Asynchrone stand-up meetings in Slack
4.8/5 (19 review)Pluspunten
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.
Minpunten
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.
Overall experience is good
Pluspunten
The product is very much useful specially for technology .
We can even attach files and send it to the team where swiftly.
The most interesting feature of the product is shortcut commands.
Minpunten
Its difficult to send multiple text. We have create snippet and then send it.
Geekbot staff and the bot have both been exceptional, proactive, and helpful.
For a student project that demands steady progress amidst other responsibilities, Geekbot creates a level of accountability that keeps the entire team in motivated and in the loop.
Pluspunten
Customizable - able to set up days and times that meet the projects demands.
Engaging - private fun messages to motivate use.
Increases Accountability and Transparency - having a bot send out messages helps separate Scrum Master from becoming Scrum Overlord.
Efficient and concise - avoids the quick stand-up meetings that turn into long complex code reviews or water cool chats about the weekend.
Minpunten
No complaints. Works as advertised and the webhooks/API allow for scraping data to where we want to keep our records.
The team was very helpful and their software does exactly what we need it to do. Thanks Geekbot!
Pluspunten
The reports functionality and being able to customize it and trigger it for specific days of the week
Minpunten
For our usage, there is nothing lacking right now.
Glad we're helping you guys. Thanks for your kind words ;)
Overall it saves time talking to individual person about their progress. Till date had good experience with the bot.
Pluspunten
It's timely reminder helped me to get timely report of my team mates work progress. Daily reminder for their on going work progress, hurdles they are facing. Set up daily meeting reminders and calendar events.
Minpunten
Sometimes it feels like talking to a bot. It will be nice if we have some more AI feature in this.
Pluspunten
Geekbot is by far the best Daily Standup app for slack! I'm attending college and have a Software Engineering group project. Our group needed a Daily Standup slack bot to make our Standups easier and we had tried two others before with bad luck. Standup the customer support gave us so many problems so we switched to Geekbot and we could not be happier!! Geekbot has been excellent and I've recommended it to other teams at school who have equally loved it. I highly recommend it!!
Minpunten
There is nothing to complain about, we have had nothing but a pleasant experience with Geekbot so far.
Thanks for the awesome review!
Amazing experience, its helped us tremendously.
Pluspunten
It's been a really great experience, it has helped us to streamline daily to-dos for our team and encourage team communication surrounding specific tasks.
Minpunten
The only con we have is that we wish the price was a bit lower per user.
Pluspunten
Highly customize-able. Great for rapidly evolving workflows!
Minpunten
Honestly? Geekbot is pretty great... We're kinda inspired to make our bot just as useful :)
Appreciate your kind words!
Pluspunten
We've been using geekbot for the past month and have found it really increases the engagement of our team. We have both a daily and a weekly check-in and generally have 100% participation.
Minpunten
The only thing I don't like is that it posts the engagement to the channel, so everyone can see if some members didn't reply.
All in all I really like geekbot. It's easy to use and fulfills a need which we were unable to fulfill, until we discovered geekbot.
Pluspunten
It's easy to use. All users get a request to fill out if they're attending that days standup (we don't work in the same geographical location). If you forget to fill it out, you're reminded.
Minpunten
At one point my timezone was incorrect within geekbot, so I got my request to fill attendence too late. I had no opportunity to do anything about this. Could be due to the fact we are using the trial version.
Pluspunten
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.
Minpunten
It's a little simple, and I'm using it to allow employees to self-critique.
Pluspunten
It is perfect to manage the stand-up meetings considering remote teams in a different timezone. Furthermore, it always reminds the members to report.
Minpunten
Sometimes, it does not respect the time configured to start the daily meeting.
Pluspunten
Geekbot is a very usefull app for slack! Its easy for our remote team to work remotely with this app, it has reminders, we can see whats going on it other áreas of the NGO, stay connected, it helps us get organiced.
I highly recomend this app and our team in Chicas en Tecnologia is very happy to work with it.
Minpunten
Nothing, its very usefull and we haven t had any issue with it.
It was GREAT
Pluspunten
i do not have to worry on having a very distributed team, each developer states his standup at his starting hours and i couldn't love more that we are very organized right now
Minpunten
it should have more options not just standup meetings but also stand down and weekly reports
Geekbot make scrum adoption fast and easy
Pluspunten
Geekbot made was above my expectations, all my team members started to write daily standups without no-shows that used to happen when we tried to use calls or calendar reminders.
Minpunten
Everything is fine, geekbots suits with my needs.
👍
Pluspunten
It allows our timezone-distributed team to get the benefits of a daily standup without having to do it synchronously (or actually standing up :-D )
Minpunten
None, really. It's fully chat-driven, details are easily discoverable.
Geekbot is a great tool for many different use cases such as daily reminders, weekly standups, surveys, and more. Highly recommend!
Pluspunten
- As an admin, it's very easy to set up and customize surveys, reminders, etc. for a team.
- As a user, it's easy to work with geekbot within the Slack ecosystem - there is essentially zero on-boarding.
- Customer service is fantastic and personable
Minpunten
- There is not a very robust reporting mechanism. As a team that might send out a geekbot to many, many users, it can be difficult to extract meaningful insights from their responses.
Pluspunten
It is such an easy integration with Slack.
Minpunten
Might get pricey if my team grows any larger.
Easy to use.
Pluspunten
easy to get people organized without too much effort.
Minpunten
nothing in perticular. I like this software
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.
