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. Alternatives considered [Standuply](https://www.capterra.com/p/159019/Standuply/) Reason for choosing Geekbot Geekbot is more simple and intuitive. Fewer features overall, but the simplicity and superior UX made it worth the switch. Switched from [Standuply](https://www.capterra.com/p/159019/Standuply/) The UI/UX for Standuply was a bit overwhelming and Geekbot looked a bit cleaner and more simple. Review Source Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Appreciated the time spent and your kind words here Alex :) Hope that we will continue to fill the high standards you set for us! SA Shy A. Head of Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Efficient and Intuitive Team Coordination Tool" December 5, 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 Reason for choosing Geekbot Fair price, flexible and smart notifications Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) The local time notifications are a must, as my time is distributed. Review Source Digvijay M. Product Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Geekbot review from an Agile scrum POV" October 15, 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 MR Mathieu R. Head of Strategy Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy, quick and just what we needed" October 19, 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? Alternatives considered [Standuply](https://www.capterra.com/p/159019/Standuply/)[ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Geekbot Three words: Ease. Of. Use. In five minutes, everything was setup. Admin interface is also very well done. Review Source Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Thanks for letting us know how we can improve Mathieu :) It's always nice to get some real feedback! AC Andrew C. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It works great" October 13, 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. Alternatives considered [15Five](https://www.capterra.com/p/140437/15Five/) Switched from [15Five](https://www.capterra.com/p/140437/15Five/) Geekbot did everything I needed from 15Five at a much better price point. Review Source ST Seisei T. COO Political Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple yet powerful tool" May 22, 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 Alternatives considered [Standuply](https://www.capterra.com/p/159019/Standuply/) Reason for choosing Geekbot Interface is really easy to use but admittedly we have combined several products to get the functionality that we needed. We'd hoped to get an all-in-one but haven't been able to find a product that does everything. Geekbot is a strong addition to the suite of tools that we needed. Review Source Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Appreciated your feedback Sensei, we would definitely take your suggestion into careful consideration :) VR Verified Reviewer People and Culture Partner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy for respondents and admin alike!" January 15, 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 ZS Zeno S. Founder and CEO Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Game-Changer for Remote Teams" June 19, 2024 5.0 Overall, Geekbot has been a life-saver for our remote team. It streamlined our standup process, making it more efficient and less disruptive. The improved communication and empowerment of team members to provide updates on their schedule have been invaluable. I highly recommend Geekbot to any team, especially those working remotely, for its ability to enhance productivity and communication. Pros Geekbot's ability to facilitate asynchronous standup updates is a game-changer for our fully remote organization. With team members spread across different time zones and regions, Geekbot empowered us to conduct standups without wasting each other's time waiting for responses. It significantly improved communication across the entire organization, allowing everyone to stay informed and aligned. Cons While Geekbot is incredibly efficient, the initial setup and configuration can be a bit time-consuming. It took some time for our team to get accustomed to the interface and optimize it for our specific needs. Access to geekbot dashboard should be readily available through the slack chat interface. Reason for choosing Geekbot We chose Geekbot over alternative products because it offers asynchronous standup updates and polls all under one roof. This comprehensive functionality allows us to streamline our communication and gather essential feedback effortlessly. Additionally, Geekbot's user-friendly interface and seamless integration with our existing tools made it the perfect choice for our remote team. Review Source BT Bao T. VP of Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for Daily Syncs" June 3, 2024 5.0 Pros Geekbot easily aggregates the daily updates from all our teams so our managers can easily see what problems need immediate attention. It saves time which can be devoted to other tasks. Highly recommended! Cons Nothing! It's a simple tool that does exactly what it advertises. Review Source George V. Sr Product Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Does well for standups..wish they had more templates." May 29, 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 Response from Venturegeeks July 27, 2021 Thanks for mentioning both the pros and the cons of Geekbot, George. We are constantly want to increase and add new templates, so hopefully you will get to see more soon :) ML Mai L. Co-founder Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great UX, great support. It's now a crucial part of our daily team collaboration rituals" September 6, 2021 5.0 Pros My team and I have been using Geekbot for a few months now, and we really like it! It has some great features that make our lives easier. For example, it is very easy to use with a web interface, integrates with Slack, and has analytics and reporting. Our team uses it daily to improve team collaboration and their productivity. Another aspect of the software that I really appreciate is how well-designed the user interface is. There are lots of little details that make the experience better - from notifications of the bots, to having all of our active standups in one admin place so we can manage more in less time. And lastly, their customer service team has been fantastic too - they always respond quickly when we need help or have questions about anything! In conclusion, thanks so much for creating such an awesome standup app! Cons I’ve been using Geekbot for a while now and have had the opportunity to use it in many different situations. First, let me say that I appreciate the work they do and all of the hard work that goes into developing the product. It's not easy and it is important to recognise this. Here are my thoughts about what I don't like about Geekbot. First, I love the idea of providing people with an anonymous survey because people can be truly honest, but it would be great if we could nudge the anonymous participants using Geekbot to complete the survey. This is because currently, we have a super low survey participation rate which is really hurting our process. We used Simple Poll previously that had this feature, we would love if they could develop these features! Secondly, their pricing for this seems expensive to me since they charge us per user. The pricing structure makes sense if you are a small team < 10, but we have a lot of interns and temp staff (about 23 people) so the cost stacks up very quickly. We will still continue using it despite the high price tag, but it'd be great to be able to cap it to a flat fee when you exceed a certain size, Simple Poll has that flat fee structure so please consider doing the same! Review Source Response from Venturegeeks December 17, 2021 Thanks for taking the time to provide some really detailed feedback for us, highly appreciated :) Fingers crossed that we will be able to meet your expectations soon! VR Verified Reviewer Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Geekbot is easy to use and makes daily reporting easy" June 14, 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. Reason for choosing Geekbot I like the ease of set up and the ability to choose users' time zone ranges for the report, so everyone across the world can answer their bot in their first couple of hours of work, regardless of where they are located.

