Likelihood to Recommend I believe if your managers can't make time to have in-person or live check-ins with their employees, the 15Five surveys and tools can create a semblance of care and follow-up, but many employees resent how impersonal it is. If you are able to have more face-to-face interactions or Zoom one-on-ones, those are almost always better-received by employees.
Read full review Zoho People is well suitable in both Remote & work location setups, It will reduce the time for senior management to track their attendance and other activities. It helps a lot in getting the info of their colleagues. Able to request for leave and get approval at the same place and the interesting thing is no need to note it down as it will automatically fall to the respective employee's attendance tracker. It is well useful in remote settings. This is the problem we faced and Zoho People is the solution for us.
Read full review Pros The Pulse Check feature is both easy to use and allows staff and management to gauge how team health is. The metric and key performance tools are very well designed. Automated reminders and reporting are great features. I find the customer services to be best in class. Read full review Zoho People is an exceptional software to improve the effectiveness of your team's communication. Easy check-in for my team, Seamless Trackers for Leave, Time, Attendance, Performance. Compensation and many others. Read full review Cons The more business units and teams you adopt consistently using 15five, the more you see the full value. Reporting - it would be helpful to see an entire org chart breakdown of the goals hit/missed at the end of each quarter. Recommendations - focus points/alerts on OKRs that aren't progressing and auto-generated action items you should take would be really useful functionality. Read full review Customer Support- Occasionally support response to questions can take a bit to get to the root issue, which can be frustrating from the technical side of running the system. However, the 24/7 availability is great. Onboarding Features- Could use some improvements. Not as expansive as other Zoho People features. Read full review Likelihood to Renew This program is the absolute best I've ever used in 30 years with organizations. Not only do I enjoy being a user and "filling it out" every week- but I would personally buy it if available for goal tracking in my personal life I love it that much!
Read full review Usability It's very simple to use - not overly complicated. You wouldn't need training to use. There are some features I never use because I don't understand -- like one on ones. However we use without and still find a lot of value in it!
Read full review Support Rating 15Five support is quick and helpful. We work with other vendors in the people management space and performance tracking/management who offshore their support or force us into long queues to chat for support and it just doesn't support our needs very well. 15Five is responsive and speedy. We constantly evaluate our vendors for their support and have switched vendors in the past in other areas because of limited support capabilities
Read full review Online Training Very helpful webinar training. They answer questions, the slides are all very helpful, and they send you the presentation once the webinar is complete so that you can share with your team.

Read full review Alternatives Considered Visually 15Five blows Yammer out of the water! Yammer was easy to use as well, but it felt very difficult to get on to and was not single sign-on when we were using it. 15Five allows for easy login with single sing on feature and has less "clicks" to get to where I need to be on the program. I also love the app way more than Yammer!
Read full review We only use Zoho People because it is part of our Zoho One suite. We originally used
Zenefits , which was great for hiring/onboarding, and we currently use
Employee Navigator to manage benefits and PTO, which is much easier to use than Zoho People. As of now, Zoho People is very buggy when it comes to managing PTO and there is currently no real benefits management or onboarding process that's easy to use.
Read full review Return on Investment It holds each employee to a certain standard by having them select their own list Gives them the opportunity to reach their list of goals Being able to accomplish each set goal and/or priority gives a sense of pride in each person's work as they are able to check off what has been done On the negative, it can also show what the employee is not being done and may show poorly if there is a consistent pattern of not completing tasks Read full review For us, the time/attendance tracking function of Zoho People has done a lot to increase accountability for scheduling and attendance. Since we are a volunteer staff, scheduling can be difficult, and this has made it so much easier to quantify and track everyone's weekly time commitments. Read full review ScreenShots
