Our remote team has been using Geekbot for a few months now, which has completely changed how we approach daily check-ins.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

It makes it easy to share team wide updates in Slack without needing to set another reminder for yourself to check in or share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

Daily updates for the team - we've impletemented a questionnaire for them to answer (high light/ low light) and also added a workplace happiness scale, used by HR to analyze how we are as a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

Geekbot is an easy way to keep track of the tasks that everyone is working on. Earlier, we'd use WhatsApp or Slack to remind colleagues to update us on their tasks manually. It was also hard to keep track of who had provided an update and who didn't. Geekbot is very useful in tracking all this information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

It helps us keep the team informed about their work, ease communications and keep a written journal of what is being done daily. It's a great tool to keep a birds-eye view of the business's operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

Geekbot keeps our virtually dispersed team accountable, on track, and in clear communication of productivity. This relieves myself as a manager and our admin from manual review/check-ins. This not only saves us time, but it is simply more efficient for everyone involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

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.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

Our scrum teams have their own standups, but with Geekbot, we do company wide written updates; this way from the CEO down to someone who doesn't belong to a particular stand up gets their voice heard and their blockers removed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

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.

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

Daily and weekly status updates and checkins. We use Geekbot for team status updates to fascilitate cross team communication as well as for indivudual asyncronous daily status updates and checkins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
