Geekbot Reviews & Product Details

Simple and effective tool for asynchronous standup. It gets the job done without slowing you down Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Geekbot dashboard is extremely sluggish when my team uses it for standup around 9 PST. The page can take 30s to load, and the slack bot often takes minutes to respond. Seems like there are some architectural/scaling optimizations to be had.

I have to log in every day I use the dashboard; there is no 'remember me" that lasts longer

The formatting from slack to the geekbot website is weird, and my output is often changed inexplicably.

The URL for my dashboard keeps changing, so I have to edit my bookmark regularly

Overall a lack of polish leads for a less favorable user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot has been a wonderful addition to our daily scrum meetings! As a Scrum Master, I’ve noticed that engagement with my devs has been up and they enjoy using it as well. Customer Service always super helpful! Great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really dont have any dislikes, but the pricing could be creaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot makes running asynchronous remote stand ups easy and effective. We are a remote company and have tried many forms of standups (zoom calls, slack messages, etc), but Geekbot has been the most flexible and enjoyable solution. It works great across time zones and the randomized question feature helps with building culture with fun questions. It also has solid reporting so I can see when people fill out their standup as a manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it showed me who didn't fill out standup. Also wish it had more trends reporting. I've had some trouble with the auto-send when slack becomes active feature too, as people have reported it sending on an hour delay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot is integrated into Slack - where we're already doing most of our communication style work. It fits naturally into the daily workflow. It's also great about ensuring that conversations that spawn from a standup report get attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are ongoing quirks and bugs that you agree to live with. I'd love it if they fixed some unexpected behavior I've seen when folks across different time zones are involved in a standup. For example, setting my OOO dates never works quite correctly because I'm on the East Coast US and the person who set the standup up is on the West Coast US.

We use Geekbot for our end of day updates. I really like that you can structure the questions that are asked but still put some flair into the process to make it fun for the people on the team. I also like that you can easily update your answers after and it gets reflected. The updates are posted to multiple channels for different audiences. It solves a lot of logistical issues for us!

It does get a bit buggy sometimes and either doesn't pick up your answer or doesn't ask you to give your update at the right time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot has been a great help in keeping our fully remote team informed async. It's helpful for things like end-of-day notes and team health surveys (how we feel about certain aspects of our team). It integrates well with slack and sends daily reminders so we can stay on top of what each other is doing, any blockers, and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be glitchy at times, but Geekbot's support is generally quick to respond. Sometimes the glitches are out of their control due to slack making updates, but overall I haven't experienced too many issues with it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it gives the opportunity for all of us on our totally remote team to get to showcase and learn about each other's personalities through the interesting prompts! I also like that I might get a new question each day and that is exciting to look forward to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it would note my own personal preferences for time to have messages delivered even when a new message is added. So if my regular daily stand up I have scheduled to always arrive at 8.15, newly added ones should also follow that same rule instead of me having to manually change it.

It makes it simple and quick to create and run asynchronous daily standups, provide company-wide transparency into the inner workings of any team and track progress over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way it's implemented in Slack is that it pretends to post on behalf of the users, but since it's the one actually posting, responses to these posts, both textual and emoji, are often missed by the original poster. Threaded responses are the exception, since Geekbot adds its own response flagging the original poster, but that's clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I loved using Geekbot to report on daily KPIs with my team. It automated the whole process, which was incredibly helpful as a busy Marketing Director. We also used Geekbot together as a team for daily standups to share our personal wins, priorities, and anything we needed assistance with. Highly recommend Geekbot.

Nothing! Honestly, I really loved it. We just switched to ClickUp as a company (from using Slack & Asana). I'd love to see an easy integration with Geekbot to be able to setup those daily prompts again. That may be a feature I'm just not aware of as I'm still learning ClickUp.

Improved team interaction and bonding

Automated monthly reflection surveys

Easy tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The login process every single time

Haven't been able to find a workaround to connect 2 different reports. Example: We have a team stand-up on Monday and Friday to report goals and progress for the week. These are 2 separate weekly standups with different questions so they don't actually speak to each other. Would be great if Friday's stand up could reference back to Monday's, rather than the last reported (in this case, the previous Friday's standup). Maybe there is a workaround that I haven't yet discovered... either way, there's confusion around this.
