    Paycor has been a blessing overall for our company, but some tickets have sat, and while communication has happened, it takes longer than we'd like, which makes us feel deprioritized. The webinar that discussed what is coming down the line for Paycor, including integration into accounting systems, was so exciting. I also feel the trust being shown in Paycor is justified, and that they are best in the industry at staying on top of security.

    Zoho People is well suited for organizations where they need a self service HR tool for tasks like attendance, leave management and time tracking. It is perfect for offices where employees like to work independently and benefit from easily accessing and managing their own HR records. But it is less suitable where internet is an issue or GPS is unavailable which makes the process of check-in/check-out frustrating.

    • Data Management- It's useful to have all data related to HR in one space, especially using the cloud. Separating data into relevant categories also makes administrative work a breeze.
    • Employee Resources- Having a central place for employees to reach out to HR is ideal.
    • Customization- Creation of forms is especially useful for a growing business.
    • Integration- Integrates well with other systems.

    Cons
    Paycor Inc
    • The backend implementation is extremely complex and requires too much trial and error
    • The implementation team is stretched thin and when onboarding new customers, they fall behind
    • Their hours of operations need to be longer to cover an earlier start and later start. Also, in my experience, their support representatives are not well trained nor do they understand the product well.

    • Check in and GPS issues - The app sometimes struggles with location detection during check-in which delays logging in
    • Limited offline access - Zoho People should have had an offline functionality making it difficult for employees to check in or log hours when internet connection is an issue
    • Clunky user interface - I personally find the interface bit too cluttered which makes navigation difficult

    Price point is the biggest driving factor. Paycor has made some strides in the customer service area and we've seen enough improvements that renewing our contract has become more a reality than a pipe dream. The system functions well and our employees are familiar with how it works, so to make a change would be a huge lift for our team

    Usability
    Paycor Inc
    Paycor’s ease of use is outstanding. I have trained multiple team members on how to use the system to fit their recruiting needs and they have all been shocked with how intuitive the system is. If there is ever a time when the system isn’t as straightforward then the knowledge base is a huge help in getting us the answers we need!

Zoho People is perfectly fits on our organisation where employees is mandatory to run a health business. Thanks Zoho

    Reliability and Availability
    Paycor Inc
    I feel like Paycor is always up and running! If they are planning downtime, they communicate it clearly. Every once in a while, I get something that says the system isn't working but it is usually back up within the hour. I typically find by the time that the employees complain about it, that it is resolved within the system.

    Performance
    Paycor Inc
    For the most part, everything moves super fast. There are a few sections (Expense Management) that sometimes take a bit to load correctly. Or if they are interesting, it takes a minute to talk to each other! But reports are quickly downloaded and available! Even data heavy reports run fairly fast!

    Support Rating
    Paycor Inc
    I feel like support will transfer you back and forth between departments and put you on hold forever. I believe it is very difficult to see the status of an open ticket. During my experience, it feels like the client has to push all communication and request updates from support regularly.

    In-Person Training
    Paycor Inc
    The training was helpful and covered the basic functionality of the system, but it did not stand out as exceptional. The presenter was knowledgeable and answered questions appropriately, but much of the content felt focused on standard product features rather than our specific business processes and use cases. I would have liked to see more hands-on exercises, deeper workflow examples, and practical demonstrations tied to real-world scenarios. Overall, the training was good and provided value, but there is opportunity to make it more engaging, more customized to our organization, and more impactful for long-term user adoption.

    Online Training
    Paycor Inc
    The online training was adequate and covered the core functionality of the platform, but it felt similar to many standard software training libraries available today. The content was easy to access and generally well organized, but it lacked the depth, interactivity, and real-world application needed to make it particularly memorable or impactful. I would have liked to see more role-based learning paths, practical business scenarios, hands-on exercises, and guidance tailored to different user groups. Overall, the training met basic expectations and provided useful information, but it did not differentiate itself from typical web-based training programs offered by most HCM providers.

    Implementation of any new software is going to be challenging, especially if you are maintaining an existing program concurrently. When it is time for dual-processing (both old and new software) prior to going live, be prepared to be stressed. But trust the process and it will be over soon.

    Overall, Paycor is a solid system that meets most of our needs. It offers a wide range of functionality and generally performs well. However, there are a few technical issues that create challenges, particularly within the onboarding module. From the few systems we have used, Paycor has the most potential

    Scalability
    Paycor Inc
    I gave it a 10 because we only use it across one organization. However, it has allowed us to break it into multiple departments and layers of management. It is also easy for us to utilize across different locations but still under one master company. They have always provided us support when we decide to change something on an organizational level

    Return on Investment
    Paycor Inc
    • We can process Payroll in a 25% of the time that we previously could.
    • Scheduling takes 2 or 3 times as much effort as it did before.
    • Onboarding allows employees to do self-service but comes with a lot of questions from team members so it is net the same amount of time at the end of the day.

    • 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.
