ScheduleFly vs. Zoho People

ScheduleFly is well suited for small or large businesses. We have around ten employees, and this works great! If you had a much smaller group to manage/schedule, you might not need something as complex and detailed. For larger groups, this would be perfect and well worth the cost for a subscription.

Zoho People is well suited for organizations where they need a self service HR tool for tasks like attendance, leave management and time tracking. It is perfect for offices where employees like to work independently and benefit from easily accessing and managing their own HR records. But it is less suitable where internet is an issue or GPS is unavailable which makes the process of check-in/check-out frustrating.

• It works on your cell phone, which is wonderful! Our workers always have their schedules on hand and easily accessible.
• ScheduleFly works in real-time, so changes and updates are immediate across all platforms
• I love the message wall. If someone wants to find a replacement or swap hours, they can do so.

Incentivized

• The time-tracking feature is really helpful, and it's great that you can use that feature from the app.
• We also use Zoho Recruit for applications, so Zoho People was a logical choice for managing HR information for our staff and members, and the two integrate really well together.

Incentivized

• It can be costly, depending on the size of your team/staff.
• Can be complicated and hard for older audience to adapt to and get used to
• There are some extra features like the weather that aren't necessary and busy up the program.

Incentivized

• Check in and GPS issues - The app sometimes struggles with location detection during check-in which delays logging in
• Limited offline access - Zoho People should have had an offline functionality making it difficult for employees to check in or log hours when internet connection is an issue
• Clunky user interface - I personally find the interface bit too cluttered which makes navigation difficult

I gave Zoho People this rating due to its overall usability as it provides a strong platform for essential HR tasks like leave management, time tracking and attendance making it a self service platform for employees to easily access and manage records independently and saving time but 3 points less due to its check-in/check-out issues when the GPS or internet is an issue. Also the interface feels cluttered.

I have never had to use support directly. Still, I love that even though they seem to be a smaller group that runs it, they are very personable in their email correspondence and supply phone numbers and contact information in case we are ever in a bind. It's nice to know that we have the option to contact them and will get personal support if we need it.

Because Zoho is perfect in all aspects.

ScheduleFly had a lot of extra features that some of the other scheduling software didn't offer. For example, one of the big draws of ScheduleFly was the ability to switch shifts right in the app. Workers continually need to make changes to their schedules, and it can add a lot of time to our plates as we try to put the puzzle together and make sure all shifts are covered. ScheduleFly gives workers a chance to makeshift and schedule changes on their own and leave leadership out of the picture. I love the display and organization of ScheduleFly too! It just seems a lot more organized and put together than some of the other ones we explored.

• Keeps everyone organized, which makes the workplace more effective and well-staffed.
• The older staff doesn't adapt to the program as well and makes things difficult and added a lot of time on our plate to train.
• Great way to communicate between staff!

Incentivized

• Reduces the need for additional systems like time-tracking, excess excel spreadsheets and even HR training itself with their training resources.
• Streamlines assessment of data and categorizes leave, on-boarding and other data logically which decreases time spent searching and separating.
• Customization of forms and surveys is extremely useful and saves effort looking elsewhere for templates.
