Likelihood to Recommend It's simple to use even for non-technical employees, making it very simple to install even for a workforce that hasn't grown up in the digital age, and for that People HR is the best option to fit in. I haven't got in any situation yet where I see People HR as less appropriate except Applications Tracking Systems as I have never worked on that module much.
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 Complex reporting is made easy through the reporting capabilities of the system. We have been using reports for the past year and absolutely trust the accuracy of the data produced. The reports are generated easily through the system and can be exported into an editable Excel spreadsheet which is great. The self-service of data is great for freeing up HR time. Employees can update their personal information themselves quickly and easily. The App is a great feature of People HR. A large proportion of our employees work in our warehouse and as such don't have their own computer at work. The app allows those employees easy access to the system on the go. 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 UI could do with being more Up to date, i find it easy to use but is quite cartoon like. More Details for skills is required, I have some certifications but the system does not recognise the Brand Emails that are sent out could use an overhaul as they don't stand out as much as i think they should 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 Alternatives Considered Prior to initially taking out our PeopleHR contract i reviewed many HR systems and PeopleHR seemed the best option as it seemed to have the most functionality for the best price. However that was many years ago now and since being a customer of PeopleHR and now going with
Timetastic , i wouldn't recommend PeopleHR. The costs have increased substantially but there hasn't been any significant improvements in the software that we've seen/utilised. There's also a lot of system issues that seem to occur frequently. Not to mention the service has taken a total nosedive since PeopleHR were taken over by Access. Whilst
Timetastic is a much more basic system and really just a holiday planner, the cost is cheaper than anything I've seen on the market. For the more HRIS functionality, we've opted to utilise our O365 and create a Sharepoint HR Management Site which is much more cost effecitve us and we can avoid having to deal with Access which is a huge plus
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 PeopleHR has reduced the amount of holiday queries coming through to the HR Team. This has saved us around 2 hours per week. PeopleHR has increased visibility to line managers of their team and indirect reports for holiday / time management. The ATS has enabled us to automate responses/templates to all candidates applying for roles, send updates, reject, invite to interview etc. in a much quicker time frame. This has reduced hours of work writing emails per week. PeopleHR has given more responsibility and ownership to our managers to do their roles. 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.
