Is a great tool for HR areas and people in general. I would like it yo be more flexible in some aspects but they are always working on it! It's easy to use. You hace alternatives to help you do things faster such as payrolls

It's not scaling with the company and we might need to implement a new one.

Without proper notice, Personio decided to unprompted increase the number of seats we pay for. It's previously been on a model where we would pay for what we use, but at renewal they decided to sneak in a new model where they changed the contract to commit...
