What 17 Arbolus experts think of Altair

NPS distribution is positively skewed, with over 70% of scores at 8 or above. However, there is a segment at the neutral/lower end (NPS 5-7), particularly among low/mid spenders. Renewal intent is mixed: high spenders in manufacturing and banking signal confidence, but 40% of Influencers report uncertainty. Stickiness is high with 60% at more than one year implementation. Key themes include positive feedback on code migration, cost-effectiveness, and computational capacity. Main hesitations center on limited AI capabilities and challenging integrations.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
