Optimize talent management with modular features but needs better reporting
There are difficulties regarding the reporting part. While we have some reporting functionalities, they are not powerful or deep. For instance, the coverage report on a specific effective date provides data effective on the day of the report, which is a significant limitation. Additionally, the available APIs, both inbound and outbound, are not well-developed, preventing the creation of accurate interfaces with other systems. There is also a need to review the reporting infrastructure to build a data lake that would allow customers to access data regardless of the effective date of the information. Moreover, the silos between the different modules need to be removed. Ideally, one would want a report that provides information at the same time from performance and compensation.

Simplicity in configuration enhances performance management discussions
Zoho People has valuable features like simplicity in use and ease of configuration. The performance management feature is particularly good as it provides flexibility in managing performance cycles. It allows the measurement of various aspects like KPIs, goals, and competency skills. It also helps in plotting the nine-box grid, which is crucial for performance and talent management discussions.
