What 123 Arbolus experts think of Anaplan

NPS distribution leans positive: about 60% of scores are above 8, but notable mid-range (6-7) and some detractors are present. Renewal intent is split, with high spenders more committed while several mid/low spenders indicate non-renewal or remain uncertain. Implementation stickiness is robust in most long-tenure accounts, but recent or pilot stages see lower satisfaction and more churn concerns. Key expert feedback highlights strong modeling and planning capabilities, offset by complexity, cost, and integration challenges.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
