Man erhält immer schnell Hilfe und Antwort bei Problemen. Personio ist stetig in der Weiterentwicklung. Cons Bisher noch keine Nachteile erkennbar. Es ist alles tip top. Review Source KP Kamilla P. Recruiter Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for the low budget start ups with the job posting under 10" December 13, 2022 5.0 Decent, for the price is okay Pros Intuitive, easy to access. Also very user friendly from the perspective of candidates and employees Cons Reporting needs improvement, cannot undo certain actions Review Source KB Ksenia B. People & Culture Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's ok, it works" April 11, 2022 3.0 Pros it has the basic requirements that work well good rights management Cons only basic requirements when it comes to Onboarding and Reports (can't name these analytics) for this price would like to see much more Reason for choosing Personio it was the best on the market back then Review Source AG Arlit G. Corporate Development Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Immer eine gute Wahl" December 2, 2022 4.0 Pros Sehr flexibel und intuitiv in der Handhabung Cons Eine bessere Zeiterfassung und Dienstplan würden die Sache abrunden. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very solid Software which meets basic HR requirements" July 5, 2019 5.0 We managed as a startup to setup HR processes for the first time, even with limited resources. Personio covers our daily needs. Pros \- implementation process quality - saving a lot of HR & team resources - digital documentation of all HR processes (recruiting, sick days, holidays..) - improving employee retention Cons \- no compelling usability - UI/UX not state of the art and very "German" - no relevant improvements over time Reason for choosing Personio Direct recommendation Review Source Dr. Martin B. Global Director of Talent Management / Head of HR Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent value for money and world-class CSM team!" August 2, 2018 4.0 We really managed to establish the foundation of HR compliance thanks to Personio. A huge step forward in terms of organizational growth. Pros It is super fast to implement, has no slow back-end and allows you to work with all the stuff you need to scale your organization. It allows a lot of good self-service workflow steps to make life in HR much easier. Cons A bit weak on the reporting side, especially when it comes to the recruiting function.

Personalreferentin Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Personio, unser Retter im Tagesgeschäft" March 22, 2024 5.0 Pros Einfachheit Übersichtlichkeit Intuitiv Leicht zu verstehen Cons das wir noch nicht alle Funktionen nutzen Review Source Christian B. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Price increase of more than 30%!" October 18, 2019 4.0 Pros It is really a great software with many very good features and finally a good interface design. Cons The software is constantly being further developed and regularly has new functionalities. A price increase is justified. But a price increase of more than 30% from one day to the next is very unusual and annoying. Especially, because the software was not one of the cheapest tools even before the price increase. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CIO Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One Stop HR Management Platform" September 9, 2019 5.0 So far we are very happy with the introduction of Personio in our company. One main point to mention about this platform was the very appealing introduction we received as well as the following onboarding. Especially as a small company with not much experience in HR recruiting, the software helped us to improve our HR processes tremendously. Pros Streamlined processes like absence management, time tracking, recruiting management just to name a few that we currently use. Especially the integration of self service in combination with absence management has been a huge time saver for us. Great customer success team that helped us get started and working with the platform right away. Very proactive and customer oriented approach. Cons Sometimes input fields seem inconsistent with their datatypes (especially Date and Number fields) but the team of Personio seems ambitious to resolved reported issues as soon as possible. UI could be nicer but it is still a business product. Review Source MF Mélanie F. SDR Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Persionio Review" February 6, 2023 4.0 Pros Sa facilité d´utilisation. Pouvoir retrouver contrat et fiche de paie en 1 click Cons L´application mobile est très limitée. Et pour voir les vacances des uns et des autres, ce n´est pas très intuitif Review Source TW Thea W. HR Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "amazing software, amazing service" November 3, 2021 5.0 Pros I am more than happy. Personio understands the daily need of our HR needs and the support is amazong Cons I m happy. Maybe the price but on the end I need a good support and this costs. Review Source JR Jennifer R. Personalreferentin Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sehr intuitives Tool mit vielen Möglichkeiten" March 20, 2024 5.0 Pros \- sehr intuitiv - deckt alle HR Bereiche ab - einfach Handhabung Cons \- es können nicht alle Eventualitäten abgedeckt werden (kann aber kein HR Tool) Review Source AD Andrea D. Administrative assistant Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Made my job much easier!" March 2, 2022 4.0 Great Pros How everything can be done in one place and the level of automation that is constantly improved. Cons There are still some things missing in the setup that could be improved greatly. Reason for choosing Personio Start up feel of Personio, supporting small business, price Review Source EL Elena L. Head of People & Culture Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best HRIS in Germany" September 9, 2019 5.0 Pros It's the best HRIS that I've tried so far. It has tons of features, attributes and process that we can customize according to our needs. The support is very fast, helpful and friendly. Cons Sometimes it is a bit complicated to use, but it comes with all the features and configuration possibilities. I am missing a couple of features, like an overview of the employee's promotions/titles and reports indicating promotions. Switched from [HeavenHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/155046/HeavenHR/) Higher number of employees, need to configure the product according to our needs, ob- and offboarding processes.

