Enable or set up IP restrictions for employees to check-in and out. You can import data from a biometric device into the Zoho People system. Employees can apply for leave and track time directly from the mobile app. They can also log time, create timesheets and simply associate them with your clients in Zoho CRM.
Customizable Forms
To give you complete control, we give you customizable forms to cater to your business needs. Choose from a range of pre-built forms or if the need arises, you can build a form from scratch, using just drag and drop. No coding knowledge needed to build a form on your own.
Intelligent Automation

For HR, completing business processes is time consuming through a whole lot of back and forth communication with various departments. With Zoho People's automation tools - checklists, approvals, workflows and reminders you can complete processes seamlessly.
Employee Portal & Self-service
Our software enables you to step away from manually updating spreadsheets and instead, maintain all your HRIS data in a single location.The employee portal in ZPeople is a people finder and the self service portal lets your employees share ideas and information, their abilities, performances and, collaborate with their team in real-time.

Best app for your employees
Non intrusive, robust and easy to use hr tool.
Your One-Stop HR Portal
I really like the features that it has and that it is easy to use. I would definitely invest in it if I had my own company.
As usual with ZoHo - A good idea that's not working out
(I ran out of room in the "What did i like least) section.. so I'll continue here)
The many many times I contacted support they were very slow to respond, unhelpful, and more than a little condescending...
Many times I wound up skipping customer support and contacting the sales representative who was trying to get me to use the software (he was financially motivated to help me)
Overall - Zoho People is an unrefined, difficult to use and poorly supported piece of software. I wish it weren't so! But.. alas...
All in one reporting and lerning tool
Overall experience is good. I do get notifications once my request is approved by my manager. I have access to all my company process, news, updates and policy on a single interface through this software.

Best app for your employees
Pros
This app is great for companies that don't have a clock in/out system, a file repository per each employee for HR documents and a company calendar with events or things that will be done in the company per employee. It's a valuable resource since it also provides geolocation limits so you can check where your employees are clocking in and out and securely host important documents like tax forms for your employees. You can also use it to tabulate the work hours an employee has made for the week or month and export it for you to use with any payroll programs. You can also keep track of personal days, vacation days and sick days. This is basically the best suit for managing employees. It has a mobile app as well! So you can clock in and out or view your documents on the go.
Cons
The mobile app can be a little buggy sometimes, they patch it a lot. But the geolocation feature, it's a little buggy since they've done improvements, because in the past you could spoof the location by faking the GPS coordinates, but now you cannot do that since it does some work with the IP Addresses to triangulate where you are, but sometimes it gets the location of the ISP and not from where you are, so sometimes you will have problems checking in and out.
Zoho Peoples Review
It is marginal over all
Pros
They have a lot of HR related resources pre-configured, time sheet and check-in/out services
Cons
not able to configure the time sheets to match our payroll cycle, it's only based on a bi-monthly or monthly calendar only. They take over 24 hrs to respond to any assistance needed

I really like the features that it has and that it is easy to use. I would definitely invest in it if I had my own company.
Pros
It's like having my own personal HR administrator on my laptop. Easy to use, to find documents or information that I need and to record information. Very easy to keep track of my working hours whilst working from home during the pandemic and the mobile app is fantastic.
Cons
Its kind of hard to use from an administration perspective initially, but once you get used to it - its much easier.

Overall - Zoho People is an unrefined, difficult to use and poorly supported piece of software. I wish it weren't so! But.. alas...
Pros
There's a lot of conceptual things to like about zoho people - as with most Zoho products out there (And believe me.. I have tried just about all of them) There are a lot of great ideas..
Zoho promises the ability to track time, integrate with Zoho projects, track and measure performance, create employee profiles and in short manage every aspect of your employees.
As i'll describe below - these things don't actually pan out the way they should.
Since I have to pick one thing I like most about this software (That isn't theoretical) I would say it's ability to (almost) easily integrate with other zoho platforms - notably the various messaging systems
Cons
Zoho People is like every other Zoho software I have ever used - Too good to be true.
What makes most of the zoho software so attractive seems to stem from two things...
1. The price is always fantastic
2. The marketing team is clearly miles ahead of the development team (in other words, it looks better than it is)
With specific regard to Zoho people.. to start with, you definitely feel like you need to be a developer to set it up.
They have pretty extensive support documentation but it's often out of date - and at least a half dozen times I went to the documentation and found it was missing the specific problem/issue or feature I was trying to figure out.
Zoho people uses a lot of labels for things that aren't adequately explained which oftens leaves the user thinking that they are doing one thing.. only to find out they aren't.
An easy example is that you can have employees, or users - and sometimes employees are users, but not always.. I wish I could tell you more about it but honestly I have no idea what it means.
If you manage to get any pieces of this software set up, you will find that the functionality is more limited than planned. It doesn't integrate well with things like projects and it always seems to be lacking that ONE feature you really needed.. (for me, it was project task time tracking)

Overall experience is good. I do get notifications once my request is approved by my manager. I have access to all my company process, news, updates and policy on a single interface through this software.
Pros
Its highly secured as it need a otp to login into the accounts. The training manuals and learning database could be created so that the employees get the access to these information with ease.
Cons
I found the interface bit confusing. It could be modified a bit created it more user friendly. Getting tbe list of holidays within the calender was bit difficult and took my time to find it.
