Being on a remote team is quite lonely at times and having Geekbot be a non-committal daily check-in really helps us stay on the same page with our team. The other reports are interesting and I'm excited to collect more datapoints over-time to get a nice gauge on how the team is feeling as a whole. Pros The interface is incredibly easy to use and the onboarding/setup was super clean. I have used other players in the space like Standuply and felt somewhat overwhelmed with functionality. Geekbot has a far better UI/UX and reporting process. We have found our home with Geekbot. Cons That there is no free tier. We are a small team and many of their competitors have a free tier for small teams. It has gotta be tough competing with that, but they are definitely taking a step in the right direction with their simplicity and superior UX. I do wish that you could default the manual "report" check-in functionality as we have a daily check-in and a bi-weekly retrospective. 99.9% of the time you are going to do the daily check-in manually by typing "report", but it has you select which of the 2 reports you want to report on. Review Source R Reviewer Head of Engineering Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Efficient and Intuitive Team Coordination Tool" December 11, 2023 5.0 Pros Smart scheduling is based on the local time of the participants. And the price :) Cons Nothing in particular; it's simple and easy to use Review Source R Reviewer Product Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Geekbot review from an Agile scrum POV" October 19, 2022 3.0 Pros This is an asynchronous way to run your team's huddle or standup. This is best suited for small teams or smaller companies with no more than 5-6 people in a team. This helps you save time and get to uncover very quickly where you team is blocked on and what they have been up to. Cons As mentioned above, it is okay for teams no more than 6 people. If more, it becomes quite cluttered and overwhelming to handle so many updates at once. This application is best for asynchronous updates and not task or project management. One can get only a daily view but not a weekly or monthly view for medium to large-sized projects. To get a bigger picture view for a Manager, this application should be best used with a ticketing software like Asana, Jira or Linear. Review Source Mathieu R. Head of Strategy Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Easy, quick and just what we needed" October 22, 2020 5.0 Pros So easy to deploy, manage and customize to our needs, this is exactly what we needed in this pandemic. We are now 9 people working remotely and Geekbot just makes things so easier for us in this context. Slack integration is as easy as it is a lifesaver! Cons We've only tested the basic features but are priced for the full thing. Segmented pricing options would be great for small startups like ourselves, maybe? Review Source Andy C. Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "It works great" October 20, 2022 5.0 Pros We use Geekbot to do a virtual daily standup on Slack instead of needing to have daily meetings. It saves us time and helps us understand what our colleagues are working on and what they need help with. Cons I have no complaints about Geekbot. It's very straightforward. Review Source Seisei T. COO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Simple yet powerful tool" June 1, 2020 5.0 We use this for a daily gratitude practice with the team--really smooth Pros Interface is simple to understand, daily survey was easy to create and implement, no glitches in execution, and all the responses are rounded periodically into one report that gets sent to the admin via email Cons No ability to aggregate and report all responses into one report that gets delivered at a specific time Review Source George V. Sr Product Manager Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Does well for standups..wish they had more templates." June 10, 2021 5.0 Pros What we really liked about Geekbot is that it is simple and easy to set up and use. Geekbot gives us a snapshot of what the whole team is working on each day. This helps managers keep track of deliverables, reduces the formation of silos in the team as well as fosters an environment of support and learning as the app enable team members to flag obstacles earlier and receive the help they need. In terms of task management, the app has helped managers track deliverables across the team. It has also helped increase ownership, consciousness and accountability among individual team members for planning and executing their daily tasks, especially as the team is now fully remote. Cons Customisable templates is an area where Geekbot could improve - they just don't have as many templates as their competitors do. I would like to see more templates around process like employee onboarding, which Standuply offers. Review Source Rachel C. Director of product marketing Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great async syncs" June 27, 2023 5.0 Pros Fair pricingEasy to set upAwesome customer service for all tiers Cons Love it all so far - can't find the disadvantages Review Source Karen V. CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great for remote teams " January 29, 2021 5.0 Pros It is really easy to use and helps keeping our team on the same page with our daily standups. Cons I cannot list anything negative. It is really simple and straight-forward for our team. Review Source Marie