Everhour vs. Zoho People

Everhour is useful in every environment where you need the measure of time for certain tasks. In most cases, this could be project management but it could also include trips or travels, conferences, congresses, or several other things that you need to take control of the time used. Its less appropriate if you are going to measure things in weeks or days, it's better to measure smaller pieces of time like minutes of hours, so you could have a more useful metrics to work with.

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 has a genius dashboard with all real-time traffic information of all team members. It is a very useful tool as well to track efficiency for both in-house and remote team members
• It has well-done integration with Asana (and other task-managers) which allows you to track time on tasks without switching between apps or tools which it truly awesome
• It has a scheduling tool which allows you to plan long term traffic of all your team members by using Asana projects and tasks so there is no need to copy and paste the same story points between different systems
• It has flexible reporting system which allows you to build very custom project time tracking report based on your needs (any field or table type can be customized and you wish)

• 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.

• An integration with the desktop version of Asana would be useful, as many of our employees use that version.
• A reminder when a task has been running for a while would be useful too, as the user could have forgotten to turn off the timer
• Multiple tasks running simultaneously would be useful, as many times we solve some problems while we are reunited or complete some tasks while other processes are running.

• 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

Everhour's overall usability is definitely one of its key strengths. The UI is intuitive and clean, making time tracking feel less "technical" than other solutions we've tried. Our entire team, including less tech-savvy contractors, found it easy to use.

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.

In the almost 2 1/2 years we have had to contact support 1 time and it really was for a feature request. Their support team responded quickly and told us that the feature was going to be added in the next few months. We have had no support issues ever. I have never had a time tracking solution that has had no issues until Everhour.

Because Zoho is perfect in all aspects.

When evaluating other systems, we compared Everhour against Toggl Track and JIRA. Toggl Track offered robust reporting but felt too feature-heavy for our contractor management needs. It was also a bit more difficult to use. JIRA's time tracking, while powerful for development teams, was overly complex for us and had too much overhead.

One of the innovative CRM software products on the market is Zoho People. Compared to Salesforce and SugarCRM, Zoho People comes up to their standards. Zoho People is an integrated suite of CRM tools that allows small businesses to work more efficiently. Zoho People is a better platform for managing HR and other human resource management. And it's a cost-effective solution for start-ups.

• Simplifies end-of-month billing processes and reduces manual entry
• Quicker team onboarding due to consistent time tracking structure between Asana & Everhour
• Improved productivity due to Asana integration as tasks can be reassigned and tracked by multiple team members, regardless of who is assigned to the task (good for collaboration between team members)

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.
