Advanced user of GeekbotSo 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.
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.
I just wish the free version could apply to also slightly bigger teams, but maybe depending on the company's means available ?
We're an indie game company and the price is a little steep for us.
It's the perfect tool to handle Standup for remote teams on Slack ! I love the fact that it's this bot asking you all the questions live, and how you can add little comments and customize everything!
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.
The other great thing is that since is has the option to send you the standup DM whenever you connect, people are less likely to forget : it's the first thing they do everyday !
