9 /10

What differentiates Zoho People from other similar products?

Zoho people differentiates itself form other similar products as it has a seamless integration across the zoho suite which allows data flow between HR, CRM and Payroll which is ideal for businesses using multiple zoho tools. Also its mobile accessibility and affordable pricing makes it a cost effective choice for businesses focused on flexibility and value.

Best part of Zoho people is that it is a self service software where raising any request such as leaves, is straightforward. I can also view my leave balances and upcoming holidays. It also keeps a track of my daily working hours.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The check in and check out is sometimes hectic, it wont pick up correct location and also sometimes when the internet is a bit slow i just get logged out.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Zoho people is great for anyone looking for a self-service HR app that makes leave requests, attendance tracking and time management easy and accessible. Only thing to keep in mind is about the check in and check out which maybe sometimes get affected due to connectivity issues or location detection. Overall its highly beneficial.
