What 57 Arbolus experts think of Checkmarx

NPS is skewed highly positive, with 70% of responses ≥8, especially among influencers and high spenders from regulated sectors. Renewal intent is strong in these segments, with only a handful of responses showing uncertainty or negative intent, primarily from low-spend, pilot-stage, or offboarding roles. Stickiness is high: the majority of customers are in MoreThan1Year implementation with only isolated outlier churn risk. Qualitative feedback consistently cites the tool’s coverage, integration, and update frequency as main drivers of satisfaction, with isolated concerns around implementation complexity and false-positive management.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
