The written short answer is being updated after a re-evaluation. The scores below are current.

Read this comparison as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The IT Integrator

Owns identity and has to make the HR system the source of truth for accounts. Wants SCIM provisioning, SSO that is not an enterprise upsell, and an API with documentation rather than a partner form. Judges onboarding by whether it can create the account, not by whether it has a checklist.

Criterion by criterion

Digital personnel file & data model

Haufe Talent

A module named 'Haufe Digitale Personalakte' is confirmed to exist, and that is the entire evidence: no org chart, no custom fields, no effective-dated history, no permissions model. A system I'm supposed to make the source of truth for accounts shows me nothing about its data model, so it sits below the anchor that at least documents upload and record structure.

rexx systems

The digital personnel file carries full historization and revision-safe archiving behind role rights and an audit trail, document generation with digital signature, batch scanning, and an organisation module that manages subsidiaries — that is what I want in a source of truth. We found no public information on effective-dated contract and compensation history or granular field-level permissions, which is the difference between a good file and one I can drive identity from.

Payroll handoff

Haufe Talent

No payroll path is stated anywhere — no DATEV, no Lohn und Gehalt, no export format, no mid-month change handling. Steuer Office is a product for tax advisors, not a handoff from the HR suite, so as far as this sheet goes, nothing leaves cleanly at all.

rexx systems

DATEV is a first-class path, not a form: official DATEV interface partner covering Lohn und Gehalt and LODAS, bidirectional, moving master data by change-based delta transfer plus variable pay, absences and social-security joiner/leaver documents, with payslips imported monthly into employee self-service. Connections to ADP, Paisy and SAP HR are named as well; we found no public information on a documented pre-payroll check, an approval and lock step, or retro-accounting.

Absence & working-time

Haufe Talent

Complete silence on vacation, sickness, and working-time recording across both captures of the product catalog. Nothing here meets the BAG 2022 duty because nothing here exists.

rexx systems

Working-time capture is real — browser, app and browser-based terminals with QR and NFC, shift models, overtime accounts with capping rules and multiple time accounts — and vacation management does automatic pro-rata entitlement, contract-based calculation and full booking history, with electronic sick certificates imported and linked. We found no public information on public-holiday calendars per location, break and rest-period rules, or tamper-evident records tied to the German recording duty.

Recruiting & onboarding

Haufe Talent

No applicant tracking and no onboarding are evidenced, so there is no join path from contract to a provisioned account — my core test for onboarding. The only 'assistant' on the evidence is CoPilot, an AI answering from Haufe's content library; it does not create accounts, and no SCIM or provisioning interface appears anywhere.

rexx systems

The join path is close to one flow: multiposting, CV parser, scorecards, interview calendar sync, e-signed contracts, automated rejections, a stated six-month applicant deletion, and signed candidates flow into the onboarding module without re-entry, where workflows assign equipment tasks with reminders. I judge onboarding by whether it creates the account, and we found no public information on automated account or access provisioning; budget-gated requisitions are likewise not evidenced.

Employee data protection & co-determination

Haufe Talent

A privacy policy page was captured but yielded not one confirmed fact — no DPA, no role model, no retention periods, no executable deletion. Missing evidence is the finding: I cannot walk this into a works council on the strength of a footer link.

rexx systems

Encryption, role rights and an audit trail are stated, data subject rights are documented, applicant data is deleted after at most six months, and AI ranking is optional with no automated decisions and a self-hosted open-source model — a works council can at least read the scope of the analytics. We found no public information on a signable data processing agreement, employee retention periods per category with automatic deletion, or field-level access control with a log of who read what.

European sovereignty

Haufe Talent

The pipeline resolved nothing: legal entity, ownership, data residency, and subprocessor exposure all unknown, and the imprint and privacy captures confirmed no entity or hosting facts. Provenance says Freiburg, which keeps it off the US anchor's floor, but a German-sounding name is not documentation — no published hosting, contracting entity, or subprocessor list.

rexx systems

Vendor and contracting entity are German, hosting runs in rexx's own cloud in Germany and Switzerland with ISO 27001:2022 certified operation, and an on-premises option exists for buyers who need it. The imprint lists Austrian and Swiss group entities without saying which one closes customer contracts, and we found no public information on a published subprocessor list for the product or the named data-centre provider.

Pricing transparency

Haufe Talent

Not a euro, a tier, a billing period, or a per-employee number appears anywhere in the captures. An HR lead can compute nothing from these pages; everything is a sales conversation.

rexx systems

Everything is individually calculated — the pricing page says individual calculation with no standard packages — and even the preconfigured small-company entry package is stated in consulting and training hours rather than in currency. We found no public per-employee price, billing period, term or setup fee, so an HR lead cannot compute an invoice from the public pages.
