Zoho People Reviews

I use Zoho People almost daily for attendance tracking, leave management, timesheets, employee information access, and performance review activities. What I like best is having these HR processes centralized in a single platform rather than relying on emails, spreadsheets, or manual follow-ups with HR.

The attendance and leave management modules are the features I use most frequently. I can quickly check attendance records, review leave balances, submit leave requests, and track approval status directly from the dashboard. During project execution, this visibility helps me plan activities more effectively by understanding resource availability and approved leave schedules.

As an L&D and HR Operations specialist, I value its unified ecosystem most. It consolidates core HR admin, employee self-service and basic learning tools in one place, perfectly matching our mid-sized team’s daily needs. The self-service portal truly lightens our workload; team members can submit leave requests, adjust personal details and check work records on their own, greatly reducing repetitive HR inquiries. Automated approval chains move requests to respective managers instantly, keeping all workflows efficient and visible. We heavily use its customizable onboarding templates and bulk training assignment tools to standardize new hire processes and track course completion in real time. The clean, intuitive interface means employees and supervisors adapt quickly with no extensive training. What’s more, it connects seamlessly with other Zoho apps we use, building a connected workflow and avoiding disjointed data across platforms.

Its L&D features fall short when compared to professional learning management systems. It cannot support sophisticated course classification, structured learning paths or in-depth skill gap assessments, and its training-related reports only offer surface-level data. The custom reporting function also has obvious constraints. There are fixed caps on columns, grouping rules and aggregate fields, so we cannot pull combined reports covering training, attendance and performance data together. The filter settings are too simple to create nested conditions, and several custom fields we built for internal use cannot be added to reports. It lacks practical tools like pivot tables and conditional formatting. When duplicating existing reports, layouts do not carry over, forcing us to rebuild from scratch repeatedly. Complex reports also display incorrectly on mobile devices, affecting on-the-go checks.

Before using Zoho People, our employee data was scattered across various spreadsheets and separate tools, leading to frequent data inconsistencies and extra sorting work. This platform brings all personnel information into a single secure repository and eliminates data silos entirely. It automates most manual admin work across onboarding, compliance training and daily HR procedures, saving our team plenty of working hours. The self-service function and automated approvals cut down routine clerical work, letting our HR team shift focus to talent development and other strategic tasks instead of repetitive paperwork.

What I appreciate about Zoho People is how easily it integrates with other products such as Zoho Cliq. It has also made our HR processes efficient when it comes to storing employee data, and celebrating milestones and recognition.

If you're a new user, you may find it a bit difficult to locate certain features. It was a bit difficult for me to set up workflows because some of the more advanced features aren't immediately obvious as a first time user. However, once you get the hang of of where everything is located, it becomes a powerful tool.

Managing employee data is how it helps me. I don't have to manually send out reminders as I can set that up in workflows.

I find Zoho People very convenient because it's like carrying a whole HR department on my laptop in the cloud. It simplifies the usual HR paperwork and files, which would require a physical location otherwise. I also really appreciate its features for people logging in and out, as well as the reminders for important events like birthdays and work anniversaries. The initial setup was straightforward and very easy, which I would rate a 10 out of 10.

I think what needs to be improved on Zoho People would be the payroll systems. I would want to see more payroll integration.

I use Zoho People for managing employees, time tracking, and viewing task lists. It helps with time logging when employees start and finish work. I also find the reminders for birthdays and anniversaries very useful.

I like it because it’s very easy to use and has a simple, clean UI. Any user who comes to the Zoho People platform won’t feel confused or overwhelmed, so overall I’m happy with it.

I’ve been using the Zoho People platform for the last 8-9 months, and honestly, I haven’t found anything negative about it so far.

Zoho People basically solves the problem of managing human resources. In my organization, as a user of Zoho People, I can check all my details, such as my location, department, time zone, seating location, and contact information. I can also view the profiles and contact details of all employees in my organization. Overall, I think Zoho People is moving in the right direction.

it helps me manage clinic work, staff coordination, and health education related activities from one place in a simple way. i work as a Dietician nd Nutritionist, manage a homeopathy clinic, and also create health awareness content for social media, so handling daily work properly is important for me. i regularly use features like attendance tracking, leave management, employee records and time tracker during day to day work. The time tracking feature is specially useful while managing patient consultation timings, wellness webinar preparation, follow-up work and content planning activities. It helps keep work more clear and properly managed during busy schedules. Employee information, approvals and documents also stay easy to access whenever needed.

the platform feels simple to use and implementation was not difficult for me even without much technical knowledge. Performance has been smooth in regular use and the system works well while handling different activities together. i also like that many HR related tasks can be managed from one platform instead of using multiple tools separately. I use it quite frequently for staff handling, internal coordination and planning wellness related activities. Overall, Zoho People feels practical and genuinely useful for keeping healthcare and content related work more organized and easier to manage.

most features are easy to understand, some settings related to workflows and permissions can feel little confusing in the beginning until everything is properly set according to daily work needs. sometimes while checking attendance logs, time entries and approvals together, I need to open multiple sections before finding the exact update I am looking for. During busy clinic work I prefer some information to be visible little more directly from the dashboard itself.

everything about the product is great. The UI/UX the overall performance and the the integrations it has is just mind blowing.

1) Easy to use.

2) One-stop platform for facilities like attendance tracker, performance tracker, setting KRI/KPI, LMS platform, accessing payslips, etc.

3) Can be accessed via mobile app also

As the platform provides many facilities, it can sometimes be challenging to identify which sub-category falls under a specific category. For example, location payslips could be unclear because it is not obvious which category it belongs to
