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.
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.
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.

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.
Removed daily sync meetings, and better than a daily channel ping, which is easy to forget. The configurable DM reminders are helpful. 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.
Easy to use, the random question bit is nice. Can be made as much or as less noisy as necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I need a tutorial to get to the dashboard everytime lol. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Excellent, simple yet flexible tool to set up an async standup process in Slack. The free tier is full featured and does exactly what we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would love more flexibility on setting up different reporting cadence for individual standup members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

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.
it allows for a quick check in and out. The process does not take long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It feels like I'm being micromanaged/ not trusted to get work done on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

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.
