Provide performance management and HR operations but lacks AI capabilities
Using PeopleStrong, uploading modules, and downloading reports was very easy. The process was hassle-free and user-friendly. We use PeopleStrong for performance management and HR operations, such as storing data and handling documentation when a new person joins the company. For learning and…

Offers a very competitive pricing model but needs to offer flexibility
In my company, we are going down with the implementation service because it is too much of a hassle. If you are supporting European-based companies being located in another location, Zoho is not flexible. As a vendor, you cannot support European business in Asia. You need to be a European vendor to support European business in Asia, and I gave Zoho feedback already that it doesn't make sense as the European vendor who's not on the ground in Asia does not understand the requirements in Asia. As per Zoho, the European vendor makes a joint venture with a local vendor in Asia, and then they do the project together, but I feel that no customer will pay for such complexity. The only challenge is if you are a European business based in Asia and you want to have your data on an EU server, it is a nightmare. The tool should offer more flexibility in areas like attendance. Its features are okay. The solution needs more reporting tools. I should be able to choose where to store the data since, as a European business, you are obliged to store your data in Europe.
