"Solid HR solution with strong usability"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

The user interface is intuitive and easy to understand. The support responds quickly, and the history is clearly presented. I also find it particularly helpful to have the ability to flexibly adapt workflows and permissions to one's own requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

What I like less is that some functions are still limited in depth and not all processes can be mapped flexibly. Additionally, some modules or settings seem somewhat confusing, so the configuration takes more time, especially at the beginning, until you find your way around.

"Completely clear and easy to handle for the whole team"
5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I like that Personio offers everything in one place, where both our HR department and management, as well as employees, can access it. I particularly appreciate the ability to manage vacation days, absences, and time tracking in daily business. The filing function for contract and salary documents, performance records, employee interviews, and salary developments is very helpful. The corresponding reporting functions make further optimization easier for HR and management. Additionally, it is very easy to handle and intuitive to use, which is a big plus. Personio requires no extensive training and the connection to DATEV for payroll accounting is also advantageous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

For very small companies, Personio might be too powerful and therefore also too expensive. You really have to want to use it with all its features so that it is not just a simple storage tool. The setup requires some time and must be thoroughly thought out until all rights & roles, working time models, onboarding/offboarding templates, etc. are stored, even though there is assistance and plenty of support articles available for this.

"Intuitive platform with efficient recruiting & improvable support"
4/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I really like the intuitive, clearly structured, and logically designed user interface of Personio. I also appreciate the wide range of applications that can be added modularly. Everything is in one tool, even if our requirements change. Additionally, I find the data protection compliance and the professional as well as efficient recruiting with Personio really valuable. Finally, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Personal support contact that helps quickly and concretely (telephone hotline, chat with screen sharing). No constant price increases. Support staff should be HR experts and not only provide technical answers but also demonstrate HR expertise and workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive operation with room for individual customization – also via app"
4/5
What do you like best about Personio?

Intuitive handling, plenty of room for individual customization. Possibility of use via the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Performance problems occur from time to time, but they are resolved quite quickly. Sometimes, however, there is some stubbornness in the implementation of legal regulations, e.g., maternity protection and parental leave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, powerful, and feature-rich – with seamless HR integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

easy handling, intuitive interface, and many functions combined in one system. The performance can accordingly be assessed as high and mostly reliable. Integrations with common tools and applications in the HR field are seamlessly possible. I can't make a price comparison, but I usually find the price-performance ratio to be reasonable. The onboarding is professionally set up, the support usually works well, but sometimes you have to wait longer for answers and after completing the onboarding, you no longer have a direct contact person. The AI function is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

The payroll application still needs optimization and expansion, as a few functions are still missing and for some things, one relies on support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized HR Management with User-Friendly Interface"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I use Personio to store all my important documents, track attendance, and manage leaves. I really appreciate how it centralizes everything in one place, making it easy for me to manage my documents, attendance, and leave tracking very simply. The user interface is very friendly. The centralization helps a lot as I don't have to search emails or different systems to find important documents like my college degree, passport, or Aadhaar card. Everything is stored in one place, which saves time and reduces confusion. The initial setup is very easy and straightforward. Basic configuration like adding personal details, uploading documents, and setting up attendance and leaves was easy to manage. Overall, it is a very useful and reliable tool for managing documents and keeping things organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Sometimes it responds slow when dealing with large data. I remember I uploaded all my documents in one zip file, which was a little large, and it took a lot of time to upload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick login, clarity, and timer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

The lunch break is not accounted for until after 6 hours, this could be changed so that the timer does not have to be stopped after 8:30, but after the regular 8 hours (half an hour break deducted). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive use, fully automated HR processes"
5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I like the intuitive use of Personio and the ability to administer it myself and adapt it to our needs. It eliminates manual processes and enables full automation of all HR processes, so no more Excel lists or reminders are needed. Personio is constantly evolving, with product updates released monthly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

When new modules are implemented, they were sometimes not yet mature enough to have the full range of functions and/or unfortunately also contained bugs. The rapid development of Personio has the advantage of quickly getting the changes you might need, but it also carries the risk of missing something; you have to actively follow all the changes.

"Effortless Document Management and Leave Tracking"
5/5
What do you like best about Personio?

I used Personio to store all my documents in one place, which I really appreciate. Tracking leave is very easy, and it’s convenient to apply and track leaves. I also like that my company can easily access the personal information I provide. Keeping all my personal documents safe and easily accessible is a big plus for me. The high level of security, where only I can access my documents, is something I value. Personio makes it easy to access documents like contracts, ID proofs, and policy acknowledgements and avoid the risk of losing important files or searching through emails and folders. The initial setup was very easy due to the better user interface of Personio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Certain modules like payroll or time tracking could be more advanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
