Personio Reviews & Product Details

I like the new layout of the page, it looks fresh and modernized compared to what the previous look of the page was giving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contact with support is troublesome. Previously we had a dedicated contact point who took care of us whenever we encountered bugs/issues with the site. Currently this changed to a global contact help center - the response time is not satisfactory. There is also an aspect of bugs, for a couple of months now we successfully submitted plenty of bugs - way more than what we could have imagined comparing it to previous quarters. This unfortunately disrupts our internal processes like recruitment, hiring. We spend a lot of time trying to contact support and implement workarounds because we cannot waste time the when the bugs is resolved - candidates cannot wait, our onboarding progress cannot either.

I could add my login hours and absence with ease. No tension and wait time like email communication. I am able to use it regularly as a part of my work life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I like all the features but I feel the UI can be upgraded a little bit but overall the the informations are provided that needs to be known by an employee and employer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is super clean.

I can add my time sheet easily and add in my breaks or edit previous days to correct mistakes.

I like that it has an organisation structure overview so I can see who is in my team and others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes it is a bit tricky to put in the right break times after I put in my hours. The two inputs for work and break time are a bit unintuitive. But kinda cool that I put in work 9 - 5 and a break at 12 -1 it will automatically split the work time input into two and then show the break in-between but this kinda looks messy to me. But I usually only take one break so not a big deal but if I am using the timer function this can make a massive amount of inputs and look overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a working student, I really appreciate how customizable Personio is for part-time roles. I can easily plan my 20-hour work weeks, adjust my schedule when needed, and track my hours without any hassle. The interface is simple and user-friendly, and requesting time off or logging sick leave takes just a few clicks. The onboarding process through Personio was also smooth and well-structured, which helped me get up to speed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did experience a bug once while using the application, but the support team responded quickly and was helpful in resolving the issue. Other than that, I haven’t had major problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Personio for a short time, but there are aspects that have pleasantly surprised me. Firstly, the support during the implementation seems impeccable to me; in my case, the person assigned to help me (Mia) has been extremely helpful and makes you feel accompanied throughout the entire process. I also loved that it has everything you need in HR in a single tool, it seems quite intuitive and easy to use for all users, and I find it very positive that they are continuously improving.

There are some processes that I have not been able to configure well or it has been very difficult and/or tedious to configure them because Personio is designed for each person to belong to only one department, have only one position, one supervisor, etc., and in our company, as it is young, it still happens that many of us hold several positions and have multiple supervisors.

I find the software straightforward and simple to use, particularly appreciating how most of my information comes prefilled. It provides a comprehensive overview of team structures and employee activities, including vacation schedules and birthdays, which I find essential for planning. Additionally, it is very helpful for clocking hours and scheduling vacations, which are mandatory tasks for me. I also like that the software is well-known and trusted by users.

I find the navigation in the software could use some improvements. Also, the contrast between icons, backgrounds, and some text is sometimes insufficient, making them hard to read. After branding with my company's color scheme, specifically with an all-green background, the contrast issue became more pronounced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have to say Personio is my go tool for planning, not sure if anyone else would agree! The calendar where you can see when everyone has a time off is a good trick to use when plannign ahead for capacity. You can see all the approved days off and also the holidays, no matter the deparment or the country for said holidays! Cool. I use it everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to find people based on connections, e.g. you want to see all of the people that someone is looking after.

Not so great calendar linking with confluence, you have to do a lot of manual steps... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience as a people manager, I’ve tried various solutions, but none compare to Personio. I appreciate its modern, intuitive interface and the notification system that keeps every request on track. The integrated calendar is especially useful—it allows me to quickly check if a teammate is absent, review upcoming time off across the entire team, and plan activities accordingly.

From a daily workflow perspective, I also value how all relevant tasks are clearly organized on the main dashboard, saving me time and eliminating the need to search for information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some roles need to be difened better, so the admin knows better to whom to give what in terms of permissions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personio excels at centralizing all employee data, which dramatically streamlines everything from onboarding new research assistants to managing departmental leave requests. I use it daily for every day activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting suite, while powerful, can be somewhat cumbersome for generating simple, ad-hoc reports without delving into custom configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
