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 :) 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 :) Rachel C. Director of product marketing Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great async syncs" June 24, 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 Alternatives considered [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) Review Source Karen V. CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for remote teams " January 25, 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 Response from Venturegeeks February 9, 2021 Thanks a ton Karen, for your lovely feedback about Geekbot :) Hope that we will continue to help you and your team get synced up daily! Marie V. Producer Entertainment Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Super easy to use and quick to setup !" February 10, 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 Response from Venturegeeks May 31, 2021 Highly appreciated your review on Geekbot and thanks for all the love Marie :) 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 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. 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 VR Verified Reviewer Scrum Master Retail Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Geekbot for daily standups" November 8, 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 OF Olga F. CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Productivity Boost" April 14, 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 Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Appreciated mentioning the pros and most importantly the cons of Geekbot, Olga :) It's always nice to learn what can you do to improve more and if at any case this is still bugging you, please reach out to our customer support in order to get this sorted the soonest! 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 :) ST Sebastian T. Product designer Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A really easy to use Slack integration that does what it needs to do." July 8, 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 Response from Venturegeeks August 2, 2022 Thanks for the sharing your experience with Geekbot Sebastian, really appreciate the nice words :) VR Verified Reviewer Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product for teams!" 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! JC Jeremie C. CTO Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "standup meetings made easy for small remote teams with hectic schedules" October 2, 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 Response from Venturegeeks November 17, 2020 Thanks Jeremie for sharing your view and describing on how Geekbot can help a small team (as us) to communicate and stay on track :) JL Jackson L. Technical Co-Founder Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Geekbot is amazing!" September 20, 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 CP Clay P. SVP Product & Engineering Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Geekbot ftw!" July 8, 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. Review Source Response from Venturegeeks July 27, 2021 Thanks so much for your kind words on Geekbot, Clay. Really mean a lot to the team here :) Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