HR Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review after great customer service experience | found the right report" October 22, 2021 3.0 ok Pros high usability (compared to other software) Cons A lot of things still in development, still nedds workarounds and problems are not solved Reason for choosing Personio I used to work with other software in former companies. Personio has one of the highest usabilities. Review Source DT Dilara T. HR Generalist Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ich arbeite sehr gerne mit Personio" July 14, 2021 5.0 Pros gesamte Darstellung und die Menge an Funktionen Cons Erinnerungen können nur an Attribute gebunden werden, Performancebereich sollte bald weiter ausgerollt werden Review Source KL Kathleen L. OM, HR & EA Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We love this product!" September 13, 2019 5.0 We use Personio for daily HR tasks, payroll and recruiting. I find the tool fairly easy to navigate and I really like the recruitment feature. So, the tool itself is really good. My favorite part about using Personio is the Customer Service/Technical Support Team. Any time I have a question or request, I normally get an immediate, friendly, very professional response. They are always helpful and when the CS representative I am speaking to cannot help me, they always connect me to someone who can. I would say Personio's Customer Service/Technical Support Team is one of their greatest assets. Keep up the excellent work! Pros I love the recruiting and payroll features. Cons It is difficult to understand how the tool calculates, e.g. vacation days. I have made the same mistake a few times with manually adjusting vacation days for on-call work. Review Source SB Sebastian B. Geschäftsführer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Glorified database" February 22, 2020 3.0 This software was bought to help with payroll. In the end, it just became a database to store employee information. Payroll is much to susceptible to errors to be relied on. My pet peeve is that when one of many critical fields is not filled in, the employee is simply left out of the payroll without comment. Pros \-pretty design -comprehensive onboarding -friendly support team Cons \-missing sanity checks -convoluted layout -not customisable enough Alternatives considered [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/)[Workday HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/66908/Workday-HCM/) Reason for choosing Personio I needed a customisable product that didn't need specialised consultants to set up Review Source Christian F. Co-Founder & COO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great help in everyday HR work." February 12, 2019 5.0 Pros \- We at ORDA use Personio over one and a half years now and by now this tool has become an essential part of all of our HR processes. Therefore we can highly recommend the product. Cons \- In the beginning there were some usability issues which are mostly resolved by now. Review Source DW Dennis W. Head of HR Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One stop shop for HR" June 19, 2017 5.0 Best bang for the buck, period. Saves LOTs of time. No need for different tools. Extremely adaptable. Scales well with the company. Pros \- Covers almost ALL aspects of HR -- recruitment (complete ATS system) -- hr administration: -- onboarding, offboarding, documents, absences, time tracking, performance management (basic), rights & role management, user self service, approval settings, etc... - lots of possibilities to adapt to own needs - very good onboarding process and customer success - very good value for the money Cons \- needs some time to get to know all features - UX is getting better, but not the strong suit of personio - performance management rather basic Review Source MB Marko B. Employee Experience Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good value for the price" February 2, 2024 3.0 Pros Personio does the job when it comes to basic HR needs. Integrations with other platforms worked great Cons UX and UI are okay but could be much better Lack of flexibility when it comes to part + full time employees Reporting issues and mistakes are frequent Review Source Joseph M. Sales and Partnerships Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review of Personio Software" August 6, 2018 4.0 Personio is great as it is simple to use and has powerful funcionality. Pros The Personio software was really easy to get acquainted with. We had a short on-boarding with our company and afterwards everything was clear and easy to start with. The interface is very clean and easy to understand and as an employee it is clear when there are tasks that I need to complete. It is also really easy to request vacation and even choose a replacement directly in Personio. I also really like the fact you can easily integrate your entire teams holidays in Google Calendar - this helps a lot! Cons The security of the software is very high and so I often get asked to fill in a security token when I get my password wrong. Not a con per se - just be sure to keep knowledge of your password! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Tech writer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not sure if it really solves many issues as an employee " December 18, 2022 3.0 Pros As a user (employee) I don’t see a big difference with any other software for time tracking and absence control. Cons The time tracking feature is very manual. I mean, you have to enter the time, there is no clock that you simply click to clock in or out. Review Source Jonas S. Recruiter + Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Top Service" March 20, 2022 3.0 Medium Pros A lot can be integrated. And they have well trained service. Cons A lot. e.g. you wait 5 Minutes for support. Every week there are 3 to 4 bugs and technical issues.... Review Source LB Lana B. Learning and Development Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gutes Programm für gesamtheitliche HR-Zwecke" March 20, 2024 4.0 Pros Die unterschiedlichen Arbeitsbereiche, sowohl für allgemeine Verwaltung (MA-Profil, Krankheit, Urlaub) als auch in Kombi mit dem gesamten Employee-Life-Circle (Recruiting, Performance, Feedback) Cons Einige Zusatztools könnten noch mehr Funktionen haben Review Source Similar Products Featured
