Pros

“We have implemented Pento in our company 6 months ago and since we absolutely love it. It is super easy to use, has a friendly interface and has a great customer support team.”

Sorin N.

Finance Operations Manager

“The product is great and the team are super helpful. New updates being made every so often so you can see that there is still more to come so exciting to see where it goes.”

Cath P.

Head of Finance

“Best in class support for both product issues and technical payroll queries (quick response and resolution). Easy to use (month to month payroll adjustments have never been so easy to amend).”

Connor P.

Finance Lead

Cons

“Sometimes the pensions integration is dodgy or there are bugs that we spot in auditing and have to ask pento to fix.”

Georgina S.

Head of HR

“E.g. not so easy to see when an employee is due to be auto enrolled in pension. I now know how to see this but It was missed for the first few months which caused extra work.”

Cicely M.

Head of People

“However, the customer service makes up for any confusion as they will quickly respond with the right way to do things.”
