Performance of Zoho People Across Market Features

Zoho People Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like how it keeps everything from attendance and leave to employee records in one clean system that's easy to understand. The custom workflows are a big plus because they let me adjust processes to match how the organization works. I also find the performance tracking and goal setting features useful as they make reviews more structured and fair also the integration with other Zoho apps adds real value by keeping data connected and reducing manual effort.

Like

- Good feature set Core HR features - Affordable for SMB organizations - Good set of customizations

Like

I like the ability to view and manage Time Off Requests for people easily and being able to produce reports. I also like being able to create Forms and have custom sections that allow us to manage the team more effectively. Lastly, being able to produce letters with workflows has made my work easier!

Dislike

Some advanced features are locked behind higher plans and the system can feel a bit crowded which slows down navigation also some reports and settings lack flexibility and need extra effort to customize.

Dislike

- The dashboard looks more like a CRM dashboard than a HR portal - Configuring workflows and policies are a bit confusing - You cannot apply for leaves a week before the given date Restriction

Dislike

I would say there were instances when I've had to ask for technical support, and they would provide unreliable answers. Most of the time, I had to solve issues independently or internally with my team.