V. Producer Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Super easy to use and quick to setup !" February 12, 2021 5.0 It took me 5 minutes to setup and add all my little details and settings, it posts everyone's reports in our dedicated channel and people can check those out whenever in a clear and easy way. We ask "Do you need to talk to anyone ?" each day, and people tag whoever it is they have to talk to. Easy and super useful. I love the option to get the standup DM whenever you connect from a specific time ! Pros So far our team is only using Geekbot to handle Standup, but it is amazing. There is not a single thing missing there. A most appreciated feature is that it handles timezones. Our company works with people from Europe, the US, South America and New Zealand without this, standup would be a mess. Also love that people can pick and choose the best time for them to fill their standup, that's especially practical for contractors that have variable hours. Cons It would be amazing if the whole setting up of standups could be done directly in slack, but honestly I don't see anything I don't like about Geekbot so far. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer People and Culture Partner Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy for respondents and admin alike!" January 16, 2025 5.0 Very positive! Would highly recommend using Geekbot for employee surveys! Pros Super easy to use, great dashboards, made our employee surveys very easy! Cons At first we didn't have our views/security set correctly so that all respondents could see all answers but once we rectified we never had that issue again Review Source Verified Reviewer Founder Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Geekbot is easy to use and makes daily reporting easy" June 19, 2023 5.0 I think it's one of the easier bots to set up and leave running, and I should probably look at their other features too! Pros We use Geekbot for our agile team's standup reports, with features like flexible scheduling for individual or channel requests, accommodating different time zones, delivering reports to the client channel for visibility, providing comment notifications, and its easy setup and customization options, allowing us to effortlessly streamline our standups and enhance collaboration. I am also a fan of telling it I'm on vacation and it knows when to restart itself. Cons Sometimes when I have a bot running for too many teams / channels I do miss an update. It tries to be smart enough that it doesn't have me reporting on more than one thing at a time (a conflict I have created as an admin) and it pauses one when the next one starts. So, I can forget to go back to the paused one. Review Source R Reviewer Design lead Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great tool!" May 3, 2023 5.0 Pros I have been using Geekbot for years, and it is the best solution in its class for conducting daily standups for teams. With the workflow builder, you can create a custom solution that streamlines your daily routine, making life easier for both managers and participants. I particularly appreciate the quality and speed of their customer support service, which is consistently excellent Cons Not really a clear FAQ for common questions, so you have to contact support more time Review Source VR Verified Reviewer MD Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Helps us in an async world" June 9, 2022 5.0 It does what it should do. Pros It is well integrated into Slack and integrates well with our asnyc communication workflow Cons It's a simple software, there's not much you can't like. Review Source Paige K. Program Officer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A great tool for weekly standups on a large team!" April 9, 2024 5.0 Pros It is very easy to connect this tool to Slack and add/remove our team members as necessary. We use this tool for our weekly standups channel, and it works perfectly. It's intuitive and easy to use. Cons Overall, we love the tool and we have no complaints. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Scrum Master Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Geekbot for daily standups" November 11, 2022 4.0 Pros We have recently adopted agile ways of working at Dr Martens. We are a global company and our product team works across four different time zones (UK, US, India, Bulgaria). We were finding the time difference challenging, and decided to trial Geekbot for our daily stand-ups. What we like about Geekbot is the ability to tailor the questions to our team, choose what time to automate the questions being sent out, and being able to link the responses to our Teams channel. Geekbot has turned out to be a valuable tool for us in being able to keep track of what all team members are working on throughout the day and where they have any questions or blockers. We intend on continuing with Geekbot once our trial period ends Cons Have to set the timer to 1/2 hour before the meeting time otherwise does not allow enough response time before the meeting Review Source Olga F. CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Productivity Boost" April 20, 2020 5.0 We use Geekbot for our virtual standup. We configured it in a way that it asks for a report in the evening. So we write what we've done today and what we are going to do tomorrow. This way we have our next day planned in beforehand which is great for the mental health cause having a day planned helps you sleep at night tight :) Pros Geekbot helps our team being productive and