Geekbot Reviews - Page 4

I love how I was able to cut my performance meeting time to virtually nothing! Now, I ask my team (via slack) about what they are working on and how they are performing. This allows me to keep tabs on each of my employees and help where needed.

It's a little simple, and I'm using it to allow employees to self-critique.

Saving time for what really matters the most is the real reason behind using Geekbot :) Thanks for your awesome feedback!

It has two main benefits. First, I can plan my day and establish it with everybody, so that everybody knows what I'm working on. Second, I can see everybody's current task, and resolve any problems.

It would be great if I can sort my done tasks on slack.

Geekbot was a very good tool to help the team to gather and share their work with others without having to pause their days for a meeting. This tool helps greatly with documentation and task tracking as well. I would continue to use Geekbot

The ability to only add it to a Team channel and not an actual group.

Our team is only using Geekbot for Daily Standup, and it's effectively helping us to know the workflow.

So far everything looks good..No such points as of now

Our team of 4 enjoy using Geekbot for asynchronous sprint stand-ups and retrospects. The Geekbot dashboard makes it easy to customize the questions and schedules for both types of asynchronous meetings. Geekbot integrates with Slack making it easy to track and document meeting responses. It can be configured to send reminders to team members according to a customized schedule. Along with being able to set a customized schedule, it’s always an option to use a Geekbot slack command to do an impromptu record. All these features make communicating as a team, spread across several time zones, convenient.

We haven't found anything to date that we would change about Geekbot.

Highly appreciated the love you are showing to Geekbot Sierra, really thankful :)

We have been doing our standups with Geekbot and it has been super helpful in getting us to work more asynchronously. Although I didn't dig too deep into the dashboard, having the insights will be great to see how it is working for our team.

I did have a few issues with the app disconnecting from Slack and not loading again. I had to try multiple times until it finally reconnected.

Thanks for letting us know Camila, though please feel free to open a ticket to our support if you experience this again. We will be more than happy to assist on this :)

Easy to integrate with slack Easy wizard to create daily standup survey Convenient daily and usage reports

Some functionality have to be expanded. Right now it's young product

Highly appreciated Lev, thanks for using Geekbot within your team and feel free to reach out any time with a suggestion you wish Geekbot had! It's always nice to provide some feedback to the Product team :)

It's customizable, the dashboard, and the history are great!

Nothing at all, they are doing a great job with the bot, even including new features (the lab is awesome)

Thanks a lot Fernando :)

Easy to setup Easy to get everyone to user Nice overview of peoples daily tasks Doesn't disturb people unnecessarily

Our team works in regions with 2 different weekends. so would be nice if you could set a personal weekend e.g Friday, Saturday for Dubai and Saturday, Sunday for Europe.

Thanks for sharing both the good and where we need to improve more!

The Geekbot has a lot of features that make your teamwork more easier and productive. Our department uses a stand-up functionality every weekday

when I need to edit my report, then I want to have advanced formatting support, because for now links, mentions or smiles cannot be used after report updating

Thanks for your feedback Damir :) Let me just mention that you can edit your replies to Geekbot one by one, instead of using the modal. This way you will have formatting etc. Feel free to reach out to our support if you need further clarifications!

It streamlines the process, allowing for quick identification of any roadblocks and updates on team activities. Also the scheduling feature smartly adjusts to each participant's local time zone

I did not find any particular con as it fits perfectly with our organization

How it fits around my day and my needs in a very convenient way. You can use it to ask the core questions that are important to your company when the users are ready to answer it. They don't have to stop what they are doing to attend an hour long meeting where they speak for 2 minutes about what they have done.

I did not like the fact that you couldn't change the geekboto logo, we would have liked to customise it with our own mascot or logo.

Glad we're helping your team. Thank you very much for the review!

The startup that I am a part of had a hard time keeping daily standup meetings short. Geekbot offered a great way to keep each other updated with what we were working on and blockers in an asynchronous way.

Finding the management page can be a little tricky.

Highly customize-able. Great for rapidly evolving workflows!

Honestly? Geekbot is pretty great... We're kinda inspired to make our bot just as useful :)

Appreciate your kind words!

Multiple teams in a single Slack channel

Cost. That is kind of a cop-out since I know everyone wants free products. I see no downside yet.

Thanks for your feedback John, we do offer a 50% discount on all educational accounts, though we hope to further improve on that :)

Automatic. It takes care of sending the messages so that I can sleep.

No cons were added to this review

Happy we're helping your team and of course we're glad you can get your nights sleep :)

The ease of use and very specific use cases. It's a good too for standups and other kinds of progress updates. You get asked a series of questions and simply reply in Slack. This data is collected and posted elsewhere.

There wasn't any negative points that I discovered about my use of this tool

Thanks for the sharing your experience with Geekbot Sebastian, really appreciate the nice words :)

* Interface is really easy to use. * Onboarding/setup is fast and easy to follow. * It has a good monitoring and reporting interface.

* No free tier. * Constant reminder from geek bot can be annoying. * Sometimes updates are ignored on slack, but that an issue with the teamwork culture, not the UI.

Thanks for sharing your opinion on Geekbot, Luis :) We definitely take your words into careful consideration in order to improve further.

Geekbot is a very usefull app for slack! Its easy for our remote team to work remotely with this app, it has reminders, we can see whats going on it other áreas of the NGO, stay connected, it helps us get organiced. I highly recomend this app and our team in Chicas en Tecnologia is very happy to work with it.

Nothing, its very usefull and we haven t had any issue with it.

Always glad to hear that we help which are dedicating to good cause. Thanks so much for sharing this :)

Geekbot is extremely easy to set up, you can get from 0 to async stand up in about 10 minutes. The way that it goes about getting team members updates and then posts them is also very seamless and helps remote teams on different schedules stay up to date on what other team members are doing.

For what the software does the yearly rate seems a bit steep. I also wish there were more options with respect to triggering the stand up.

Thank you Jack for reviewing our service. :)

It's super easy to use and implement within your existing workflow (for slack)

It's either picky or non-transparent around implementing stand-up check-ins for a few people (using private messages/ groups instead of channels).

Really nice to hear your feedback on Geekbot, MacKenzie. Fingers crossed we will be able to address these soon!

i do not have to worry on having a very distributed team, each developer states his standup at his starting hours and i couldn't love more that we are very organized right now

it should have more options not just standup meetings but also stand down and weekly reports

Always nice to hear satisfaction and I want to let you know that we have added a lot of different templates in order to held more than standups (retrospectives, pizza toppings and more) Thanks for taking the time :)

The software is very easy to implement and use. It helps our team keep an overview what of everyone is working on on a day to day basis.

It would be nice if there was the option as administrator to set the participation days of each user individually, instead of them having to submit it via their personal preferences.

Appreciated for both the pros and the cons Martijn :) This is already in our Product backlog for further evaluation from the team here!