May 2, 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 Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helps us in an async world" June 8, 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 Response from Venturegeeks June 23, 2022 Thanks so much :) PK Paige K. Program Officer International Affairs Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great tool for weekly standups on a large team!" April 3, 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 DB Damir B. software developer Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "geekbot is super useful" January 19, 2022 5.0 Pros The Geekbot has a lot of features that make your teamwork more easier and productive. Our department uses a stand-up functionality every weekday Cons when I need to edit my report, then I want to have advanced formatting support, because for now links, mentions or smiles cannot be used after report updating Review Source Response from Venturegeeks January 26, 2022 Thanks for your feedback Damir :) Let me just mention that you can edit your replies to Geekbot one by one, instead of using the modal. This way you will have formatting etc. Feel free to reach out to our support if you need further clarifications! LW Lesti W. Business Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Key feature for our product team." November 6, 2020 5.0 Pros \- Remote asynchronous stand-up - The micro reports in Slack every day - The ping every morning to avoid forgetting - The dashboard to see the answers, the mood, globally or on a specific period Cons The log-in by Slack for each log-in to the tool. I would love something that remember me when I log-in? Review Source Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Thanks for taking the time to write a review Lesti :) If you ever find a little bit more time, please reach out to our customer support Team in order to explain us further your feature request here, thanks BK Batikan K. Software Engineer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Improved Productivity" March 19, 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 Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 It is always nice to hear a real customer story, Batikan :) Thanks so much for sharing! MK Mo K. CFO Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for remote teams" November 27, 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 VC Vivian C. Quantitative Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great help on task management" February 14, 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 Response from Venturegeeks June 23, 2022 Thanks for the feedback Vivian, though, what you asked for in Cons is totally doable and if you don't know how to set it, feel free to reach to us :) DV Damian V. CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Geekbot supports me in managing my remote team" April 9, 2020 5.0 Pros I have built a habit waking up and then joining my team's standup meeting. I love this product as I can provides me with data on how my team is feeling and at the same time I know what everyone is working on, which is sometimes hard when your run a remote company Cons Nothing comes to mind....Well maybe if the moment I post my stand up update, Geeky would order my daily coffee. That would be cool :) Review Source Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Haha! We have to definitely consider that option as well Damian :) Thanks for sharing! PG Pierre-Alain G. Product Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the most efficient tool we use" June 3, 2020 5.0 Pros It's handling our standup almost entirely asynchronously. Brings a lot of discipline, visibility, and helps us save a LOT of time (not 30 mins standups anymore) Cons Nothing is missing for me. I would personally love it if they gamified it a little bit, but this is in the "bonus points" category. Review Source Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Thanks so much for your review Pierre-Alain :) Feel free to reach out in order to discuss the gamification option further. MM Martijn M. Project Manager Automotive Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Student team from Eindhoven University of Technology uses Geekbot" November 4, 2020 5.0 Pros The software is very easy to implement and use. It helps our team keep an overview what of everyone is working on on a day to day basis. Cons It would be nice if there was the option as administrator to set the participation days of each user individually, instead of them having to submit it via their personal preferences. Review Source Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Appreciated for both the pros and the cons Martijn :) This is already in our Product backlog for further evaluation from the team here!

Review Source Response from Venturegeeks June 23, 2022 Great to hear you liked Geekbot that much :) VR Verified Reviewer Director of Marketing Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Less meetings. Qualitative feedback." November 21, 2018 5.0 Pros I love how I was able to cut my performance meeting time to virtually nothing! Now, I ask my team (via slack) about what they are working on and how they are performing. This allows me to keep tabs on each of my employees and help where needed. Cons It's a little simple, and I'm using it to allow employees to self-critique.
