I especially liked the leave management, attendance tracking, approval workflows, employee hierarchy, holiday calendars, remote check-ins, breaks, and policy acknowledgement features. The system is highly configurable, and once it is set up correctly, employees and managers can clearly understand their responsibilities and follow a structured process. > > **Cons**: The initial setup can be complicated and time-consuming, especially for someone without previous HR software experience. Some important settings are spread across different sections, and the relationship between attendance policies, shifts, working hours, and reports is not always immediately clear. More guided setup instructions and simpler explanations inside the platform would improve the experience. > > My overall experience has been positive. We are a small IT company and needed a structured way to manage employee information, leave, attendance, remote work, approvals, and company policies. Zoho People has allowed us to bring these processes into one system instead of managing them informally. The platform offers many useful configuration options and appears suitable for both small teams and growing companies. However, the setup process requires careful attention because some options can affect multiple areas of the system. After completing the main configuration, the platform has been useful and works well for our current requirements. ----- ### "Comprehensive HRMS for Growing Businesses" — 4.0/5 > **Selvakumar** | *19 June 2026* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: • Seamless integration with other Zoho applications. • Cost-effective for small and growing organizations with minimal upfront commitment. • Strong security features, including role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication. • Flexible plans that allow organizations to scale as their needs evolve. • Comprehensive employee lifecycle management covering onboarding, attendance, leave, files, and HR workflows. • Highly customizable forms, workflows, and approval processes. > > **Cons**: • User permissions, roles, and form-level access controls can be challenging to understand during initial setup. • Some administration screens, particularly Access Control and Permissions, could be more intuitive and user-friendly. • Customer support response times could be improved for implementation-related queries. • Self-implementation may require significant time investment, especially for organizations setting up complex workflows and policies for the first time. • Certain advanced configurations have a steep learning curve and may benefit from improved documentation and guided setup wizards. > > We recently evaluated and implemented Zoho People as part of our HRMS and employee management setup. The platform offers a comprehensive set of features covering employee information management, attendance, leave tracking, onboarding, document management, and workflow automation. Its seamless integration with other Zoho applications makes it particularly attractive for organizations already using the Zoho ecosystem. For small and growing businesses, Zoho People provides excellent value for money with flexible pricing plans and the ability to scale as the organization grows. While the platform is feature-rich, there is a learning curve during the initial setup, especially when configuring permissions, forms, workflows, and access controls. Overall, it is a powerful and cost-effective HRMS solution that can cater to both small businesses and larger organizations. ----- ### "A reliable HR platform for everyday workforce management" — 5.0/5 > **Mitesh** | *10 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like most about Zoho People is how it simplifies everyday HR tasks without making the process complicated. Leave management, attendance tracking, and employee records are all available in one place, which saves time for both HR and employees. The approval workflows are easy to configure, and the self-service portal has reduced the number of routine HR requests. It also integrates well with other Zoho applications, making daily operations more efficient. > > **Cons**: Overall, I've had a good experience with the platform. If I had to point out one area for improvement, it would be the reporting and workflow customization for more complex HR processes. > > We uses Zoho People to manage employee information, attendance, leave requests, and approval workflows. It has helped reduce manual HR work and made routine tasks much easier for employees through the self-service portal. Over the years, the platform has become more polished, and regular updates have added useful features without making it difficult to use. Overall, it has been a reliable HR management solution that meets most of our day-to-day requirements. ----- ### "Excellent HRMS system\!" — 5.0/5 > **Oscar L.** | *28 July 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho People is a complete HRMS Solution that paired with all relevant Zoho Apps makes it a powerful platform at a fraction of the cost of more mainstream solutions. It has great security features and top level trustworthiness in the market. Customer support is superb across the Zoho platform. Great employee management features and very easy to use. Also, Zoho People can be paired with Zoho's Payroll and Procurement solutions for a seamless complete solution. So far I have not encountered any bugs and issues to report. > > **Cons**: As a Non-Profit organization, I have not found a way to manage voluntary workers. Not an issue for FTEs dependent employers. > > Overall experience has been great so far. (1 year) No bugs or issues to report on functionalities, features or general user experience. ----- ### "Zoho Benefits" — 5.0/5 > **Banashree** | *7 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho People has an intuitive interface, comprehensive HR features, and ease of use. The employee self-service portal, leave management, attendance tracking, and centralized employee records made day-to-day HR processes much more efficient. > > **Cons**: Our evaluation period was limited due to organizational changes, so we didn't have enough time to identify any major drawbacks. Based on our initial experience, the only challenge was that some configurations and advanced features had a learning curve. Otherwise, the platform appeared comprehensive and well suited to our needs. > > Although we were unable to fully utilize the platform due to organizational changes, our initial evaluation showed that it is a comprehensive and user-friendly HR management solution. We found the interface intuitive, and features such as employee records management, leave tracking, attendance management, and employee self-service appeared well-designed and suitable for our needs. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/436127/zoho-people?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/436127/zoho-people) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
