"Intuitive HR Tool That Simplifies Processes, But Lacks Nett Salary Calculation"
What do you like best about Personio?

From my experience, Personio is a very user-friendly and well-structured HR tool. The interface feels intuitive — everything is where you’d expect it to be, which makes daily tasks quick and straightforward. I really appreciate how clearly the different functions are organized, so it’s easy to move between areas like recruiting, payroll, and employee management without getting lost. Easy of integration between across department

Overall, it’s a smooth and efficient system that helps simplify HR processes rather than making them more complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

that it doesn’t show or calculate the net salary directly. Having that option would make payroll management even more complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"How Personio improved our Company"
What do you like best about Personio?

I like the new layout of the page, it looks fresh and modernized compared to what the previous look of the page was giving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Contact with support is troublesome. Previously we had a dedicated contact point who took care of us whenever we encountered bugs/issues with the site. Currently this changed to a global contact help center - the response time is not satisfactory. There is also an aspect of bugs, for a couple of months now we successfully submitted plenty of bugs - way more than what we could have imagined comparing it to previous quarters. This unfortunately disrupts our internal processes like recruitment, hiring. We spend a lot of time trying to contact support and implement workarounds because we cannot waste time the when the bugs is resolved - candidates cannot wait, our onboarding progress cannot either.

"Personio, a must for every company."
What do you like best about Personio?

Personio is one of the best HR tools I have used so far. At first, I didn't have high expectations, but after using it daily for several years, it became easier and easier to work with. It greatly helps in organizing, documenting, and efficiently managing daily to-dos in the HR field.

What I particularly like is the ability to customize many things individually – for example, adding additional holidays for other countries, creating custom feedback cycles, or incorporating automatic calendar notifications. The integration of payroll functions and the clear presentation of all relevant data are also excellently implemented.

I actually like everything about Personio. For HR teams, it is a very well-designed tool and, in my opinion, could be used as standard software in companies worldwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

There is absolutely nothing negative, everything is very positive and promising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The HR Assistant"

I could add my login hours and absence with ease. No tension and wait time like email communication. I am able to use it regularly as a part of my work life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

So far I like all the features but I feel the UI can be upgraded a little bit but overall the the informations are provided that needs to be known by an employee and employer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean UI and Easy Timesheets, But Break Input Can Be Confusing"
What do you like best about Personio?

The UI is super clean.

I can add my time sheet easily and add in my breaks or edit previous days to correct mistakes.

I like that it has an organisation structure overview so I can see who is in my team and others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

sometimes it is a bit tricky to put in the right break times after I put in my hours. The two inputs for work and break time are a bit unintuitive. But kinda cool that I put in work 9 - 5 and a break at 12 -1 it will automatically split the work time input into two and then show the break in-between but this kinda looks messy to me. But I usually only take one break so not a big deal but if I am using the timer function this can make a massive amount of inputs and look overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and Student-Friendly HR Platform"
What do you like best about Personio?

As a working student, I really appreciate how customizable Personio is for part-time roles. I can easily plan my 20-hour work weeks, adjust my schedule when needed, and track my hours without any hassle. The interface is simple and user-friendly, and requesting time off or logging sick leave takes just a few clicks. The onboarding process through Personio was also smooth and well-structured, which helped me get up to speed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

I did experience a bug once while using the application, but the support team responded quickly and was helpful in resolving the issue. Other than that, I haven’t had major problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything you need to manage HR in a single tool"
What do you like best about Personio?

I've been using Personio for a short time, but there are aspects that have pleasantly surprised me. Firstly, the support during the implementation seems impeccable to me; in my case, the person assigned to help me (Mia) has been extremely helpful and makes you feel accompanied throughout the entire process. I also loved that it has everything you need in HR in a single tool, it seems quite intuitive and easy to use for all users, and I find it very positive that they are continuously improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

There are some processes that I have not been able to configure well or it has been very difficult and/or tedious to configure them because Personio is designed for each person to belong to only one department, have only one position, one supervisor, etc., and in our company, as it is young, it still happens that many of us hold several positions and have multiple supervisors.

"Efficient Employee Management, But UI Feels Outdated"
What do you like best about Personio?

We use Personio to manage all our employee data in one place. It makes applying for leave very easy, and we can quickly view the organization calendar and team hierarchy. Maintaining personal information is simple and efficient too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

The User Interface can be improved, and can be more interesting. Currently it looks like very old style website. Also the attendance part can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
