"User-Friendly HR Platform with Efficient Features"
5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I use Personio for registering my attendance, checking the org chart, consulting my payee receipts, and communicating with HR, especially signing needed documents. I appreciate the user-friendly interface, allowing me to do many things fast. Registering attendance is quick since I set my hours weekly or bi-weekly, and it's easy to submit. I also find it convenient to get contact information and the structure of teams by just typing in a name on the org chart. This feature is particularly useful and a time-saver in a big organization like mine. The initial setup was super easy and fast, which made my onboarding experience smooth.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Maybe the display on the org chart can go more fluid but it's something that doesn't affect my day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined HR Data, Performance Reviews, and Workflows All in One Place"
4/5
What do you like best about Personio?

As an international organization, it's really nice to have all of our employee data stored in one place. Also with the ability to analyze data, pull reports, change information, etc. all in one place. The performance module is helpful for streamlining our performance review process across the entire company and maintaining accurate and detailed reviews for all performance reviews and performance concerns. The automations and workflows section also has helped us streamline our onboarding and offboarding workflows, making sure no steps get missed and we can delegate tasks to the relevant parties effortlessly. Lastly, I really enjoy the integrations possible to connect all systems to Personio without having to update data in multiple places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

It's quite a high cost, which is worth it but overall it is a very large budget item for us for HR. I also do think the reporting and analytics can be difficult at times to pull exactly what we need with some limitations. Also, their AI has given me incorrect information in the past so it's important to cross-check the information that it provides. Lastly, sometime the compensation can be difficult to pull when specific countries have nuances, for example holiday allowance in the Netherlands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive HR platform with open interfaces and fast support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

Very intuitive platform that can cover many HR areas. Additionally, it is open to interfaces. Since the restructuring of support, it has been very helpful, and you receive quick assistance with issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Depending on the account size, there are sometimes issues with speed. Also, for example, there is no way to generate feedback requests in the context of creating certificates or similar, and unfortunately, a few functions that would be very useful are missing. There is also room for improvement in the reports. The system does not calculate hourly wages itself, which is an important factor for annual financial statements, e.g., for vacation provisions.

"Intuitive Operation, Excellent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I appreciate the ease of use of Personio and the very good configurability, which allows us to consider every peculiarity of our 18 subsidiaries. The operation is intuitive and clearly structured. The customer support is absolutely top-notch; I quickly receive solutions to my support requests that are explained in a way that they can be implemented. The staff is extremely nice and friendly. The setup was unusual because you have to teach yourself the topics, but with the support of our contact person, everything worked out quickly and functioned from the start. Additionally, I am very satisfied with the interface to DATEV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Standard evaluations and standard processes, such as personnel requests or salary increases, must be possible in the product. I need sickness rates, average salaries, annual salaries, evaluations for annual financial statements, and vacation provisions that are easily retrievable. Currently, the analysis module is still too complex and some data cannot be evaluated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive overview and structured implementation – Data captured quickly and easily"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

The overview works well, the data is easy to enter, and it is intuitive. Suggestions for improvement seem to be implemented, and the implementation has taken place very well and in a structured manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Personio is sometimes slow, and you can tell that there is still room for improvement when it comes to time tracking. Here, I sometimes wish for simpler overviews (e.g., for missing entries) as an admin/manager, without having to click through each individual employee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple HR management and intuitive user interface"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I like the design and clarity of Personio, especially how the app is kept simple. I mostly appreciate the function of having a precise overview of my colleagues, who is present when, which is very helpful for personnel planning, both in terms of presence and absence. Just like the document management. Additionally, getting started with Personio is very easy, especially when you add more locations that you then integrate. You have to read up a bit at the beginning, but you are well supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

I think when importing files from Excel, it could be a bit smarter, perhaps with more AI so that the fields can be better matched or the content can be better recognized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive and user-friendly, perfect for large companies with various OpCos"
5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I find it great that Personio is very intuitive and user-friendly. You quickly find your way around, have everything at a glance, and it leaves little to be desired. Especially the analysis section is very well structured. You no longer have to pull lists and edit them in Excel, as the preset reports cover most requests. Even if I have to build an analysis myself, it works very well. The initial setup was difficult (but that was 6 years ago ;-) ), but now, when new OpCos are added, it's a breeze. Personio allows us to have all important data and facts at a glance and in one place. The interaction with payroll works excellently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

We sometimes have the problem that we are a very large company - with an international parent company, and not all requirements are always covered. In such cases, we sometimes have to improvise - but we always find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Structured Processes, Individual Adaptation"
5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I like about Personio that everything is designed very simply and intuitively, which makes it easier to use. The ability to customize everything individually is a big plus. I find the recruiting module particularly helpful because it operates in compliance with GDPR and we don't have to worry about deadlines. The process is optimally structured and connected to various job platforms, which increases the reach of our job offers. The personnel file is great because it moves us away from paperwork and everything is stored in one place. Everything is quickly accessible, and employees also have access to the most important information. The payroll module is great because we can handle almost the entire payroll ourselves and no longer need an external service provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

The performance module could be improved so that every type of employee can request feedback via a feedback form. Additionally, support in the payroll area could be a bit faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive All-in-One HR Tool That Scales with Your Needs"
4/5
What do you like best about Personio?

Personio brings together several key HR functions in one tool. It’s very intuitive and easy to get familiar with, even for non-tech people. You can build clear standards and continue to grow with the system as your needs evolve. The “back end,” especially the settings, is straightforward to manage and doesn’t require extensive tool knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

If you have multiple entities, it can get pretty hard to manage everything individually. You basically have to establish a standard that all entities need to follow, without exceptions. There are also some random bugs that are business-critical, and extra hours cannot be imported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive HR tool with challenges in payroll"
4/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I find the all-in-one package from Personio great, having everything in one place is super. It offers all employees the opportunity to acquire knowledge, and it's free. I stay well-informed about legal changes without having to dig through everything, which is important in my role. The regular newsletters automatically keep me up to date. The Personio Academy is also a plus, as it is accessible to every employee. The initial setup of Personio was not difficult, everything was well understandable and self-explanatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

The implementation of Personio Payroll was very challenging from my perspective, and sometimes there is still doubt whether all the information was entered correctly. It was advertised that Personio Payroll could be introduced without expertise. From my point of view, however, a lot of expertise was needed to fill in the Excel tables and execute all the entries properly. Otherwise, I don't really like the "Goals" tab and the associated goal management yet. The view here is very confusing and can still be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
