Geekbot Reviews & Product Details

We were looking for a lightweight solution to collect feedback and reviews in a native tool we were already using. Geekbot's integration with Slack was perfect for our team and made getting everyone to use it, easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would love to be able to call specific bots whenever we wanted so we could provide feedback anytime, instead of just during the scheduled Geekbot times/channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot has become an essential tool for several of my agile team's daily standup reports. Its intuitive features and seamless Slack integration have significantly improved our communication and productivity.

I can easily schedule requests to individual members or entire channels, ensuring a stress-free user experience without overwhelming notifications. Additionally, the ability to accommodate multiple time zones allows team members from around the world to participate at their convenience, promoting inclusivity and collaboration.

By delivering standup reports to the client channel, transparency is increased, and team members can stay up-to-date with each other's progress, goals, and challenges. Moreover, the instant comment notifications ensure that no feedback or discussions go unnoticed, facilitating timely responses and fostering a sense of engagement within the team.

Geekbot's user-friendly setup and customization options make it accessible to all team members. From configuring standup questions to easily putting the bot on hold or running it only on specific days, the interface caters to diverse preferences and schedules, further enhancing the flexibility and convenience of its usage.

In conclusion, Geekbot has simplified our standup process, saving time and promoting effective collaboration. Its intuitive features, including flexible scheduling, enhanced visibility, and easy setup, make it an invaluable asset for any agile team. I highly recommend Geekbot!

Every now if I have too many standups going around the same time period, it tends to pause one unencessarily. I think it's trying to avoid too many open stands at the same time, which is nice, but every now and then I do miss one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot has replaced our daily standup meetings. It has served as an incredible measurement of team capacity, allowed us to celebrate wins well, and enabled us to check on the progress of projects authentically, all WITHOUT meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any text-based platform, you don't get face-to-face interaction like a traditional meeting or standup. This can sometimes be difficult as only so much can be conveyed with words. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a marketing professional, I value seamless, transparent communication. Geekbot delivers just that. Monday standups have never been smoother; we all get a glimpse of the team’s priorities and discuss any possible issues. But what I love most is our “Friday Kudos”. It’s a simple yet powerful way to acknowledge the hard work of our team members. It ends our week on a positive note and encourages everyone to strive harder.

- Saving tons of time due to easy automation.

- Great for async teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* The website where I configure the stand ups is usually quite slow.

* When multiple standups accumulate in Slack it's not so clear which one is the latest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot is an excellent way for employees to know what each other is doing daily without micromanaging. It is a polite way to nudge others for assistance while encouraging them with your feats daily. Amperon used Geekbot pre-pandemic, but with the new remote world, I have recommended it to numerous colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It occasionally breaks or gets confused when you are traveling between time zones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keeps the whole team aligned and up to date, no matter the time zone. Really easy to set up and has a bunch of useful features like custom questions and streaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly can't think of anything I/we don't like - it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Geekbot to stay connected with my team asynchronously, both on the work and personal fronts. I also use it to check in with myself at the end of the day, to recognize what I have accomplished, as well as what I plan on doing the next day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some tips that I wouldn't have known unless a teammate told me about them (like entering a hyphen to skip a question), so it'd be nice to be able to opt into automated tips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Geekbot for our daily standups. Every team member gets a reminder and the same three questions at the end of the day. The standups are automatically shared in a channel for the rest of the team to see. We have been using Geekbot this way for years and it works exceptionally well.

We have never had any issues with Geekbot. It has always worked. I just wish I had found it sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use geekbot quite extensively, first to replace the in-preson standup meetings that Scrum masters so enjoy, then to increase visibility for everyone in the company. For this, we use the traditional standup format, sending the answers to team-based channels, using these three questions:

What have you accomplished / focused on since [last checkin

].

Share something that you've learned/experienced/enjoyed outside of work.

What is your focus for today/this week.

To foster connection, the middle question is key. It allows people to share anything they want, and the answers very often get expanded with photos and other comments in subsequent threads. The question is optional, and yet, it's the one that gets answered with most details. A win for team-cohesion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If anything, we are probably underutilizing the tool (and the statistics). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
