An hour sound terrible, given it is daily. That's a serious part of your workday (week, year)! Where I work it's 10-15 minutes for 10-15 people. We're with a bunch of disciplines (hardware, embedded, mobile and cloud) so it gives me a birds eye view of the bigger picture and some insights into where my activities will touch others, and where I can help or provide ideas. In addition, especially now we're remote, it's a way to sync up the devs time-wise. Some days a small ad-hoc group (2-4) will stay in the meeting to discuss an issue at hand. Plus often bilaterals are planned 'after the standup', since we're all in, and in meeting mode at that point anyway.
