Our remote team has been using Geekbot for a few months now, which has completely changed how we approach daily check-ins. With its customizable questions and automated scheduling, we're able to get everyone's updates without interrupting their workflow. It's also helped us keep everyone on the same page and improve our overall productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can create task reminders for which individual teams can be sent reminders for their accountability for the work allocated and also the blockers for the team which they need to support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that it's an easy way to share updates with a team, love that I get reminded to share my updates instead of having to add to my to do list or remember yet another thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find the actual managing of the Geekbot to be not so user friendly, it can be glitchy at times and will often times not show up when it says it will, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The easiness of using their service. In our team we use Geekbot for daily standup, and I am a person in charge to change questions and share inspirational quotes.
The set up itself, especially integration with Slack was extremely easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ONLY downside of Geekbot so far is the difficulty in logging in to dashboard from mobile. Somehow from the mobile Slack app, Geekbot does not take me to a valid login anywhere - it may be helpful to have a clear indicator if this is possible or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Set it and forget it, it doesn't take much to set up and its a great way to keep in contact with the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I cant think of any, its an easy set up and took no time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Every morning, everyone at my workplace gets a reminder to publish my daily stand-up in Slack by Geekbot. This helps me and everyone else keep track of their duties and the duties of their team members. It's a great tool and doesn't require the installation of any other software. Integrating it with Slack makes it easier to post if I'm traveling. Another cool feature is that updating out of office on Geekbot lets everyone know that I'm on leave, preventing unwanted calls and texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some accounts in my team are not receiving the daily stand-up prompts. That is creating a lot of confusion, and we've had to set up the entire system once again for them. The prompts just stopped randomly. If this issue gets rectified, Geekbot will be very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While I do not use Geekbot's complete feature set, I love the automated daily standup.
Using Geekbot to do asynchronous daily standups helps our team know what everyone is doing and helps me organize my days by filling out my standup survey.
It's a simple and efficient tool that saves me precious time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wouldn't mind having a couple of additional Slack messages or other ways to discover Geekbot's other features. I just found out it had more to offer than daily standup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Geekbot is a member of our team! Geekot keeps us checked in, connected, and in communication. It fulfills some of what an admin might do for our team! Geekbot seamlessly integrates with Slack which helps us to automate our days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is minor - but, I do wish there were more flexibility when opting to randomize questions. It seems sometimes some questions are repeated before new ones get shuffled into the randomization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to configure, edit, and adapt. We use it for multiple teams that post on different channels, and it's very easy to set up every time.
We've been using it for 4 years or so now and we never looked elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If folks have multiple reports/standups they need to do for different teams/projects, sometimes it can be confusing which one to pick, or orders get mixed if not answered to promptly. But it does become a training matter at some point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The configuability of the slack integration allows all of the teams that I work on and with to communicate status quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The bot's output in Slack can be a bit large and other messages happening around checkin time can get lost in the influx of large messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am a team lead in Docyt, and I have used Geekbot to have a standup meeting asynchronously.
We are a distributed team, and it works well for such purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes Geekbot is delayed for about 1~10 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
