"Smooth, User-Friendly HR Management with Great Automation and Zoho Integrations"
What do you like best about Zoho People?

Zoho People offers a smooth and user-friendly HR management experience, especially for small to mid-sized teams. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to manage employee records, attendance, and leave tracking without much training. I particularly like the customization options and automation features, which help streamline HR processes and reduce manual work.

The integration with other Zoho apps is a big advantage, creating a unified ecosystem for business operations. However, some advanced features can feel slightly complex at first, and mobile app performance could be improved.

Overall, it’s a reliable and cost-effective HR solution that brings good value for growing organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible Custom Forms, but Version 5 Update Disrupted Employee Data"
What do you like best about Zoho People?

What I like best is the flexibility in managing employee data and processes in one place. The ability to create custom forms makes it easy to adapt workflows to our specific operational needs. It provides a practical balance between structure and customization, which works well for an outsourcing environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho People?

One drawback of Zoho People is the update to version 5, which disrupted previously attached employee data. Some information was relocated in ways that feel counterintuitive, making it harder to find and manage. This change negatively impacted usability and required additional time to adjust workflows.

"Streamlined, All-in-One HR Platform That Saves Time"
What do you like best about Zoho People?

What I like most about Zoho People is that it brings all HR processes together in one easy-to-use platform. Everything from attendance tracking and leave management to employee records is well organized and available in real time, so it’s simple to find what you need when you need it. The interface is clean and fairly user-friendly, which makes navigation straightforward for both HR teams and employees. I also value the automation features—such as approval workflows and notifications—because they cut down on manual work and help improve efficiency. Overall, Zoho People makes day-to-day HR management more streamlined and less time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho People?

One of the main downsides of Zoho People is that some features can feel a bit limited, or they require additional configuration to fully meet specific business needs. The interface is generally clean, but it can sometimes be confusing when you’re trying to navigate more advanced settings or run reports. I’ve also noticed occasional delays or glitches, especially when loading data or syncing information. In addition, the customization options for certain modules could be more flexible, and integrations with other tools may take extra setup to get working smoothly.

"Highly Customizable HR Automation with Seamless Zoho Integration"
What do you like best about Zoho People?

Zoho People’s biggest strength is its customization. It lets you tailor workflows, approval hierarchies, leave policies, and performance cycles to match your organization’s structure. The automation features also save a lot of time, particularly for attendance tracking and leave approvals. Integration with other Zoho apps is another major advantage, especially if you’re already in the Zoho ecosystem. On top of that, the reporting dashboard provides useful insights without requiring advanced technical skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho People?

The user interface is functional, but it isn’t always intuitive. Some settings are buried under multiple layers of menus, and the initial setup can feel overwhelming if you don’t have clear guidance. The mobile experience could also be smoother in certain areas. On top of that, some advanced features are locked behind higher-tier plans, which can drive up costs as your team grows. Customer support is generally decent, but it can be slower than expected when you’re dealing with more complex issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean, User-Friendly HR Tool with Smooth Zoho Integrations"
What do you like best about Zoho People?

Zoho people is easy for both administrators and employees to navigate, which makes everyday tasks like attendance, leave requests and timesheet submissions very straightforward.

This interface is clean and user friendly. So new users can adapt quickly without extensive training.

Setup and configuration were relatively simple with minimal disruption.

Integration with other zoho products and external systems has generally been smooth, allowing us to connect HR data with payroll, collaboration and other business tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho People?

While basic customization is good, certain areas such as form rules, automation logic and reporting lack the flexibility that more mature HRIS tools offer. This means we sometimes need workarounds to achieve the desired outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and User-Friendly HR Tool for Everyday Needs"
What do you like best about Zoho People?

What I liked best about Zoho People was how simple and organised it seemed. The interface is clean, it's simple to track attendance and leave, and most tasks can be completed with minimal training. It also works seamlessly with other Zoho tools, saving time and consolidating everything in one place. Overall, it seems practical and dependable for day-to-day HR tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho People?

What I didn't like about Zoho People was that some of the features felt limited unless you were on a higher plan. Customisation can be confusing at times, and some settings are not very intuitive. The mobile app works, but it isn't as smooth or powerful as the desktop counterpart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Workforce Management with Zoho People"
What do you like best about Zoho People?

I use Zoho People for my daily work life management. I find it really easy to navigate on the website and the app, and it is very user-friendly. I like its UI and the good colors. It's great for applying for leaves and tracking how many I have left. It also helps me track holidays and receive proper notifications both on the app, website, and email whenever HR posts or announces anything. I frequently use LeapTracker and the files section a lot, and it's amazing how I get notifications as soon as a document is shared. The initial setup was good for me, and the tool itself is easy and very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Customizable, Yet Exceptional Value"
What do you like best about Zoho People?

I appreciate Zoho People's highly customizable features. It lets us build custom forms and modify workflows, and even use their unique scripting language to enhance our experience. The onboarding process is incredibly easy and convenient, providing ample checklists to ensure everything is set up correctly from the start. I also like the seamless integration with other Zoho products and its robust mobile app. This app is excellent for teams to clock in and out using geofencing. Additionally, uploading and signing documents with eSignatures is easy, and setting up company handbooks that can be accessed before employees join is a big help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho People?

I think configuring complex leave policies can always be tricky. Users have found it quite difficult to set up the initial bid, and it can be overly complex because it requires a fair amount of setup first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zoho People can feel clunky in places, with some users finding parts of the interface unintuitive or overwhelming, especially during initial setup and configuration.
