What 12 Arbolus experts think of Astronomer

NPS is polarized, with several high scores (8-9) among large, long-term customers, and mid-to-low scores (5-7) among users in pilot or offboarding stages. Renewal intent is strong among top spenders and those with over a year of implementation, but a notable share of recent or low-spend customers report non-renewal or uncertainty. Stickiness is highest post one year, but complexity and cost concerns are recurring themes in qualitative feedback. Experts cite Astronomer's strengths in managed Airflow, scalability, and observability, but highlight perceived platform abstraction and cost as primary barriers. Overall Customer Sentiment: Neutral
