What 70 Arbolus experts think of Dayforce

NPS scores are wide-ranging (2–10), with the majority clustered between 6 and 9. Renewal intent is generally positive among high spenders and influencer roles, though cost and complexity are common negatives. Stickiness is high in implementations over one year but several cite price sensitivity and usability for considering alternatives. AI innovation and cost inflation are the leading concerns. Experts frequently praise the breadth of features, support, and community, but flag post-contractual price hikes and workflow complexity. Overall Customer Sentiment: Neutral
