Simple, easy to access and interface is quite user-friendly.
PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

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.
