What do you like best about Geekbot?

Automated messages! I don't have time to message each staff member individually to check in every day, but I can automate & send. I can also send out policy reminders & get my team's commitment to those policies daily! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

I wish it was a bit more customizable and that the interface was a bit more user friendly. It is really simple to get started, and is not overly difficult to use, but I would LOVE some more options for automated task types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Geekbot is allowing for more interaction between myself & my team, as well as more interaction between different departments. It has been an excellent culture building tool due to daily check in questions & responses being posted in our general slack channel. It facilitates great connection without being face to face!

What do you like best about Geekbot?

I love using Geekbot to host my team's daily stand-ups. It fosters great communication within my team, helps me have a pulse on what is going on, and creates a fun atmosphere with emojis--increasing engagement from my team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

I would say the least effective about this software is the reporting features. It doesn't capture the true mood of the team (with their newly released mood report), and I can't report on stuck items. I think with more work, the reporting tools can be really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easier stand-ups! Instead of meetings, I have an effective pulse on what each of my team members are doing, what they are working on, and where they are stuck. Geekbot makes this so easy and fun, which is great for engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

Geekbot can facilitate daily standup meetings by asking team members for their updates and tasks. This can help teams stay organized and informed about each other's progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

While Geekbot allows for customization of questions and workflows, some users have found that it may not offer the same level of flexibility and customization as other dedicated tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

If you require advanced project planning features like Gantt charts, resource allocation, or complex task dependencies, Geekbot may not be the most suitable tool, as it focuses more on communication and daily updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

I love the customization capabilities for content, frequency, and timing of standups. I use 3 different Geekbot check-ins with my team to maintain workflow and keep us engaged with each other in a human way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

Geekbot started sending end-of-day reports to a channel that is visible by the whole team without warning and without me having turned on that function. It was an app update, as I learned from a later marketing email, but it caused confusion for me and the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Geekbot streamlines daily check-ins and weekly goal setting for my team. It allows us to connect with each other and identify any areas where support is needed, and opportunities for collaboration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

I love the following:

- The reminders on Slack

- The seamless and user-friendly interface and integration

- The prompts and the dashboard to make it seem interactive!

It's super simple, straightforward and a great way to get asynch teams to get engaged Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

- You cannot link it to Jira or to other platforms that will help the PM split out tasks

- It is hard to follow up on blockers and a way to help manage the team's tasks to set priorities

- It would be helpful to get the metrics board up and running

- As PMs, I would love the opportunity to do more than just have free-text responses that do not link or click on something further. Additionally, it is hard to track the past or how long something is taking for a team member Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps provide asynchronous standups for a team in differing time zones. It helps the PM keep track of all the people's tasks and ensure that we work to be agile everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

It's so amazing that Geekbot allows for multi-time zone settings so that each of my team members no matter where they are, are able to send updates on their time. Furthermore it is amazing that Geekbot allows for reminders and is automatically scheduled to run and the fact that all you need to do is chat back to it as if you're talking to a real person is amazing a super useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

I do wish that there were more customization options for teams such as allowing us to rename the posts so that it does not just say "Geekbot posted" but rather allow for some customization that alerts of who actually used the Geekbot to make a post. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Geekbot has been allowing my team to have a great stream of weekly updates which we struggled with in the beginning as we had very busy weeks and would often forget to post. But the Teams chat from Geekbot and the chat feature of it as well as the reminder that you can set allows for not needing to remember but also a reminder to do so every week!

What do you like best about Geekbot?

Geekbot is helping our cooperative to run in a hybrid way. We feel more connected since it shares with each others news, feelings, tasks, struggles and all these in a way that brings us closer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

I am impatiently waiting for some AI features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We run in a hybrid way without fixed working hours. The first task of each team member is to stand up. After that, we know that they are available, what are they busy with, how long they will be available. This allows us to create a business culture online, offline and hybrid.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

The ability to quickly setup recurring feedback forms for my team and organization in Slack so that we can track and monitor engagement with each aspect of our team(s). Not only do we have engagement opportunities for day-to-day, but also for meeting feedback, engagement surveys, daily task tracking, etc. The transparency and set-and-forget that GeekBot enables is very helpful to our org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

I think pricing wise it's more expensive than it's value enables, but for us it was this or spending more than figuring out custom solutions. We went this route, and try to run everything we can through GeekBot - sometimes it works well, and other times we learn and improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Day-to-day engagement prompting and metrics tracking is the most significant use case at our organization. We also integrate GeekBot when we can use Slack workflows at our org for a workflow/process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

We wanted to collect feedback and do weekly check-ins for our team without signing them up for another tool. Once a week we ask for feedback and once a week we get 1:1 feedback for managers from their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 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.

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

Team syncs for folks working in several very different time zones, particularly on days when we are heads down, trying to focus, and a live meeting is just a bit of an inconvenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
