Founder & CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A less intrusive team check-in for remote teams that's easy to use" October 17, 2019 5.0 Geekbot allows for us to have more regular check-ins and stand-up meetings with employees on a remote team. 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 :) CP Christina P. HR MANAGER Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Geekbot Review" May 16, 2024 5.0 Pros Geekbot is our go-to tool for keeping our team in sync and our projects on track. It's like having a virtual assistant that handles our check-ins, updates, and internal communication. It's easy and quick to use, and our teams seem to do it very effortlessly. If you're serious about boosting productivity and promoting communication within your team, Geekbot is the way to go. A great plus is that the client services team is really flexible and very responsive! Cons All works very well, there is nothing to report here. Review Source 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. Review Source OM Oleksand M. Design lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool!" 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.

Program Officer International Affairs Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great tool for weekly standups on a large team!"

It's intuitive and easy to use. Cons Overall, we love the tool and we have no complaints.

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! SS Sumanth S. Marketing Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Product Review" January 23, 2023 5.0 Geekbot is a great tool and I would highly recommend it to any team looking for a way to stay organized and on top of their projects Pros Geekbot is a powerful standup management tool that helps teams stay organized and on track. I have been using Geekbot for the past six months and have been extremely impressed with its features and functionality. Cons I found most helpful is the ability to add tasks. The tool also allows for easy communication and collaboration within the team, also has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to navigate and find the information I need. Review Source JY Joshua Y. Engineer Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Geekbot, great slack standup tool" February 17, 2023 4.0 Pros \* Easy to setup standup\* Easy to customize different questions\* Ability to set preferences as to when you get notified\* Ability for standup to get broadcasted in slack channel Cons \* Sometimes the software is a little buggy (geekbot will forget to notify me, sometimes responses do not go through)\* Ability to ask random question is there, but in order for me to manually add it to our existing standup, I had to manually add 150 questions to our standup, not fun hehe. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer iOS Developer Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Geekbot is the best way to run scrum or standup meeting in slack" July 30, 2018 4.0 Pros \- Its quite simple and easy to use standup bot for startups - It saves lot of time in meetings Cons \- There is no option to snooze the notifications when Im out of office, or when I dont want to participate in the post standup notification - The ping would sometime take some time to load. Its not always accurate on time. Review Source Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Appreciated both the pros and most importantly the cons you mentioned here. We have added the ability to snooze your notifications and we are working to eliminate any other boundaries we have in matters of time :) VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for our fully remote team" December 14, 2020 5.0 Pros Love how customizable the stand-ups are, and how personalized it feels. There are so many little features they added which you will find through the free trial - trust me I can't name them all because you'll see them! Makes for such a pleasant set-up and usage experience. Cons There's some bugs with the automated reminders being sent for each of our time-zones. For example my team members get their reminders but I don't (and I'm the one who set it up!) Review Source Response from Venturegeeks December 28, 2020 Thanks for mentioning both the pros and the cons of Geekbot :) Feel free to open a chat with our customer support though, in order to research the lack of notifications further!

March 19, 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 Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 When you read positive feedback in both pros and cons, it feels awesome :) Thanks for sharing this! JW Justin W. Director Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Increasing productivity and helping with connectivity" August 1, 2023 5.0 With Geekbot, our team’s productivity has reached new heights. Its implementation has enabled us to discuss and overcome any hurdles promptly. The best part? These discussions now happen asynchronously, allowing us to work at our own pace and yet stay connected. Pros The “Friday Kudos” feature is a hit too. It’s a wonderful way to close the week, acknowledging team efforts and contributions. Cons Time zone customization for people across different time zones could be improved. Allow for members to choose what time they want to be notified rather than based on a set time at the base time zone. Review Source OA Oscar A.