efficient. Cons Sometimes it gets crazy and forgets about some team members or sends the report reminder in strange times :) Review Source R Reviewer Software Engineer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Improved Productivity" March 28, 2019 5.0 Geekbot allowed us to implement daily standup culture within our team without leaving Slack. We are a distributed small team that has members from 3 different countries, and we manage our daily standups + retrospectives through Geekbot. So far it has helped everyone to get up-to-speed with how to approach the project management culture we are trying to implement and it allowed everyone to see the progress being made, documented and openly appreciated. Pros It is easy to use. You just set it up and that's it, it is completely integrated with Slack, so you don't need to go to the dashboard to manage anything, you can handle a lot of stuff by just communicating with the bot. It is really easy to use and allows keeping everyone up to date. Cons It failed once or twice throughout our whole usage which caused some questions to be delivered late, but those were only small glitches. Overall, it is a pretty stable product. Review Source MK Moritz K. CFO Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great for remote teams" December 7, 2023 5.0 Very helpful and responsive customer support. Pros I can schedule different stand up workflows per day and receive analytics. Cons Hard to access from Slack, because I have to go to the Geekbot website to configure it. Review Source Dongyang(Vivian) C. Quantitative Analyst Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great help on task management" February 17, 2022 5.0 Pros Task management. it's very easy to set up. We use the standups for our daily task managing. Cons I'd like to set different time/question choices in the same standup for different team members if possible. Review Source R Reviewer Product designer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A really easy to use Slack integration that does what it needs to do." July 11, 2022 5.0 A good tool that everyone can integrate into their workflow for more or less any use case Pros The ease of use and very specific use cases. It's a good too for standups and other kinds of progress updates. You get asked a series of questions and simply reply in Slack. This data is collected and posted elsewhere. Cons There wasn't any negative points that I discovered about my use of this tool Review Source Verified Reviewer Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great product for teams!" March 25, 2019 5.0 Pros We are a distributed small team that has members from 3 different countries, and we manage our daily standups + retrospectives through Geekbot. Geekbot allowed us to implement daily standup culture within our team without leaving Slack. So far it has helped everyone to get up-to-speed with how to approach the project management culture we are trying to implement and it allowed everyone to see the progress being made, documented and openly appreciated. Cons It's so simple, also there are some preset meetings for daily standup or retrospective, etc. They're really helpful to us. Review Source R Reviewer CTO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "standup meetings made easy for small remote teams with hectic schedules" October 5, 2017 5.0 Pros At Trackener, we are a small startup (5 team members) and we are following the agile methodology. Standups are important for us to know on a daily basis who's doing what, and make sure our team is always focusing on what matters the most. We had trouble finding an hour to schedule those standups since our CEO is always on the move, one of our team members is working part time mostly on evenings, and we often all work remotely. Doing it on Slack with Geekbot, whenever someone starts his workday, was really a good idea because it enables us to keep that good habit of daily reporting our work while not necessarily doing it all at the same time. Among the interesting features that Geekbot provides are the reminders (if you don't do your standup, expect to be harassed!) and it tells you what you commited to do the day before, when you start your report. We've used it daily in our team for more than 3 months and it's totally part of our daily routine. Cons There are a lot of features that we do not need though (like the dashboard, tracking, etc). Review Source R Reviewer Technical Co-Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Geekbot is amazing!" September 21, 2023 5.0 Pros The startup that I am a part of had a hard time keeping daily standup meetings short. Geekbot offered a great way to keep each other updated with what we were working on and blockers in an asynchronous way. Cons Finding the management page can be a little tricky. Review Source Clay P. SVP Product & Engineering Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Geekbot ftw!" July 9, 2021 5.0 Geekbot is a huge time and cost saver for us. Letting people write daily updates asynchronously via slack means everybody can post/read status updates as it suits their schedule. Avoiding those in person meetings saves dozens of hours a week and gives everyone larger blocks of uninterrupted time to get work done. Pros Geekbot is dead simple, and it lives where our team lives: in Slack. Set up your questions, your recipients, and your schedule, and you're off and running. Cons Nothing to fault here. It's got the right mix of features and simplicity to cover the basics.
