What do you like best about Geekbot?

Geekbot has replaced our daily standup meetings. It has served as an incredible measurement of team capacity, allowed us to celebrate wins well, and enabled us to check on the progress of projects authentically, all WITHOUT meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

As with any text-based platform, you don't get face-to-face interaction like a traditional meeting or standup. This can sometimes be difficult as only so much can be conveyed with words. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Geekbot eliminates daily standup meetings and helps us track our weekly big wins. It's fantastic that everything is documented and can be put into a chart if the question is phrased properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

As a marketing professional, I value seamless, transparent communication. Geekbot delivers just that. Monday standups have never been smoother; we all get a glimpse of the team’s priorities and discuss any possible issues. But what I love most is our “Friday Kudos”. It’s a simple yet powerful way to acknowledge the hard work of our team members. It ends our week on a positive note and encourages everyone to strive harder.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

Geekbot is an excellent way for employees to know what each other is doing daily without micromanaging. It is a polite way to nudge others for assistance while encouraging them with your feats daily. Amperon used Geekbot pre-pandemic, but with the new remote world, I have recommended it to numerous colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

It occasionally breaks or gets confused when you are traveling between time zones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Geekbot?

Keeps the whole team aligned and up to date, no matter the time zone. Really easy to set up and has a bunch of useful features like custom questions and streaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly can't think of anything I/we don't like - it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a remote team we are often online at different times, so having Geekbot means we can provide daily updates to the rest of the team in a consistent and organised way. It has also replaced our morning standup, meaning more time for deep work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

I use Geekbot to stay connected with my team asynchronously, both on the work and personal fronts. I also use it to check in with myself at the end of the day, to recognize what I have accomplished, as well as what I plan on doing the next day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

There are some tips that I wouldn't have known unless a teammate told me about them (like entering a hyphen to skip a question), so it'd be nice to be able to opt into automated tips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Maintaining connections with a globally distributed team can be challenging, and Geekbot helps ease this challenge. When I use Geekbot for myself personally, it helps me recognize my wins and also helps me plan for the upcoming days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

We use Geekbot for our daily standups. Every team member gets a reminder and the same three questions at the end of the day. The standups are automatically shared in a channel for the rest of the team to see. We have been using Geekbot this way for years and it works exceptionally well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

We have never had any issues with Geekbot. It has always worked. I just wish I had found it sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

We use geekbot quite extensively, first to replace the in-preson standup meetings that Scrum masters so enjoy, then to increase visibility for everyone in the company. For this, we use the traditional standup format, sending the answers to team-based channels, using these three questions:

What have you accomplished / focused on since [last checkin

].

Share something that you've learned/experienced/enjoyed outside of work.

What is your focus for today/this week.

To foster connection, the middle question is key. It allows people to share anything they want, and the answers very often get expanded with photos and other comments in subsequent threads. The question is optional, and yet, it's the one that gets answered with most details. A win for team-cohesion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

If anything, we are probably underutilizing the tool (and the statistics). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows us to have asyncrhonous regular checkins across timezones. Everyone can do their daily/weekly update when they start their day, independent of time zones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

Geekbot allows my team to list their blockers and anything else to add before we join our synchronous standup. This allows us to run through everyone's status efficiently during our morning meeting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
