What do you like best about Geekbot?

I like how agile it is, I can set up, edit, and pause reports with ease, as well as review full reports (answers) from all team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

It works for what I need, and some little bugs that came up in the past seem to have been addressed - nothing that I dislike at present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are a fully distributed team, so Geekbot allows for improved communication and engagement between team members. It has also made things like retrospectives and quarterly checkins much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

Geekbot enabled our distributed team to fully automate our standup process in Slack. Geekbot also provides many customization options (e.g. you can define your own standup questions, the frequency of standup, have users be a part of multiple teams, etc.) at a very affordable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

We have experienced some performance issues where standup reminders were not sent and/or users could not submit their standup reports. These types of incidents have been intermittent though and Geekbot customer service has always been very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Geekbot enables us to conduct standup mostly asynchronously, which is particularly beneficial given that we are a distributed team. Having Geekbot remind team members to submit updates daily helps to ensure that reports are submitted on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it would integrate with identity systems so that new team members were automatically added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

I liked most about the Geekbot software is its ability to integrate with other tools that teams are already using. The seamless integration with popular project management and communication tools such as Slack and Trello makes it easy to access status updates in the same place where team members are already communicating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

Geekbot software is its limited customisation options. While the software allows for some customisation of the status update questions, the options are quite limited, and this may not be suitable for all teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geekbot?

Geekbot is a cheap solution to doing async communication, which is especially valuable in remote teams. I enjoy the level of configuration you have in setting up not only the questions, but which workstreams they post in, which team members have access to it, and when they are notified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geekbot?

It doesn't always work as expected. Often times I will post an update and it will not post until later, or I will have to refresh the app in order to get prompted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Seeing the status and blockers of multiple team members at a glance, and having that written down for reporting purposes is useful from an engineering management perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
