Geekbot Reviews & Product Details - Page 16

It promptly messages me for the daily sprint update at the specified time. Allows to set the what questions to ask. Customer support on their website is pretty responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application sometimes lags a lot and delays by minutes. There is no quick support from the chat interface via slack. You have to go to their site, but chat is responsive. It does not provide a helpful UX on how to re-edit messages. It does not seem to support sending GIFs either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot is a very straightforward and useful tool that allows team members to better communicate their updates in a transparent channel via slack. What is sometimes lost in stand-ups (especially for smaller teams) is someone to write everything down that was part of the updates. Having this bot removes that need and puts the onus on every team member. You can do a stand-up and have everyone give their update after the fact, or you can just do the stand-up in slack only. But either way, it helps every team member be accountable and keep track of their updates, and avoids the time-suck of one person having to be a notetaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One dislike is the constant reminders from the geekbot to send in your stand-up update (which isn't necessarily a bad thing and can be configured). Only other dislike (and this is more of a problem with people/process) is that some team members may not thoroughly read other team member's updates in a slack channel - which could cause some communication gaps. That's why we like to do both the in person stand-up and use geekbot in addition to that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to use overall. Makes it quicker to be able to do things and work faster at work. Before geekbot I wasn't able to really get a lot of things done as far as what it actually helps with, now because of how easy it all it is, i'm able to get a lot of work done more so than in other days.

I dislike that I haven't yet been able to learn everything there us to know about it. Don;t have much training and the help portion of the bot isn't very helpful. There also isn't really a lot i know about the program yet. Mainly because im not an admin so I can only use certain parts of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the customizable nature of this bot, and that it uses casual, fun language. We changed it from asking like four questions every day (of every employee) to just one question: "What would you like the team to know today?" That seemed to work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't love the reminders to post a status- they are a little annoying and I can't figure out a way to stop them. Also, sometimes I would try to skip the update for the day, and it would actually have my update say "Skip" because I didn't use the correct language to skip it. It requires very specific commands to work properly, which you have to get used to using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy set up, and our teams loves it. It makes staying on top of development, and blockers super simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that we have found about Geekbot to dislike so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy updates for the rest of the team but not much else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't see long-term value for employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to set-up, very easy to use. Great way to keep the team in the loop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is a little confusing in places -- but it has gotten much better over the past several months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very simple to set up and use. Managing questions and automated follow up for internal discussions is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult to get reminders dismissed. I also wish there were more pre set questions I could select before sending updates to the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot gave us an easy system for submitting weekly updates on what each person of the team was working on. There were numerous reminders sent through Slack, which was helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team didn't use it. It felt elementary and somewhat tedious. They preferred to give verbal updates in weekly staff meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that there's a written record of what we've accomplished, and that it doesn't require a physical meeting to get a basic update on what the team is doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The notifications can't be delayed or edited easily for vacation days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
