    Personio
    If you are an SMB or generally just a startup, Personio is a no-brainer for its intuitiveness and easy-to-get-started approach. Employees truly enjoy the UI and possibility to get an easy overview of its own data, not to mention processes to apply for vacations and absence etc. Absolutely recommended if your main focus for the new HR system is directed towards your employees.

    For an organization like ours, with staff at many different locations, it is extremely helpful. It also creates standardized workflows in all locations. Because the program is widely adopted, it is very helpful in that the training programs we have developed can be deployed at new locations. It is also helpful for different departments.

    Usability
    Personio
    Personio is an established HCM provider - for good reasons. In particular, for employees and managers, Personio is easy to use and allows for managers and employees to truly focus on what matters, in a modern and flexible way. There are certain points that could be improved in the overall administration of the system, in particular when it comes to integrations and old techstack - but this is the case really for all historical HCM providers. Personio is a solid tool and certainly recommended.

    Personio is much like HiBob, strong focus on the relationship between managers and employees. Very intuitive UX and UI - staying at the forefront of HCM. Sympa does better in terms of overall connectivity. Personio is a market leader for good reasons, solid and giving its customers good value for the investment.

    UKG is a beast. I feel like it is meant for organizations with 1000 employees or more instead of a few hundred. SmartLinx Solutions is a bit more down-to-earth.

    Return on Investment
    Personio
    • This program is complete, so it allows to have all the human resources management in the same panel, along with all the information of the employees, which streamlines the activities of the department, making us more productive. Employees feel more satisfied with our performance, and we have considerably lowered payroll complaints.
