, and it works perfectly. It's intuitive and easy to use.

Overall, we love the tool and we have no complaints.

I like the web interface to manage the standups. I also like the dead simple integration with Slack and all of the slack commands you can use to pause standup updates (like if you're on vacation), and to start new standup reports. I like that Geekbot does everything we need it to do without additional complexity and without being intrusive.

It costs money, but ultimately what it offers makes it worth it. I've tried other hacky solutions and they just aren't worth the headache.

Thanks so much Seth! Really appreciated the value you put on Geekbot and from our side I can ensure you that we will continue to improve in order to provide to our customers the best overall experience :)

Geekbot is by far the best Daily Standup app for slack! I'm attending college and have a Software Engineering group project. Our group needed a Daily Standup slack bot to make our Standups easier and we had tried two others before with bad luck. Standup the customer support gave us so many problems so we switched to Geekbot and we could not be happier!! Geekbot has been excellent and I've recommended it to other teams at school who have equally loved it. I highly recommend it!!

There is nothing to complain about, we have had nothing but a pleasant experience with Geekbot so far.

Thanks for the awesome review!

It's an easy way to handle daily standups when doing scrum. Lets everyone know what they're working on for keeping a record on tasks. It's really easy to use, convenient and can be customized to your needs (for example, pausing the standup when going on vacation or something similar).

The fact it's a bot makes it easier to ignore what other people are doing, instead of having to hear them when doing a daily standup in person. It's easy to disable the standup and sometimes you may be bothered by having to remember to set off the standup for a couple of days.

Appreciated your time to make us better Enrique :)
