### Most mentioned pros

- Personio is the main tool we use in the team, we request time of, track our attendance there, we can super easily access our paycheck and control all contract related informations
- For the German Market they are very adequate and they can handle complex payrolling and the different bureaucratic administrative requirements in German labour and law.
- 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.

### Most mentioned cons

- They sometimes lack specific localisation such as Netherlands holiday allowance.
- Lack of expense management, full payroll engine, historical data not very visual, T&D tab need more development.
- Unfortunately KPI tracking (for recruiting) is not a strength and a lot of data has to be drawn manually or cannot be tracked at all.

Difficult. I like it! Had some experience with Workdays in the company before and was at the beginning a kind of sad that little business has not the budget for such software. But now I am even happier because Personio not only is quiete as good - it is even better for small business purpose because it's less complex and allowes to stremline processes better for our needs.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It's HR Software with service for every employee, managers etc. - and so what I like most is, that nearly everybody likes to use it though we did not have much training effort. Big benefit (usualy) is as well, that Personio has an ongoing development nad gets even better every month.

#### Cons

Some "improvements" - especially in design - are not really steps forward but seem to complicate work - but usually respective suggestions are heared and drawn into account.

#### Reasons for choosing Personio

Originally becasue Personio was the only Provider with servers lokated in Germany (it was the time of the new data protection rules). And it was real SAS while one of the other products (the European one) would have to be customized with big effort (and costs)...

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### 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.

Our processes in recruiting and HR management have been streamlined and have become even more efficient.

#### Cons

I don't have any fundamental suggestions for improvement. Personio offers the possibility to map all HR processes in a user-friendly tool. Automations, workflows and task lists can be created quickly and easily, this reducing manual work for me.

### 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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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

- Reviewed: September 2025

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

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### 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

Our overall experience with Personio has been extremely positive. It has allowed us to digitize and streamline our processes and workflows in a way that has vastly increased our efficiency and the quality of our services as an HR department. Personio has enabled us to very quickly move all our core HR processes to the software and makes it possible for us to handle them in a much more efficient, user-friendly way. The software has also been a great help to our employees, who can take care of their HR tasks much easier now, as well as our team leaders and managers, who now have a better way of administrating and supervising their team and making sure all tasks are taken care of. Working together with Personio's implementation and key account managers, as well as their customer support team, has always been a great experience. Personio provides extensive support, guidance and best practices which help in further improving workflows and customizing the software for each individual company. Overall, with its variety of features, Personio has opened countless ways for us to optimize our processes and offer better services, and has enabled us as HR to transform from a department preoccupied by administrative tasks to a true strategic partner.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

We greatly appreciate all of the features Personio offers, and actively use the entire range of tools and features. In terms of core HR processes, one of the most instant and most significant benefits of using Personio was the easy administration of personnel data and the absence management. Everyone in our company, from employees to managers to members of the HR team, has benefitted tremendously from Personio's user-friendly absence management features, which all our employees use regularly. Both our HR and Accounting departments profit from the extensive reporting features, which we use to create monthly, quarterly or annual reports on all relevant personnel data. This function is also appreciated by our managers, who can gain quick overviews on key figures with just a few clicks. Apart from the administrative features, it is mainly Personio's recruiting tool which has impacted our HR processes in an extremely positive way. Creating and publishing job ads, managing applications and communicating with applicants has never been so easy, and is enabling us to manage our recruiting workflows in a way that is sure to leave a positive impression on applicants. All in all, Personio has greatly improved our HR processes and, along with this, improved the working lives of all internal stakeholders.

#### Cons

Since we are a global company, our aim is to roll out Personio internationally to all our subsidiaries in different countries around the world. In this regard, we are doing a certain amount of pioneer work, as the system is not yet completely perfected for international use and some features or special configurations are not yet part of the software. Therefore, we need to align the requirements of our international subsidiaries with the features currently available in the software and, in some cases, find workarounds. Personio has provided great support in this process and has been able to provide solutions to the vast majority of topics we dealt with.

We've ad a great time so far with Personio for our HR work. We first set it up when the company was a lot smaller, and it's held together very well during our expansion. It has a very simplistic interface which is a big positive for us, the reporting features work well, and the ATS module is very detailed and has a lot of advanced features. 10/10 would recommend.

The interface is much more up to date than the other tools we evauated. This made it a lot easier for us to start using it fully in te beginning, and has made it easy to maintain since. Other than that, we really enjoy the automated workflows for setting up alerts, emails, etc.

#### Cons

It was missing a couple integrations that we really wanted, and there's the odd bug here and there, but we don't really have anything too big to complain about

Actually, as a fast-growing company 2 years ago, we were just looking for a recruiting solution and found Personio. Already during the two-week test phase we had all our employees with many individual attributes live on their own and only on the basis of the educational Videos. We now have a vast variety of templates so we can do a lot of manual work more efficiently through Personio and focus on strategic HR topics. And this, although we do not use some features because they do not fit our processes, such as Performance or payroll.

#### Cons
