Pros:

The interface is just great and easy to digest. Functionalities are not hidden and one can easily discover them without additional sources. Recruitment, calendars, tracking, all of these things are solved in Personio.

Cons:

Some colleagues had their calendar days mixed up after an update. However, there are not so many things to complain about, little tweaks are needed here and there.

All-in-One HR Solution That Scales with Us

We’ve been using Personio for over two years and it’s been a great improvement. Before, we relied on multiple tools to cover what Personio now offers in one place. Having everything consolidated — from employee records to time off management — makes our processes much more efficient. We also appreciate how easily it integrates with other tools like our expense management software.

Pros:

The platform is easy to navigate with a great user experience. We love how it gives a clear overview of all colleagues across the company — it really helps us stay connected and organized.

Cons:

Nothing major, the newest updates in the design look good but I need to learn how to walk through it. Overall, Personio works very well for our needs.

Reasons for switching to Personio

We were glad with personio, and wanted to integrate our process in one software to gain efficiency and reduce costs.

A simple tool for a simple life

Personio is a simple tool with everything you need right at hand. The main screen has a summary of everything (dates, documents, and events), and it is possible to go inside each one of these screens and find more detailed information about them.

Pros:

It's a nice tool for keeping records and documentation regarding our interactions with the company.

Cons:

It could have a little more information regarding the team (from the perspective of a team member, not the supervisor)

Reasons for switching to Personio

Personio was the HR application used by the mother corporation, so everything was migrated there.

A practical HR-Tool that simplifies everyday processes

Overall, I’m very satisfied with Personio. It really makes HR processes smoother and saves a lot of time, both for me as an employee and for the company as a whole. Even though there are small areas for improvement, the positives clearly outweigh the negatives. I can definitely recommend Personio to any growing company that wants an efficient and transparent HR solution.

Functionality

Pros:

What I really like about Personio is how it brings so many HR processes together in one place. Things like vacation requests, time tracking, and payroll are all much easier to handle, both for employees and for HR itself. The interface is clean and intuitive, so you don’t need a long learning curve to get started. I also appreciate the transparency it creates — I can see my vacation days, documents, and payslips anytime without having to ask HR.

Cons:

On the downside, some features can feel a bit slow or clunky, especially when it comes to loading times or switching between sections. Also, the reporting functions could be more flexible — sometimes you wish you had a bit more customization. And while the software covers most core processes, a few smaller workflows still have to be done manually.

Solid for payroll, but clunky for other HR needs

Overall, we're happy, but we use other additional tools for HR processes like onboarding, offboarding, hiring.

Functionality

Pros:

- Payroll is easy to set up and runs smoothly with minimal effort - Simple connection with our tax advisor and straightforward document sharing with the team - Time off, absence, and sick leave management works very well

Cons:

- Other features are difficult to use and not very flexible - Onboarding and offboarding are heavy processes with limited customization. e.g. once an item is checked, it cannot be unchecked. Only templates are available, so every new employee requires a new template (no way to add additional tasks) - Navigation is tricky and often unintuitive - Support is complicated, only the owner can contact them, not even an admin
