What do you like best about Geekbot?

I absolutely love Geekbot! It has made my passdowns so much easier. I love how it generates the questions that I need to passdown to my fellow colleagues to run their next shift! I would highly recommend this to anyone needing to send in a checklist for the day on what worked and what did not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

I dislike that I can not add questions unless I create or generate it in the actual bot when I am writing in my answers to the Geekbot questionaire at the end of the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Geekbot solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving my daily reports and passdowns in a great order. Normally I would have to add my plan and a daily recap at the end of the day and it takes up so much time because I still need to get my warehouse floor cleaned and in order to set upthe next team for success. Anyone can refer to the geekbot to plan out their day and also end of day conclusions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Geekbot solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were spending 30 minutes daily for standup meeting just to check what team has been upto. But with this we are now having standup in async and it takes only 2-3 minutes to read all the updates. And our 30 minutes meeting we use to discuss the bottlenecks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, we were struggling to work as a remote team, but Geekbot saved the team spirit. It’s very simple to set up and use, thanks to its customizable features. It allows our team to keep track of what everyone is working on on a daily basis. Also very useful when we run Scrum, Agile methodologies for our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

I can create firm surveys, send them out in the channel of my choosing, add participants, and then track who's completed the survey and what the winning responses are. I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

It appears that you have to do most of the creating on a web page rather than directly in Slack, and then Geekbot will start sending Slack messages. I would prefer a central location for creating my surveys but this works just fine too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Geekbot solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am creating firm surveys, keeping track of responses, checking in on the team, gathering feedback, and teaching team members how to use the out of office feature, so we know when everyone is in or out of the office or working from home! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

Our team uses Geekbot daily to improve team collaboration and productivity. We have been using Geekbot for a few months now, and I can share with you what we like about it:

1) It's straightforward to use with a web interface. The interface is intuitive, and there are no complications in setting up standups or managing them. I have tried a few other purely Slack-based tools (e.g. Simple Poll) but found them too complicated.

2) It integrates with Slack, a messaging app that our team uses for internal communication and collaboration on projects within the company. This allows us to integrate standups easily into our daily workflow and start straight away without any difficulties or delays in integration - this has made our sync-up processes more efficient and productive!

3) It has analytics and reporting features that allow us to see how people interact with the bots and the surveys to optimize the effectiveness of the process.

4) The customer service provided by Geekbot is also excellent - they were prompt and helpful in responding whenever I had any questions or issues. They responded very quickly every time I reached out for help until the problem was resolved!

So far, we're quite happy. If there are any updates on the app, I will update my review accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

We really like the features and flow of Geekbot overall, but there are a few things that could be improved:

1) Firstly, we can't nudge participants of anonymous surveys to complete the survey. We have a low anonymous survey participation rate because there's no nudge for people to complete them once we've sent off the survey, so it's difficult to gather all responses. Can Geekbot team consider adding this feature?

2) Secondly, Geekbot can be expensive for large teams because they charge per user, not a flat fee per month. For instance, if we have multiple interns or temp users at any given time (we currently have 23), then we're paying a lot more than a team of <10 (which is free). It would be helpful if Geekbot offered a pricing plan where there's a cap on how much companies paid beyond a certain point, just like the pricing structure of Simple Poll.

However, these are minor issues. I really appreciate all the work that they do, and I think that what they're doing is really great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Geekbot solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Geekbot to do daily standup updates. The main problem to be solved here is that standups are complicated to organised as our team are working remote around the world (across 5 different timezones).

I can share some of the benefits we've seen. Geekbot has helped us in several ways. For example, when we use it, our team can work together better because they can see each other's progress and collaborate on projects asynchronously. We also appreciate how easy it is for everyone on the team to participate in standups because it’s so quick and simple with Geekbot. That means more participation from people who would otherwise be too busy working or working from different locations. Overall, the teams have collaborated better, and we can get the work done more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
