"Unexpected benefits with this Bot."

5/5

What do you like best about Geekbot?

Super effortless to setup, you can get going in minutes. The web UI for report creation and management is nicely designed and very user friendly. The flexibility around where the reports go in slack and the associated permission is easily managed. Building out many reports is of varying team configurations with varying visibility through of the answers is also easy done, all the functionality is at your fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

Its difficult to fault this software. The only thing I would mention is that as far as I know a thread cant be created for individual answers in a report printed into slack, only for all report as a whole. It would be nice to contain threads per answer. This would be a "nice to have" but doesn't take away from the software benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Considering we had a partly dispersed team, the GeekBot Stand up ensured that everyone was still across what was going on in the company and who was doing what. The historical record was an unexpected benefit too, its easy to go back through a thread in slack and find discussions around any topic for clarification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A less intrusive team check-in for remote teams that's easy to use"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Geekbot?

The interface is incredibly easy to use and the onboarding/setup was super clean. I have used other players in the space like Standuply and felt somewhat overwhelmed with functionality. Geekbot has a far better UI/UX and reporting process. We have found our home with Geekbot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

That there is no free tier. We are a small team and many of their competitors have a free tier for small teams. It has gotta be tough competing with that, but they are definitely taking a step in the right direction with their simplicity and superior UX.

I do wish that you could default the manual "report" check-in functionality as we have a daily check-in and a bi-weekly retrospective. 99.9% of the time you are going to do the daily check-in manually by typing "report", but it has you select which of the 2 reports you want to report on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Geekbot:

Give it a try (using the trial), you will likely prefer it if you value UI/UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

More regular check-ins and stand-up meetings with employees on a remote team. Being on a remote team is quite lonely at times and having Geekbot be a non-committal daily check-in really helps us stay on the same page with our team.

The other reports are interesting and I'm excited to collect more datapoints over-time to get a nice gauge on how the team is feeling as a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
