What differentiates Zoho People from other similar products?

ZOHO People comes with base level integration with ZOHO Payroll. While all the other applications have this in one module, it becomes extremely crucial to keep the 2 separate as payroll and HRMS need to be managed spserately.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

All in one review mechanism and team amangement.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are some limitations on attendance regularizations, plus the employee profile is an issue.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you have a lot of third party people or ground operations who do not work from the office, then you might want to consider another application which is more flexible. Else, this is a good all in one platform.
